Explorer on Rolex.com

[night]

Has anyone looked on the mobile site under movement specifications? It says this watch has a unirotational bezel coated in platinum. I was going to contact them but it is by letter and phone only

There are so many mistakes on the Rolex website and they have been that way since last year. I think Rolex hired CGI to do their website.

I just visited the site a minute or so ago and I looked at both the Explorer and the Explorer II, black and white dials, and none is listed as having anything but fixed steel bezels.

Wait a second! I see you're talking about the mobile site and sure enough if you go deep enough into the specifications, it does indeed state what you have reported.

That needs to be fixed.

It's always the mobile teams who make the biggest mistakes.

I found multiple mistakes like that! I forget where they are unfortunately.

I'm sure they would locate me the nearest Rolex dealer and would make sure I brought my wallet!

I drive around most of the day for work so I usually end up browsing the Rolex mobile site for my next watch and just for giggles I wanted to see if I could learn anything new about my current watch. I'm like I have a rotatable bezel?!

With the increasing use of mobile communications I would think you and I both wouldn't want that!

Good catch. Caught a few inconsistencies on the site myself over the years. Not an issue for us WIS but I feel bad for the average buyer looking up info.
