Congratulations! A lovely thing. If I were to buy a modern Rolex, this would be the one.
First I need to learn if I would go to Rolex Prison for swapping bracelets out for straps.
The thing about the Explorer it looks great on just about anything. My favorite combo.
That Explorer is about my favorite Rolex. My only beef with it is the same as my general complaint against Grand Seiko—it’s just too much of a generalist and I like my more specialized (read: goofy) choices.
And I’m addicted to my unique buying opportunities, which goes along with being further out in the tail of the distribution.

Your choices are anything but goofy - and, sorry to say, the VC is gone but certainly not forgotten - I sold it just before the pandemic hit. My final consolidation is coming in 2021 and the VC may very well be re-purchased. I miss that one the most.
Nothing as desirable as the previous aquisition, but I've just nipped out to pick these up:
Many swear by DeWalt power tools, but I've always been a Makita fan and all but one of my power tools are Makita. Nothing against DeWalt, I just prefer the feel of Makita kit.
However: When it comes to driver bits and adapters, Makita 'can't touch' DeWalt (imo); so when these came up in a half price sale, I grabbed 'em.
Some people have opinions - The rest of us have taste.
