I dont have one yet but it's first in my list of next purchase.

36mm Explorer as my daily beater! quiet luxury and tough as hell!

tle156 · 9 May 2019, 05:03 PM

I am a big fan of the Explorer 1 but not the ongoing model. Much prefer the 36mm version.

Big fan, after recently getting one

Woah!! Is that a Blackout??

Bought one as my first Rolex several months ago. Beautiful and fairly understated (as far as Rolex goes) watch. Ended up selling it shortly after purchasing because the polished bezel seemed to be a bit a scratch magnet, and I'm one of those irrational people who cannot stand obvious scratches on my watches. Replaced it with a Black Exp. II, which is also fantastic.

On "the list" for an Explorer II... Not the same, but a distant cousin none the less...

It’s just Rolex Oysterflex straps and some SmartyJones (Daytona) end links. It works with the stock clasp and you can even wear without the end links but I think they add a nice touch and inexpensive.

That's me! Thanks for the shoutout Tom :-)

Loving mine as well!

bellesdad0417 · 10 May 2019, 02:11 AM

I wear mine in rotation

Ricky Rolex · 10 May 2019, 07:58 AM

Would love to get an oysterflex for mine.

What kind of price do they go for and how easy / hard are they to fit?

nick c · 10 May 2019, 07:59 AM

I’m not a fan, but looks good on you.

Sub is my daily, however I love the Explorer and may add one to the collection in the near future. Bomb proof and really a great looking time piece that is underestimated in my opinion.

Its a nice looking watch. For me however, there are other models higher on my list, as far as acquisitions go. I'll likely get one eventually just to tie up the Rolex collection I'm amassing. You have good taste!

I have the Mk1 214270 which is my first Crown and have had it for 5 years now. Still loving it everyday.

Near perfect. Needs a date wheel.

The explorer is one of the true classics. It will never go out of style and is very very versatile!

It's a great all-rounder that has a timeless good look to it. The watch also looks great on oysterflex/rubber straps for those who like to change it up.

jsausley · 10 May 2019, 11:29 PM

Love my Explorer. The only thing that I don't like about it is how easy the polished bezel scratches.

It will be my next Rolex for sure, great watch and so versatile at 39 mm.
