Yet another 1st Rolex - Explorer

I wanted professional Rolex and the Explorer was the max my wrist could handle. I am not fond of big and fat watches so much. I like it a lot. I miss the date a bit yet because I work with dates a lot and was used to having date watches. If I want to feel better just look at my watch.

Sorry for the bad pics.

That is a classic....

There aren't many dials that can compare to instant "Rolex Recognition"..

Good for you........

it must be the perspective, hands are small just like the wrists, but the watch is perfect fit, the AK looked a bit small even on my wrist

I think that the EXp is the most comfortable of the Pro series as well.
It just disappears.

I didn't wear my Exp 1 today, but instead wore my SD. I'm currently in Southern California on a business trip, and the weather down here in Irvine is very warm. The SD feels a bit bulky today and I wish I would have worn my Exp 1 instead !

I'm a incurable fan of the Explorer. I actually sold a Sub to get mine. Extremely comfortable, quiet elegance and unparalleled readability... what's not to like

That's absolutely perfect! the size is just right too! I wear an AK because it is just the right size and presentation for me - I love the understated look of your timepiece! Nice
watch!
Of course, I want one too!

I love my Expy, as it is my introductory introduction to the Rolex line. I wear it well and everyday, and hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
