Hopeful but disappointed

These are the Explorers on which I had pinned my hopes. Ceramic fixed bezels.

These would be winners at 40mm.

Love the white dial. IMO, The seconds hand should have an orange circle instead of black.
This would maintain the color motif across the EXP1 and EXP2 lineup. |

I would buy that cream/white dial Explorer at 39mm, the mock up looks great.

That is what I expected to see at Basel this year. I had already told my AD that if this is released I want it!

Not sure about the black lume....but, a white Explorer could be pretty nice!

I do like the white Exp, esp if it had Onyx markers.

I like it and would give it some serious consideration if ever released.

There is a historical reference for this: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/fo...h-a-white-dial
But there was also a white air king with black 3,6,9 markers. You might try that because I have a hard time believing Rolex will ever come out with a white Explorer. But never say never, right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Such cool concepts in this thread! The white exp1 is sickkk. The ceramic exp2 would be a major success!

The 114200 looks great but it’s only a 34mm. I’m not ready for a watch that small.

Not a fan of the black numerals. Maybe white with black surrounding, like the Exp II polar.

That would definitely scratch my itch for a white dial Rolex, & my desire for a polar 16570 could become a distant memory.

I still think these are the least visually appealing watches Rolex makes, utility aside. However the the Daytona with ceramic bezel was a game changer for me in liking it more, this, while better to me is still not uber appealing.

So interesting how different watches appeal to different people. Explorer and Explorer 2 are the only Rolexes I find visually appealing. Go figure.

Interestingly, I used to really dislike the Daytona visually, but the Daytona C....wow...that was something else. However, that being said the original in certain configurations has grown on me a bit. Furthermore, the stainless steel bezel looks cheap to me, as almost EVERY homage watch or wanna be sports something similar, and after polishing a few times looks a bit sub par. Ceramic on the other hand takes an overall nice watch and makes it stellar. Even the Oris Aquis and some Omega models with the Ceramic look very appealing. However I'm not fawning over Omegas sans a few models just in passing, yet the Oris Aquis in green is an inexpensive and very pleasant watch in its own right. I may even like it more than the "Hulk" in some aspects. Its certainly not a wanna be Rolex, and that I appreciate. |
