    That diabetes Explorer pic has made the rounds for weeks... definitely not One Two 's Explorer, but I imagine he's as morbidly obese, as the pic indicates.

    Meh - unoriginal copy & paste from him... we brushed it off initially & everyone was mostly polite, refraining from diabetes jokes

    I immediately knew it was a joke and got a good laugh. I got a great laugh when Handcuffed asked him if the tweet was him. You guys obviously are not familiar with the postings of One Two

    I've still got the 805 and 809. Those, and an 013 were my gateways, yes. Great intros into the hobby. Playing with an energetic 6 year old today so a bump or scuff goes unnoticed.

    Has anyone bought something like a pepsi or batman from an AD? My buddy has his name on the list all over town. The watch retails for like 10,600 but on secondary is 18-20. Seems like there is basically no chance he ever "gets the call".

    He’s probably screwed cause he has decent purchase history but he bought his last 3 watches at the individual boutiques and this is the first Rolex.

    Decided the next purchase is a Rolex Explorer II white dial. I want pre-2011 which would have a red GMT hand. It also looks like there was an updated movement in 2007 so will be looking for a 2007-2010.

    I regret not being more direct when I had an opportunity to buy one of these. I had it in hand, verbal agreement for cheap, but didn’t keep it while we arranged authentication… The seller got cold feet & I ended up with my IWC BP43 as a rebound watch.

    The Rolex bracelets are trash in that era, be warned - I didn’t have a lot of experience buying used, and the poor quality really threw me. I was worried, I was buying a fake

    Decided to pick up a watch habit for the new year after decades of not wearing one. It’s been since the Fossil days of high school and college. Went to a local shop I know and picked this up today. They are a Hamilton AD

    Does anyone in here actually own a Farer? I’ve seen hundreds of admiration posts in this thread over the last four years, but I can’t remember anyone actually buying one & curious.

    I ushered in 2025 by upgrading Mrs. Tamland’s iPhone to the cost of exactly one Farer today.

    On one hand, buying myself a Farer would offset the purchase. On the other, that’s a big nut on day one of 2025. :laugh:
