New Explorer - Rolex is ON FIRE!!!
This is the best Basel from them since I've started following watches. The new Explorer just shown on Hodinkee fixes the short hands I always hated. New, ceramic SS Daytona, PVD'd BB. Nicely done!!!

Yes, this year is a lot better than last year. Last year I was like "meh".

I wasn't blown away by any piece.
Other than the Air King, which I do not like. The Daytonas look cool, but look less expensive as they use to. I do really like the blue face Daytona though! |

One can never really tell from the photos on the Rolex site since they seem sometimes to be doctored, but the lume looks to be a deeper blue than the Super luminova that came out across the range about three years ago.
Anyone shed some "light" on this?

The lumed numerals look sweet!

I've read a lot of people complaining that the Explorer isn't really new... They have a point but I'm glad Rolex finally fixed their screw up.
