An incoming without the bells and whistles…


Yup, no animals, no superheros, no fizzy drinks. No options: dial, material, size and bezel (though having a two-tone variant ).

A pure tool watch without a fancy nickname that truly goes back to its roots. Happy to be allocated this classic on my birthday.

Congrats and happy birthday. Such a wonderfully simple and understated piece that happens to get so much wrist time when up against fancier more expensive watches. So comfy to wear

Congratulations! Best Rolex in the current collection. But I must say I am biased.

Looks great on you.

And apart from the watch itself, that's the best part about the Explorer - no stupid childish nicknames!

Congrats and happy birthday.
