I haven’t been paying attention, so belated congrats on this. One of the best watches in existence IMO.

Thanks Christopher and Todd!

Christopher - I regularly reflect how deep your passion for Rolex runs, and I always am amazed at the information and pieces you share.

Todd - thanks for your input (always). I agree, in the short time I’ve owned it I’ve really gained a lot of respect for it.

I saw a pic on Twitter today of the Ranger and the Exp I side by side. While I love your Ranger (first I had seen IRL), seeing them side by side, I know you made a great choice.

The Explorer is DEFINITELY a number of levels up on the Ranger - knowing that you liked my Ranger, I’m looking forward to showing you this one.

The original proportions of the Ranger helped the design.

Can't beat the Explorer's though.

I’ve been seeing that! I’ll have mine for a week tomorrow and been doing the same. I’m absolutely loving it.

Hey Eric, the watch is the 39mm model, and my wrist is ~7.25”. I’m wearing all factory the links and have the clasp adjusted to the smallest size. I occasionally open the comfort link, but not often.

BTW: you are crazy, but not for watch choices. I understand that you enjoy disco music, nothing wrong with that. I get that many people like to sing along, again not a problem. I think you singing “Bad Girls” by Donna Summer is a little odd, but that you dress up like her is definitely a little crazy.

I actually didn’t even make the connection, so it must be subliminal.

Mike did rock the wig much better than I thought he would.
