Recently I was lucky to grab the Exp 39mm at the very last moment (probably) and paying an acceptable price. Can't imagine being more happy with such classic time piece.

Is here anyone else who prefers this disconnected one over the new 36mm Explorer?

One more shot...

Congratulations!!! Great proportions! I love the white gold numerals.

Congratulations - lovely watch. The Mk1 prices still aren’t too bad at the moment but the Mk2 prices seem to be really climbing.

LA_LEC · 14 May 2021, 08:44 AM

Congrats on owning a great watch! I bought one a week ago so it’s been on my wrist a week and I look forward to wearing it every day. I’ve worn Subs for over a decade and can tell you that I love this watch as much if not more!

Jster · 14 May 2021, 12:33 PM

Congrats. The Exp 39 is fantastic. I much prefer it over the 36 versions.

Mk2 on fire now that it’s discontinued and shorter run than mk1.

Yes, it’s not just the shorter run time wise but also a year of that run was during Covid where there will have been very little production.

Congratulations. I like the 36 mm and the 39 mm. I was hoping for a true 41 mm but there is always the future.

GST15 · 14 May 2021, 09:13 PM

Congratulations! I too prefer the 39 to the 36

I casually mentioned to my wife, who is oblivious to my watches, that my MKII had probably almost doubled in value over the last few months. It backfired...she was still shocked and thought I was insane to have spent $6000 on a watch. I better go hide some others.

Congratulations!
On the second picture, the 3, 6, and 9 in white gold really stands out and really gives another dimension to this watch, love it.

cgaites · 15 May 2021, 02:42 AM

Beautiful watch. Personally, being slight of wrist, I prefer the 36mm version. That said, really wish Rolex would have continued offering the 39mm version for those who prefer the larger size. Looks great in either incarnation.

jatco · 15 May 2021, 02:58 AM

Congrats.
Great looking watch.. Enjoy-

SemperFi · 15 May 2021, 03:01 AM

The Explorer was my first and my favorite. I think the 39mm hits the sweet spot.
Congratulations Marek!

Bob's Watches is asking as much for a 214270 mk2 as they are for a 114060. In some instances more. Kind of nuts.

A_Milli · 15 May 2021, 04:04 AM

Big congratulations

Marshalmatters · 15 May 2021, 05:24 AM

Congrats, Nice piece

LC23 · 15 May 2021, 05:59 AM

dope I want this as a daily wear

copperjohn · 15 May 2021, 06:35 AM

Looks nice. 39mm was perfect for me too.

Great point. Hadn’t considered that.

My breakthrough was when my collection value was 2X the value of my vehicle!

Time to upgrade your vehicle

alweisenberger · 17 May 2021, 07:45 AM

I'd be curious if an AD would put on mk2 hands on that?

Good one, beautiful watch
