Spectacular! I see the "high-end" Rolex on the RWF but never feel envious as I love my "plain jane SubC! Every Rolex is spectacular in my book. To each his own. Wear in great health!

Congratulations, the Explorer is a great watch.
Looks fantastic, it is classy and elegant with a sporty touch, and interesting history.
Very comfortable on the wrist.

I have more expensive Rolex watches but I wear my Explorer more than all the other ones combined.

Nothing modest about that watch at all. My SA actually got one for herself and she loves it. Wear it in good health and wear it all the time....

I like it much better than the “...high end models that people go crazy about...“.
Enjoy!

Congratulations and best wishes with it.

Classic, timeless (no pun intended), achingly cool, maybe. Modest? Depends on the context you are using. I don't think there's anything modest about the Explorer. It just doesn't need to try too hard.

Your excitement is contagious. And to have the stars align on your birthday! I agree that this watch isn’t as hyped as others, but it’s my favorite Rolex. Cheers!
