Explorer 214270

Very excited for this piece. I am turning 30 in a few months and am having a son next month.

As always the close up shots make it look large, but it is far from that. No one will notice this reference across a table.

This reference is everything it claims to be with legibility and practicality. Highly recommend it and it could easily be a “one watch collection”.

Looks super clean and simple! I wanted one but couldn't find it 4 10 months ago. Was fortunate to find a DJ41 SS

That’s a very nice birth year watch for your newborn son.

Congrats. I received my Explorer over 2 years ago as a gift from my wife and I still love it more every time I wear it. My favorite Rolex by a long shot. Perfection!

Very understated but quintessential Rolex, it is indeed an iconic watch! Some say it is a 'collection killer' as it can be the only watch you need. In time you will start to appreciate it more and more.

Top class.

The most legible Rolex dial on the market for me.

Despite it’s humbleness any WIS would spot that amazing 369 a mile off.

Beautiful watch. That is the 39mm right? Love the seal profile picture. LOL. I love people with a sense of humour. Well done.

Congrats! There’s a reason that the word “perfect” comes up every time the 214270 is mentioned.

Congrats! Ive never owned one, always ended up with a DJ or an Air King. Nice looking GADA piece though and could very well make a one watch collection. Enjoy and double congrats on the little one incoming as well..
