Congrats! I love this watch too and do remember the time when they used to be impossible to get.

I'm always on and off about the Exp. There was a time I bought one and i foolishly bought a fraud although I got my money back it was disappointing. I have to admit that I'd still be happy to own one only I like having more options for the dial. The Mercedes hand and night time luminosity really is attractive to me.

One of the best classics. Big TAD fan here too, still wearing the first generation Legionaires.

Congrats! Just an absolute classic. Goes with everything. Anyone have the 36 and 39 versions? I'm curious how the glossy black compares to the matte. Here's mine.

I own both but not at the same time and personally I like the glossy dial on the 36mm version a lot more.

36mm 14270


39mm 214270

Congrats on the explorer 👍 It sure is a great all rounder and possibly the most under the radar Rolex out there also does seem to wear bigger than 36mm

Love it 🍻

Congrats, great watch! The only reason why i don't own one yet, is that i can't the decide between 36 and 39...
Great allrounder and a true beauty!

Thanks everyone!! Really a great all rounder particularly if situation calls for stealth mode. All my other watches scream Rolex while the Explorer is handsomely unassuming and low key.

The size takes some getting used to but I'm loving it so far.
