I actually pulled the trigger and got a V Serial Explorer 114270 recently. The more I looked at the new Model, the more I didn't like it.
The 36mm size is perfect for me though I have worn a number of other 40mm Rolex. It will work nicely together with my 16200 and maybe in the near future an Exp II.

Very nice Brad!

Jolu · 12 April 2010, 12:47 AM

Looking good! Congrats! (and yes, you need the II as well...

)

kyle L · 12 April 2010, 12:51 AM

Congrats, looks good on you! The Explorer is often overlooked, but I think it's a great watch.

GradyPhilpott · 12 April 2010, 01:02 AM

Wise choice.

Tools · 12 April 2010, 01:08 AM

Looks good............

shandy · 12 April 2010, 01:12 AM

An excellent Choice. This is the quintisential Rolex I think, beautiful build quality, understated, classy styling and superior comfort.
I was having coffee with Carl(carlhaluss) yesterday who has one. They really are the perfect watch, good enough for dress, work, swimming or just hanging out having a cup of Joe!

jglassjr · 12 April 2010, 01:14 AM

beautiful watch! congrats ............. and another sweet pic by kyle.... looking at his pix of the Explorer made me realize how beautiful the Exp. really is, and left me no choice but to buy 1 myself

Autobot · 12 April 2010, 10:29 AM

Looks great, I think I am going to have to wait until the new one comes out and I actually have it on my wrist before I rule it out. But I will still buy one hopefully by the end of the year.

Brenngun · 12 April 2010, 10:31 AM

Congrats on the new purchase. Wear it in good health.

kingblackbolt · 12 April 2010, 10:59 AM

Great choice my friend that is a classy and clean looking watch... you have to add an explorer II now as well as I recently did!

liquid_vox · 12 April 2010, 11:06 AM

A beauty, enjoy! I know I'm loving mine.

Mockingbird · 12 April 2010, 12:26 PM

My uncle recently bought one because he disliked the new one as well. (It was that or a wine collection, and I think he made the right choice)

Chipmunk · 12 April 2010, 12:29 PM

Looks good on you. Congrats

Lion · 12 April 2010, 12:37 PM

Great looking watch there Brad.

The Explorer is definitely growing on me.

Big CONGRATS!

I miss mine, I need to do something about that.

One of the cleanest and most attractive dials on any watch - great stuff!
