Incoming explorer!



I had the original Mk1, thought it was one of the best watches i had ever owned. I didn’t love the white gold markers, and the tiny hands were a bit off. This new 40MM version is just about perfect. Sitting in line for school pickup, thought i would drop in and post the newest incoming!

I know there are purist who insist on 36mm, but I think that looks amazing on your wrist.

Great pic.

Congrats on your 40mm Explorer! Looks great. I've seen them at an AD and think they look good for size. There's an Explorer for everyone. Wear it in good health. Cheers!

Congrats! This is my one and only (and first) Rolex. Such an under the radar watch. You can safely wear it anywhere and no one would know.
