sorry if its been mention in a different thread...just wondering why rolex moved the text "explorer"to the bottom half of the dial,i dont mind it myself just a bit suprised when they did,just curious.

does anybody know?

maybe to even out the dial/text layout. just my guess.

I do.
I spoke at arms length for several hours at the Switzerland headquarters.
They said they wanted to.
They said the old dial looked terrible and the only way to salvage what was left to make it look better was to move the EXPLORER text.

Hope that helps!

Hell, I didn't even notice they did...much less why they did.

I imagine to be in line with the rest of the "professional" models. Sub, GMT...
