Reply With QuoteWelcome aboard they are some great watches you have there.
Hello to all of you, I’ve been lurking here for a while and have now joined up. I bought myself my first “proper” watch last year, a 36mm Rolex Explorer, as a treat for my 50th. This year I’ve also bought a polar Explorer2 and a Citizen diver as a daily beater. Hopefully pics below if I can get the hang of posting them.
I wasn’t keen on the Citizen rubber strap so I bought a selection of straps from Time Factors, it’s currently on a “Yet Another Bond” NATO. I’m going to try and not buy another watch for a while, I’d like to enjoy what I have for the time being. Having said that I’m sure it’s gonna get expensive if I hang out in this place!
Thanks for looking. Regards, Gary

Welcome and a nice trio there.
The Citizen is really nice.
The other two are popular forum choices.
Beautiful collection. Welcome !
love those, and Hello
Welcome aboard.
Like your Explorer Two !!
Madness starts now
Hi and welcome to the forum!
Welcome to the forum. That's quite a start you've made with your pictured watches. You've covered most of the bases but there's plenty of other strap options to explore ()...as well as watches...
Welcome to the forum.
Welcome along, 2 very nice watches there, many more to come I hope!
Ah, new blood. Welcome!
An Explorer 1 and 2? Just how much exploring are you planning on doing?
Warm greetings.
Welcome aboard :)
Once again, thanks to everyone for the warm welcome.
Well, here's the thing. The Explorer 1 was very much an impulse purpose, I saw it and fell in love, I just had to have it. Being my first purchase I feel an attachment to it, I doubt I'll ever sell it. The Exp2 was much more considered, and only purchased after a fair bit of research. I do travel a fair bit and the 2nd time zone is a genuinely useful feature. But that said, the only exploring is at a desk!Originally Posted by ArghZombies
Trying to hold the madness in check....
Welcome Gary, enjoy your time here.
Very nice trio of watches there buddy. You can't go wrong with your Rolexes, and the Citizen is a very nice change from the more usual Seiko SKX0xx.
Good choices ;)
Welcome aboard.
Welcome to the forum, nice watches you have, enjoy.
