Indeed - the Railmaster is a superbly crafted watch, as is the even better value MKII Vantage. I must confess that the hands on the new, more expansive Explorer do not detract from its aesthetic appeal, as far as I'm concerned. Like wanasub, I'm keen to see this one in the flesh.

Ever since Kyle has been displaying his superb photographs of his Explorer, and I'm sure I'm not alone, my appreciation of this model has grown. 36mm, however is just too small for me, so I was delighted to hear that there Basel saw the release of this larger model. It's my favourite Rolex from this year's show.
