Hello
I am new to the forum and I have the opportunity to acquire a Rolex Explorer from an acquaintance. I've only seen the clock once and it looks good. I have a single photo of the wristwatch and although I searched for references I have not managed to find more detailed information about the piece.
I share this photo with the hope that someone can tell me something about the watch and its value to help me decide if it's worth it.
Very grateful for the help you can give me.

Walk away my friend.

Looks like a fake to me, or at the very best a replacement dial.

Other than very early editions, and a very rare run, no Explorer appears to have had the depth rating on the dial, and the only pic of one I have ever seen had it at the top, not the bottom of the dial.

Looking at over seven hundred for sale over several sites, I can see none with 4 lines of text in the lower dial, none with a red inverted triangle at the 12, none with Explorer in red at the bottom of the dial.

That said, it could be super rare and worth a fortune!

Have you removed the bracelet and looked at the serial number and model number, which will be engraved at the 6 o’Clock and 12 o’clock positions respectively? This could help you either identify it for sure, or at least have more info to post here for further insight.

Good reason you can’t find it.
Fake.
