Beautiful watch!! Love the Explorer 1. I probably would have opted for it instead of the Explorer II if it were not for the 36 mm size and no date feature. However, I'm glad you love the Explorer exactly the way it is.

And to Chad (Leopardprey), its really great to see you posting on TRF again!

I love the Explorer and it looks PERFECT on your wrist!

Another great story as to why Rolex should always have a 36mm Sport watch in their lineup.

How does the size of the Explorer compare with an AK?

I absolutely love how clean the Explorer is, I just wish they were 40mm. I have thought about buying one several times, yet I can't pull the trigger. They are fantastic looking watches for sure, I find that I love most models that don't have the cyclops. Enjoy, it looks great on your wrist.
