After monitoring various posts on dealers for 6 months or so, decided it was time to make the plunge into the Rep world...have always been fascinated by the Rolex Explorer II Whiteface...a subtle, sublime timepiece, in my opinion...pymt sent on 11/11, Hont acknowledgment next day, shipment on 11/16, cleared customs in San Francisco, CA on 11/23, on my wrist on 11/25. Will break out the camera tomorrow for a shot or two, it is pretty much what i wanted/expected. I would appreciate feedback from you all, on your thoughts...pics in the 'morrow...
