Icon20 Explorer 11 - 16570 old one!!
Squeaking to Rolex Geneva tooday, demand for the old explorer has gone through the roof. Especially from female Rolex lovers!!

Think the white dial variant looks totally sexy on a woman's wrist, as my girlfriend Lissa wears one, she now want to wear a yachtmaster as well !!

My Girlfriend likes to wear my Explorer II, and I must admit, it really suits her! It's one of the reasons I'm wary of buying another Rolex, as I'll never see my beloved Polar again!

Dont discontinued models always enjoy a price bump when a new revision is imminent?

I want the white 42 ... but 2 Expys??? Not sure ... I'd like more variety, though I absolutely love my current. She is indeed a supermodel!

Awesome! I ordered a couple NATOs for mine ... want to give that a try, see how it goes. I got the OD Green and the MI6. Will post pics when I receive them.

For whoever is interested, I posted some (I think) cool pictures of mine here the other day:

Never thought about swapping or changing mine, always thought it was a classic!

I heard that they were not discontinuing it now...or at least YET.

I was hoping they were but I hear NO now. Anyone?
