My AD said it will likely be a year or longer before I get a call for a new Explorer 36. Out of frustration and curiosity, I decided to get a homage (Octopus 013 36mm with PT5000) to tide me over while I wait. My thought was to see how I liked living...

Last Sunday, my partner and I (plus one very interested friend) visited a Rolex AD in Tsim Sha Tsui to enquire about the purchase of an Air King (after months of deliberation and window shopping on my part).

We purchased my girlfriend’s OP from this ...
