Did either of those come home with you?

Justinmg · 15 May 2021, 01:06 PM

I like the SS

SS Oyster · 15 May 2021, 06:10 PM

There are only three Rolex watches I like in TT (Daytona Champaign dial, new root beer and SkyD Champaign dial). The TT Explorer is NOT in any shape of form something I like.

Not the datejust then? Think the datejust belongs on two tone more than any other model :)

I agree that two tone Explorer is a huge surprise and a beautiful watch in person. I suggest to those who haven’t seen it yet, to reserve judgement until they see it in person.

First I hated the whole idea of TT EXP I, but little by little I see that I actually like it. I am still shocked that Rolex missed the 50th Ann. of Exp II. I think that it’s very strange that Rolex made the most radical change in EXP I line instead of EXP II.

I still think it's horrible.

ninjin · 15 May 2021, 08:48 PM

I was offered the TT Explorer but the yellow gold just didn't do anything for the Mrs. If it was Rose and Steel, definitely would have bought it.

AJMarcus · 15 May 2021, 09:43 PM

Loving mine. My daily wearer BLRO has been in the safe since I picked this up from my AD a week ago. Don’t knock it til you try it.

Jmbarrack · 15 May 2021, 09:44 PM

The more I see the TT Explorer the more I want one.

I love the new TT.
Totally unexpected. Straight out of the 80s. So interesting.

From those 2 SS for the win!

Not a TT fan for the Explorer.

AK797 · 15 May 2021, 10:57 PM

If it was a larger size I'd be pretty tempted.

I'm the opposite -- I don't think I'd want it at the larger size, but I'm very tempted at 36mm. Two-tone is a retro look, and to me that's a better fit with the more classic 36mm size. This smaller watch also dials back the "in your face-ness" of two-tone. I could see this being a very good look worn a little loose like a bracelet with a few actual bracelets beside it.

Arrogant comment. You're on a roll today.

LA_LEC · 16 May 2021, 03:15 AM

Personally I think TT makes the watch too flashy and takes away from the simplistic beauty of the all SS. Especially the dial with everything outlined in gold.

It makes a great smaller dress watch however.

Richie07 · 16 May 2021, 05:59 AM

Personal preference. Rolex know how to do TT and the Exp is another fine example.

Mwilsey103 · 16 May 2021, 06:04 AM

I actually like the TT Explorer a lot. Just having a hard time at the 10 K price point. Just doesn't seem right for an Explorer. But I do get why.

Mifune · 16 May 2021, 06:56 AM

TT Ex1 is a great lady's piece.

DC116710LN · 16 May 2021, 07:02 AM

I saw some mockups for a full gold Explorer, which I really liked. I have my name down for the steel version and will reserve judgement on the TT until I'm able to see it in person

Looks great AJ! I can't wait to see one in person. It was certainly an unexpected release. I just love the Explorer line in general.

I really don't see many women buying this, honestly. Not too many combos that are further off-trend than SS/YG w/black dial. Still a rose gold world when it comes to women's watches, and those that do have YG would typically have lighter dials these days.

Timekeep111 · 16 May 2021, 12:49 PM

Tim write has a vid up about what he picked from these two and why. He is pretty good.

jal356 · 16 May 2021, 01:05 PM

I would’ve liked it if it was full gold. Two tone has never looked good to me

Wonder if that'll be a special edition in 7yrs to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Everest expedition?

I second this. 36 mm is a great size for everyone

Singslinger · 16 May 2021, 06:02 PM

The TT version looks great,

Hopefully in future we'll see a TT Exp 2.
