Just added this, my first Explorer 1.
So good for so many reasons - 39mm size is spot on, matte dial, great lume, nice and thin, flip lock clasp, SS bezel, extremely comfortable, great legibility. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Congrats! I have the 36, and it’s my go to, very often. My dial is shinier, but any Explorer is just cool. Wear it in good health. ![]() Kat Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Noticed here in the UK Explorer prices dropping like a stone. New 40mm, 36mm and TT all failing to fetch Rolex retail prices now. The last 40mm completed and sold on ebay made £500 short of list. Older clean models without box and papers are under £4k now....ouch, but good to see a shift towards some market sensibility.

I just joined the Explorer club again 2 weeks ago! I owned a 14270 for a week about a decade ago and it was just too small. I flipped it and never looked back.
The 39mm 214270 Mark 2 is my fav Rolex of 25 years collecting! ![]() ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's a beauty! Curious if you have ever tried on the 214270 and/or owned one. Also, any issues with your 32xx movement? Scared me into a 39mm MK2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I own a MKII that I no longer wear. I prefer the smaller size of the 124270 plus the AR and gloss dial, longer PR , and handset/ dial lay out design. On my 7 inch wrist the MKII always felt “too much dial”. It’s a fantastic watch in photograph and on other peoples wrist but for me something was always a little off. I just prefer the smaller watch feel of the 36 even though both fit well. I’ve been lucky so far with crazy good accuracy. Almost spot on after 4 months of 24/7 wear. Now that I’m back at home I’m rotating it with my diver so I rest it in its fastest position ( most positions loose time ) and it’s running about 3 seconds fast per week. ..Explorer & Spring Diver - I’m just here for the photos.. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I wore it a lot, and loved it. But I always felt like I preferred it in photographs or in the mirror compared to how it looks when on my own wrist. The way we see a watch on our own wrist at 18 inches is very different to how we see the same watch on somebody else’s wrist at 6 feet away. ( or your own watch in a stand up mirror ) I think if my wrist was larger than 7 1/4 inches I’d probably still be wearing the MKII. The 124270 is definitely on the small side and if I wasn’t into the vintage sizing I wouldn’t have bought it when I first tired it in and was accustomed to the larger size on wrist. On my wrist the 40mm Explorer felt enormous ….. I definitely preferred the MKII . ..Explorer & Spring Diver - I’m just here for the photos.. lol |
