I may be going out on a limb but I believe Steven wears his better than this Stephen. He is an impossible act to follow:)

Wear what you want to wear anywhere, anytime.

Explorer is a pretty good choice.

usmc93 · 11 July 2014, 02:26 PM

I enjoy when watch people notice my Rolex, sparks good watch talk conversation. I am always looking at people's wrists.

bbressler · 11 July 2014, 02:38 PM

No one seems to know or notice that my Explorer is a Rolex. You'd have to be looking REALLY closely to read the name on the dial, it's not like when you see the macro photos of these watches on your computer. The vast majority of people don't notice watches anyways.

+1. A cyclops says "Rolex" more than the tiny type on most dials.

sionghchan · 11 July 2014, 03:04 PM

I did just that, got a 36mm 114270 Explorer 1 for work. Truly, no one noticed that it is a Rolex at all. Love that watch.

vman · 11 July 2014, 03:13 PM

99.9% of people may not care about what you wear to work, but once a single person notices and mentioned it, then all bets are off. However, remember that you wear the watch and the what does not (and should not) wear you. A yellow gold Day Date may push it, but any stainless steel model Rolex will fly under the radar.

nice point. and it also matters where you work. nudie bar, people will notice. government building, maybe not

skprd13 · 11 July 2014, 03:37 PM

Just wondering why your concern what people think about your watch at work? Personally I bought my watches with my own money so who cares what others think about my watchs. It is your money. Wear whatever you want to wear.

maybe he doesn't want his boss (or customers) to think they are paying him too much

My personal favorite of the understated, whereas Rolex is concerned, is an Oyster Perpetual no date. Tops on my list would be the blue dial followed by the silver. In fact, I like it better than the Explorer 1 as the OP has lime on the arabica and the Explorer 1 doesn't.

Attached is a pic (not mine) from another thread on this forum that shows the two:

Ooops! Sorry, must have been a late night and some fat fingers. Nope. I just realized my auto-correct did me in.

Perfect choice IMHO too, flies low, only someone that knows and is looking will pick this up.

I had a blue linen 1500 date for years. Some people noticed it.

Its substitute is now a 39mm Explorer I, which I bought
to have a good watch that is discreet. So far, it has
succeeded.

bridgs · 11 July 2014, 09:20 PM

If people can see the Rolex on the dial they must be pretty close to you. If they are that close, then any Rolex or high end piece will be noticed it seems.

beshannon · 11 July 2014, 09:30 PM

I wear this to work on most days, no one notices asks or cares which is just fine with me.

soho · 11 July 2014, 09:34 PM

I don't view the Pelagos, Black Bay or THC as understated. For understated, I would consider DJs and the Exp 1.

Explorer!

z32turbo · 11 July 2014, 10:41 PM

Explorer I is the most fly under the radar to me.

Cru Jones · 11 July 2014, 10:48 PM

explorer is a great option to fly under the radar.

your screen name, though, is not.

mjclark32 · 11 July 2014, 10:52 PM

The way you smell no ones going to get close enough to see your watch...

Any SS Rolex will fly reasonably under the radar, IMO (maybe not the YMII)

tkerrmd · 12 July 2014, 12:54 AM

You never said what work you do but if you smell like poop I would stick to the g shock

If it's work your worried about, I'd concern yourself with your smell first.

polarinda · 12 July 2014, 02:12 AM

If they see the cyclop, bam! Your're dead.

Everyone notices Rolex, so whatever Rolex you wear.It will catch people attention.
