Rolex 124270 and 114270- couldn't be happier

[Daniel23456]

Hey folks,

I have had a 114270 for year's before I sold it, regretted it and brought a new one. I then wanted to try on the new 36mm 124270 and managed to get one from my AD. I was very skeptical and ready to dislike it and move it on, since I used to dislike all ceramic Subs I tried on and the 6 digits in general, are just too massive for my liking.

To my surprise, handling the new Explorer felt good. The best way to describe it IMO is that Rolex cares about the Explorer lineup. They have shaped everything there, and the 19mm lug width suits the design perfectly. The watch looks extremely refined and well balanced, as if that should have been the modern form of the Explorer all along.
The AR makes the watch extremely legible and pretty to look at. A very underrated feature. They beefed up the watch appearance without compromising on the proportions and comfort.

All in all, I think that Rolex did an amazing job with this release. It is one of my favorite releases from Rolex and it makes me love the brand even more.

The 114270 was sold a few days ago... I do miss it, it is extremely comfortable, but I won't be keeping two very similar watches...

Thanks for listening
