    Reach the top of the mountain!

    Well folks the time has come. I never imagined I would get to this point in this watch hobby/collecting madness, but I did and have met some amazing and talented people along the way on this journey. I've also gathered a boatload of information and knowledge from those people and am in a position now to share and help others.

    So I guess this would be the culmination of that journey. What a feeling and what a ride it has been this far !!!

    Danny

    I been meaning to say congrats to your most excellent choice! All my watches I love but if I had a gun to my head and was only able to choose one watch for the rest of my life my Ex2 would be the one.

    Besides, I was wearing it while my baby was coming into the world!

    Congrats and welcome to the club. This watch will spoil you for almost all other everyday watches. Best one made. Enjoy!
    Cheers,

    Michael

    Tell everyone you saw it on IWL!

    Disagree when it comes to universal everyday watches. You can only go down from here. Anything more is just fluff. And this is after three years of ownership.

    It's even spoiled me for every other Rolex. I tried to talk myself into the BLNR GMT again last week, and just can't. It would come to a gun fight with a knife with no blades. This was about the 30th time I've looked at adding one of these. It's just not as readable or usable as the white EXP II.

    I think you misunderstood my humour.
    I wasn't putting the watch down, it was just a comment that you're never finished while you have a bunch of enablers like us around.
