Well I don't think the Explorer is hideous....

I think it's one of the best looking watches out there.

Everytime I see one of you photos, I want to buy an Explorer!

Just need to decide if I want preowned (with some history) or brand new...

Nice pic, Grasshoppa!

You really should earn some royalties for each Explorer Rolex sells.

Wait, so you're telling us you like the explorer and don't think that it's hideous? You're really contradicting yourself as you've spent countless posts bashing the explorer and now you change your mind. Wierd.

Just messing with you guy. Beautiful pictures as always.

If I remember correctly - only 1 person said it was hideous. It was a TRF member's wife. I said the Explorers are the least attractive of the Rolex lineup.
Lets not all get upset about what someone's wife said

Because of Kyle, I went to AD and tries it on yesterday, for the guy wearing SUB and GMT as everyday watch, the size seems to be small for me, but agreed that this explore looks nice. Thinking about it I should go for it or not or waiting for new Sub to add to my collection. Thks Kyle.

I think it will be a nice change, but it is totally up to you.

I certainly don't agree... It's classic, simple elegance. Especially with that Jubilee. Nice thing, as many others have stated, it's a tool watch that dresses up well.
