First Rolex

Finally! Was able to secure a 216570 Explorer II with box and papers! I've been hunting for this particular model for the better part of a year. I had tried the 16570 (which was my grail prior to trying it on) but I just didn't connect with it and I really wanted to like it but it felt too small for my 7” wrist.

This one turned up last week during black Friday and I pulled the trigger, just in time for my birthday too!

Unfortunately I plan on parting ways with my Tudor Black Bay steel, I just feel the two pieces are way too aesthetically similar to justify owning both.

Honestly, it came down to price and not wanting to be on a waitlist.
