Life goal achieved!

I did it! Trigger pulled, grail watch acquired. This has been coming for so long that I almost can't believe it's real. But it did happen, my Explorer is on my wrist. When I was a little girl looking at Rolex ads in National Geographic, I was told they were too expensive and hard to acquire. That's where it stayed, just an unattainable dream. But it can be done with careful planning and saving.

I'm so happy. Yay!

Do you think you will continue buying watch’s or is this one end all be all?

These posts are my favorite! Many congrats to you! The more I see the Explorer 1’s the more they grow on me. The Exp 2 is my fav of the two and a very hopeful purchase someday soon.

Wear your new watch in the best of health and I hope you have years and years of adventures ahead with it!

Thanks mate! When I tried the 124270 on I blurted out 'it's perfect.' I hope that's your experience with your grail. 😀

Good question. I'm going to hold off buying anything for awhile. I've got some other things to save up for (there is life outside of watches, who knew?😉) but I won't say never. I may buy some in the $5k range but as far as buying in the Rolex pricing tier, this may be it.

It can be done. I'm thinking of writing a post about how I bought my Rolex, the process of working with the AD, etc. Do you think there'd be an interest for that?

I’d definitely say so. A lot of people have Rolex as their grail watch so I’d imagine people would be interested.
