In South East Asia - here the number of resales pieces seems to get lesser, and almost non-existence for new pieces in local retailer scene - just my some observations in the past 2-3 wks

Let me put it another way. Rolex released the 31 series caliber in the 1988, almost 30 years of R&D later they released the 32 series caliber in 2015.
Do you think Rolex feel they have improved the movement during this period? You being pedantic over the term 'lesser'. As I said not my words but it was clear what he was implying.

Interesting to hear you say Rolex feels an improvement but you do not and you list a crown on the bottom of the dial as one of the notable updates. Think I understand your mindset perfectly now. Thanks for the debate, it was interesting. Stay safe. Peace

I said you were being pedantic over the term 'lesser' & I stand by that, you are. I also said I found it interesting that you listed a crown at the bottom of the dial as one of the notable updates, highlighting your one-eyed opinion of the new movement. Everyone loves the 31 series movement, i'm one of them. That was never is question and neither was your preference of movement choice.

That would be an amazing feature and would still keep the Explorer's clean and timeless looks.

No need for glide lock, that would ruin the Explorer 1 bracelet!!
It’s so comfy and perfect already. It has 3 micro adjuster positions in the clasp and of course the half link, which is very useful. The power reserve is just fine too nobody needs more for a time only watch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

A white-dialed Exp 1 would be a killer

I think this is possible and potentially one of the reasons the white dial OP was discontinued. That said, not holding my breath.
