Explorer: Up hills and at sea . . .
The past three or four months have been pretty fun, not least because I bought my first Rolex during this time (the 214270 Explorer). The Explorer has been on my wrist every day since I bought it. During this time I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa (19,341 feet), skippered a 40-foot yacht around the Greek islands, climbed Jebel Toubkal in Morocco (13,671 feet), coached my son’s youth rugby team, introduced my daughter to rock climbing, and (at least once or twice) showed my face at the office. The Explorer has felt and looked entirely appropriate in all these settings: I’m very pleased with it.

Welcome to TRF. 214270 is a great watch. I know as I have one as well. Your post has got me thinking about wearing mine a lot more.

I've always wanted to do Kilimanjaro. Did you book through a travel agency? The logistics of getting there have always put me off.
