I love my Explorer for its comfort and versatility.

However for pure sex appeal I must admit it’s my first Rolex, my two liner

In my collection would be the 116610LN......outside I would go 116500LN or SD43, though the 126660LN is a definite sleeper hit.

Good pictures everyone!

Seems like the trick for a successful black dial is to add a splash or red or orange as Richris1 and others have demonstrated

Truth be told my Submariner is currently sporting a Yacht Master second hand for that very reason

Black and steel is classic Rolex style. Basically everything in my signature line. I do need to grab my 16610 and 114060 and do a group shot though. Too lazy at the moment

For now the Explorer’s and SD’s will have to do.

I think that's why the Air-King is the best of both worlds... Black and steel... But a very small pop of colour.

Yes that’s definitely my favourite.

Sea-Dweller I like everything aesthetic about it but not comfortable.
