Explorer 1

[NewGuy74]

Hi,

I just recently bought my first Rolex, a Submariner, and I immediately became addicted. I am now particularly interested in buying the Explorer 1, however, buying two Rolexes within 6 months would be hard to run by the wife, if you know what I mean.

Here are my questions:

• Is Rolex going to stop making the Explorer 1 anytime soon? Is the Explorer 2 a replacement, or just an addition to the Explorer line? If production is halted, how much time do I have to convince the wife before I can't buy it new anymore?
• Are there any reasons why I should wait (other than my wife), for example upcoming improvements of the Explorer 1 in the near future?
• What is the price of the Explorer 1, brand new, from a certified dealer?
• How come it is impossible to find the official price of any Rolex on a website?

Thanks for your help in advance,

N.
