ARRIVED..... A suprising true iconic classic.
She arrived in pristine condition yesterday from our very own jizeal and is stunning. I have been trying to find what is to be my forever watch (I'm not a collector and prefer just one piece to accompany me day and night, year after year. My first two Rolexes served me for 6 years each). Well 3 Rolexes later I think I have found her. She is a true Rolex classic, some might argue the last of the classics that remained true to their Rolex heritage the longest. The 114270 Explorer I.
I love the simplicity, the elegance, yet toughness all rolled into one. She is truly a do it all piece, from jeans and t-shirt to tux. She is the woman's version of the little black dress. She has conquered Everest, was on Ian Fleming's wrist as he put a Rolex onto James Bond's arm, worn by celebrities, and had no drastic changes since 1953. Yet she doesn't scream look I'm a Rolex, she doesnt have to she lets her beauty speak for her. For you car lovers she reminds me of a Ferrari Dino with stunning lines and grace and equally at home on country backroads as well as in front of a Four Seasons. She's not very common or popular yet is truly loved and often quoted as a favorite by those who own her. I'm glad to say I'm now a member of the 3,6,9 club....... |

That's actually one reason I like it better than the DJs I've had, I got tired of having to set the date everytime a month had less than 31 days haha

What serial is the one that came out on 2010 before it became 39mm? What's the difference inside too?
Nice watch! Been on my radar since 2004. It's been ten years and I still haven't bought one. lol |
