EXPLORER text back to 12

[chloebear]

It took me a few minutes - after the shock of seeing the size change went back to 36mm - to realize the EXPLORER text moved back to the 12 o'clock position! That's a subtle nod to the old Explorers for sure.

I like the Explorer text at the bottom on the 39 better - feels more balanced to me

I do too.

Rolex should have kept the longer 214270 hands and just used them on the new model. They could have called it the "long hands model" for a few years, then corrected it 5 years down the road.
