Really enjoyed the new one today!

Wore the new OQ to work


But, I put my loved Explorer on when I got home


Now I have to take the extra links out of this one


So wifey can have it back


That way, maybe she won't take this one right away


Cheers,
Bruce

Bruce, did the "it ticks so it can't be a real Rolex" instinct kick in at any time?

It feels more substantial, and I think it has a lot more presence. Definately unlike any other Rollie I've worn! I like it
