The logical thing to do would be to renew the calibre for the new 3232. The rest of the watch would remain the same with its 39 mm diameter.

.

The first novelty would be an Explorer with a white dial.

.

The other surprise would be an everose gold Explorer.

.

Do you like the addition of the new caliber?

What do you think of the white Explorer?

...and the Explorer everose gold?

I am not into rose gold watches as its never been my cup of tea.

White dial however, bring it on!

DaveDhc · 5 May 2020, 02:07 AM

It would be too bad to see the explorer offered in gold. The explorer line has been true to its roots. Its nice that several lines of Rolex sport watches are like the explorer in that they remain steel utility pieces.

dysondiver · 5 May 2020, 02:29 AM

Could you do gold hands and indices rings on the gold one please.

brandrea · 5 May 2020, 02:39 AM

It’s hard to improve on a good thing. The movement upgrade will most likely migrate to all the Rolex references in time.

As for PM and Explorer ... that seems like an oxymoron to me

Dini · 5 May 2020, 03:03 AM

I'd love the white dial Explorer! I feel like it should actually be offered in black and white just like the Explorer II.

Dahh · 5 May 2020, 03:21 AM

The white dial looks pretty cool, the rose gold is not that bad too.

doramas · 5 May 2020, 04:16 AM

I don't like a gold Explorer either. It's not the spirit of the Explorer.

RyanJ · 5 May 2020, 04:31 AM

The explorer would be fine in precious metals. No different than the subs in precious metals.

I would buy a white dial Explorer immediately.

AK797 · 5 May 2020, 04:39 AM

White looks cool. Polar.

vette boy 52 · 5 May 2020, 04:46 AM

NO gold Explorer!! And no PLC the white (polar) dial would be fine.

Montremoi · 5 May 2020, 04:46 AM

White dial would be great, but with black hands & indices.

Rose gold version looks dope.

But above all, a (not likely) return to 36 mm would be nice.

Doc Savage · 5 May 2020, 04:47 AM

The white dial makes it look too much like the Explorer II. We already have the Explorer II.

And as sexy as the gold/black Rolex combo looks, it removes it from the pure tool status that is the 214270's home.

I expect the movement upgrade will happen next year.

2nastie · 5 May 2020, 04:52 AM

The white dial would add a difference to the watch for sure. I would definitely be up for that one.

Would like to see an oyster flex version as well.

Pass on the PM versions for this model. Have to keep this one true to its roots.

NachoNeal · 5 May 2020, 04:59 AM

+1 on the white dial.

Stud Screw · 5 May 2020, 05:03 AM

People will be laughing at rose gold twenty years from now.

Largoshark · 5 May 2020, 06:40 AM

I just had a thought...white dial Exp 1 with the introduction of a new metal - Rolex's first titanium watch. It would be super light and durable. The Rolex "Snowflake"

In all seriousness though, if Rolex were to introduce a titanium watch, I do think that the Explorer 1 would be a prime candidate.

-Ally- · 5 May 2020, 06:49 AM

White dial is nice but nothing special.

Gold is as pointless as a gold submariner, if you’re going to spaff £30k on a precious metal watch it should be something elegant and dressy, not a tarted up sports/tool watch.

Xenon · 5 May 2020, 06:52 AM

I want a silver dial!

Alpino · 5 May 2020, 06:55 AM

.

If/when Explorer will be renewed that won't be with a 3232 but a 3230.

The difference between 3130 and 3132 is only the paraflex shock system, and all 32xx have it.

nighthawk77 · 5 May 2020, 07:14 AM

Not sure the PM would be a hit. White might work & it would be cool seeing an ExpII themed white 214270 - i.e. black handset, maybe orange seconds.

Although the movement might get updated, the very fact this is a no date means its quick and easy to set, and an extra 24 hours PR isn't that big a deal.

subtona · 5 May 2020, 07:35 AM

My thought to make the explorer the perfect watch is for it to use the Daytona case.

The current case and lugs are too chunky.

1978 · 5 May 2020, 07:50 AM

Platy Explorer or bust!

DLRIDES · 5 May 2020, 08:13 AM

I keep hoping for a modern sized version of 41-42mm.

That's big for the kind of watch that it is.

The 41mm Datejust doesn't really measure that diameter. It's about 39.5 mm.

AJMarcus · 5 May 2020, 09:39 PM

The Explorer is the last remaining tool watch. Don’t think it will ever be in any metal other than SS. You can take that to the bank

Thuilln · 5 May 2020, 09:40 PM

A gold Explorer !

garyk · 5 May 2020, 09:51 PM

White dial is cool but the Explorer was traditionally a high viz watch, right? Black dial will remain imo...
