Greetings fro the Pacific Northwest
Hello RG!
After joining and researching around the forums for a few weeks, I finally pulled the trigger on my first rep, a 2011 Explorer II. I found mine in the m2m section here at repgeek. It's not the "1:1" noob model, but it features a serviced a2836 and superlume, but best of all, it only cost me $166. I am really impressed with the details of the watch and the bracelet, especially the fit and comfort of the clasp have exceeded my expectations. The seller couldn't have been better, and he even threw in a couple of nato straps to compliment the watch free of charge. Now that it's here I can finally say that I am part of the community! I've already got a few other models on my wish list, plus I have ordered a classic seadweller and a gen insert to franken...
Anyway, here's a shot of my new rollie:
