I am the one who like it so so much even it small and not famous as king size.

Anyone think like me??

Quicksilver · 14 September 2016, 09:08 PM

I love it. Its a classic. Bigger is not always better.

77T · 14 September 2016, 09:31 PM

A great many vintage lovers share your preference - nice older one with its depth rating in dial.

Rebel · 14 September 2016, 09:43 PM

Yes.

gnuyork · 14 September 2016, 11:43 PM

Yep, it's one of my favorites (but I don't own one...someday)

jdmi32 · 15 September 2016, 03:41 AM

It's next up on my list. They are not rare but try finding one with nice and even patina on the dial and hands, along with a case that's not been over polished.

Love your 6610. I remember seeing some with the depth rating in red. But either way that's a beautiful watch. The 1016 ain't bad either.

Beautiful trio

PatrickJ · 15 September 2016, 04:39 AM

My one and only Rolex. If I can afford another Rolex model in the future I will keep the Explorer as well.

Swiss_Time_Watches · 15 September 2016, 05:43 AM

Very nice op. I'd like one.

roll9 · 15 September 2016, 07:09 AM

my 1016 has been my daily wearer since I got it.

Toronto Soup King · 16 September 2016, 12:09 AM

I like the whole 101X range but the older Explorers are a little much for me - lovely examples, OP! One thing, though - take that bracelet to Michael Young in HK, he'll make it like new again.

lotte · 17 September 2016, 12:53 AM

Yeah a lot of friend here

The Explorer (traditionally, it was never referred to as the "Explorer I") is an undeniably iconic timepiece. One could argue this reference, more than any other, is the essential Rolex watch.

Certainly my favourite piece.

Karbo · 17 September 2016, 06:30 PM

My first rolex

Verdi · 17 September 2016, 07:04 PM

Ian Fleming style.
Love the vintage Explorers with the even patina.
That puppy with the depth rating is jst beautiful.

1William · 17 September 2016, 09:18 PM

I like it. A true Rolex classic.

tws · 22 September 2016, 04:08 PM

I'm been pretty obsessed with the Explorer 1 for a while - After years of waiting, I finally sold a newer 39mm for a very sweet older 114270- 36mm... Apparently the watch I always wanted. For me, the style, the size, and the weight are perfect.

But if anyone knows roughly the years of production of the different series I'd be very appreciative - specifically the K series... Mine's from 2001, but don't know how long it was between series' shifts.

Thanks.

30more · 24 September 2016, 07:23 AM

Yes, maybe one day I will have a 1985 Production year 1016! If you have the opportunity I would say get it

Cato · 26 September 2016, 02:48 PM

Yup, that's my all time favorite Rolex.

I had to go with a DJ because I can't remember the date for the life of me.

Ticking_Sonata · 28 September 2016, 03:29 AM

Lovee explorer. Its just a bit too small for my wrist. Otherwise its perfect
