Icon10 Incoming!! About to join the Explorer Club!
I am a one watch kind of guy so I really bond with my watch. I have worn a Submariner for years but sold it (huge mistake - never do it).

I am ready for something else.

The only other Rolex that ever caught my eye was the Explorer 1. The simplicity has an almost Zen like quality to it. Even at 39 mm it's a visual masterpiece - IMHO

Arriving tomorrow - pics to follow at that time!!!

New from the AD? Surprised they’re still shipping 39mm Explorers!

Congratulations!

Nothing wrong with being a one watch person let’s you enjoy the watch even more especially if worn everyday as intended.

I ordered an Explorer 39mm at the start of this year. It arrived 1st of March. I love it. My friends think I should be disappointed that soon after it arrived it became a discontinued model. I’m just delighted I bought it just in time.
I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.
