I have my 2016 Exp1 for a month now and I like it more and more. Today I tried on some Datejusts and they are very nice. But the stainless steel Explorer somehow really does it for me.

214270 vs 114270 lume

Can anyone post a pic comparing the 214270 and 114270 lume? I don't use an alarm clock and count on my wristwatch at night.

I recently bought a 114270, which I am trying on instead of my trusty 230.50 Non AC Seamaster -- which would shine bright all through the night. A bonus would be a shot of the 214270 vs a sword hands SMP.

Thanks!!

Not in the least a staged photo set while refilling oil in my W124

Mine is starting to gain some character marks on the bezel.

That makes sense, as I have been rocking this watch in heavy rotation since I picked it up in December. Love it!

I still like this photo, even though its for the old version. A great model, and still my favorite:

I was at Mayors at the St. Johns Town Center in Florida this morning. They had "just sold" their Explorer, so I put a down deposit on one, and it should come in by Tuesday. Saw a lot of different Rolex models, but did not want or need a watch with complications. Did see a white Explorer II, and a black one two. Didn't see any GMT's. The cost for the Explorer was not much more than what I would have paid an in-state Trusted Seller, and Mayors covers the repairs after the Rolex warranty expires for an additional five years.

I will still keep, and wear, my 15 year old Fossil Titanium watch I think. (The watch had a 11 year warranty.) It is a well traveled watch. I hope to enjoy the Explorer as much.

Snapped this pic on a rock climbing trip. The approach was up a tributary of the Buffalo River in NW Arkansas with a lot of natural springs and waterfalls. Inaugural climbing trip with the new Exp. Great timepiece!
