Explorer 36mm Questions
Hello!!
Does anyone know the last production date of the 36mm Explorer? Toward the end of production, the letters were engraved on the inner walls of the dial (like the newer 39mm models - does anyone know when this started and stopped? I'm wondering how rare this is. Thanks so much for any help! Jeff |

The last 36mm Explorer is the 114270. Production trickled out sometime in 2009. The engraved rehaut isn't rare

Yep, although some people try to make a few of the modern pieces rare, ie: the stick dial 16710 with the 3186 movement. But that's an argument for a different time! Lol!

Even though mine is the 39mm version it's still very very comfy. It gets the most wrist time out my collection. Love the Explorer I!

The 36mm Explorer is one which begs for a worn leather, fabric or nylon strap.
It defines the brand as much as the original Oyster and the first Sub.
