Thanks Ron. It is versatile.

I am still not sure on the two tone, but it looks a whole lot better than I initially thought it would.

The gold doesn't totally over take the watch. That was my biggest fear.

Danny83 · 9 May 2021, 10:22 AM

Congrats

kieselguhr · 9 May 2021, 11:23 AM

Congratulations AJ!!!!

ink3027 · 9 May 2021, 11:27 AM

Incredibly gorgeous watch, it looks great.

And not to nitpick, but it's a 124273

Thanks. I fat-fingered it in my excitement to post. Thanks for clarifying it.

I had concerns too. The gold is quite subdued. I had a 16713 and the 124273 is more low key than the Submariner TT. I am quite pleased. Not bling at all. The classic Explorer size and the lack of a sports bezel I think helps.

Love it. Big congrats!

Vuerre · 9 May 2021, 03:19 PM

What an awesome watch, Congratulations!
Could you please post real measured dimensions? We could read about the bracelet already, it‘s 19 mm. But what about the case? It looks more like 37 mm instead of just 36 mm. Lug tip to lug tip? Would be very appreciated.

Lew Archer · 9 May 2021, 03:36 PM

I love it when a watch plan comes together!

Congratulations! The watch looks great and, objectively, the proportions of the Explorer are perfect for you. Doesn't mean a Submariner is too big...as originally conceived, the Sub was a purpose built, no nonsense dive watch, meant to be larger than the average watch for quite practical reasons, including its robust design, depth rating, legibility underwater, and so on. Over decades the Sub became fashionable, as well, and fashion trends made its larger size "average". Trends come and go...these watches were well designed and beautifully proportioned from their beginnings through the present day.

This new Explorer remains a rugged watch, capable of handling whatever environment you might be in, whether harsh or posh (and the gold certainly helps it in that realm!).

Nice to hear these watches are showing up already and that people are getting them the tried and true MSRP way--from an AD!

minute_man · 9 May 2021, 03:50 PM

Congrats AJ, looks great and fits you well.

I wish I could pull off 36's...

Wear it in good health

rolexHamster · 9 May 2021, 04:34 PM

Looks great! Hoping to get one this year but it would be my first rolex.

carlhaluss · 9 May 2021, 04:55 PM

Well done! I really like that two tone. Great to see you got one already. I put myself on the list for the all stainless steel, because I miss my 114270 so much. Love the proportions on this new one. Congratulations!

Gand · 9 May 2021, 05:17 PM

Pinchy · 9 May 2021, 07:51 PM

Congrats looks great.

I've only got a 6" wrist and am feeling pretty confident I should be pushing my AD for an explorer now!

winst · 9 May 2021, 08:17 PM

Just realised, the title of the thread says it is a 124270 but isn’t the TT a 124273?

spacedinvader · 9 May 2021, 08:55 PM

Looks great. Both 2 toneness and size work very well. Like others when I first heard about PM in an Explorer I was sceptical but you know what?…. why shouldn’t an explorer have a bit of gold in their watch, especially when it’s done that nicely! And I suspect it’s even better in the metal.
