It's just one of those watches that grows on you more and more. I have a Sub date, GMT Coke and a DJ and I have worn the Sub once in the last year and the others are in my safe or on my sons wrist.

It just does the job and looks fantastic.
Totally agree. I've been through pretty much every steel professional Rolex in the last five years. After getting my Explorer it makes me wonder why I bother with any other watches. It's so darn clean, classic and handsome. I marvel all the time about how perfect it is.

Excellent review, I hope they don’t make any crazy size changes to this.

Lovely review and couldn't agree more, it's so comfortable and lightweight that you wouldn't even know it's there.

I am afraid it's not going to make me excited to put it on my wrist!
I think you have to cycle through a bunch of hot models to truly appreciate the Explorer. When you are ready for it, you'll NEVER regret it. I never tire of looking at this watch. To me, it's the best watch ever made. I'm partial to the mk2 39mm, but any Explorer is cool.
