Plaxplorer or Explatinum??

One day I hope Rolex releases a platinum Explorer; 36mm, integrated clasp oyster bracelet. But what do I call it when I imagine it??

Plaxplorer?

Explatinum?

Splatsplorer???

Help!

I see. The explorer could thus cash out and optimize his tent?

Perhaps bargain with the big chief of the hostile natives after convincing him that the watch is platinum? At spear-point??
