seems like the 114270 is a seldom talked-about watch here.......

haha.....so to arouse a little interest in this handsome watch, here's a picture of this marvellous piece.......

Fantastic picture this just a scan of his much older brother the 1016.

Simple, yet very classy watch!

Are they the same size as a Datejust or an Air King?

nko51 · 16 March 2007, 12:15 AM

Yes, very nice Rolex watch!

watchnut · 16 March 2007, 12:43 AM

Beautiful watch! Lately I've really started to prefer the smooth bezel over the fluted on datejusts etc. Also arabic numerals. This watch has it all!

bwalkerVintage · 16 March 2007, 01:12 AM

Looks great, I would love to have one.

davor · 16 March 2007, 01:18 AM

after the SD and Subby my favourite watch....great

puffnmo · 16 March 2007, 01:35 AM

Along w/ Hotrod, I would love to know if this watch is 36mm or 40mm. In the pic it looks like the same size as the DJ, but does anybody know for sure?

Beautiful pix. Great watch. Cheers, Larry.

ohlins · 16 March 2007, 02:52 AM

36mm....

eudiam · 16 March 2007, 03:09 AM

the cleanest cut..... love it. imagine it @ 40 mm

JJ Irani · 16 March 2007, 03:12 AM

Beauty!!

WES · 16 March 2007, 04:33 AM

It's takes a little while to get used to 36mm after wearing the 40mm sport models, Subs, Yachtys and the like, but not long!

Agree 100%,at 40mm it would be awesome !! Same for the DJs.Less than 40mm is just to small for my wrist.Otherwise,tough,yet,elegant design ...

hahaha...this is the watch I'm looking for "Explorer 1"

Tommer · 16 March 2007, 10:28 AM

very nice watch, thanks for posting it

Mr. K · 16 March 2007, 11:52 AM

EXP I, nice watch! I love mine. I like the size as is. I wonder if they will one day move to the new DJ case for this watch. I would guess one day they will, with new bracelet and everything.

I just think it might look funny if they do. But you never know.

The way Rolex works, that change would not be for at least another 7 to 10 years.

Mr. K · 16 March 2007, 05:06 PM

Long read but very good.

Thought it would fit well in this post.

A lot of people don't like the Air King it seems because it too has the narrower bracelet.

I don't know, for diversity in your collection and options on your wrist I like to have one with a more narrow bracelet.

Beautiful watch you have there.
