Show your Rolex explorers..
Courtesy of a good friend, I very recently managed to snag a vintage gilt 1016 which I have been looking for a long time, in the right condition..
I'm absolutely delighted with it, and am pretty sure it's going to be on the wrist for a while.
I love to switch up strap option, and would like to see what you feel works best of the Explorers - strap, NATO, good old bracelet?
And of course the pics..

Here's my 14270 on a Beige NATO
For your consideration. I find that it communicates its utilitarian purpose very well in this combo. Best Shawn ...
Thanks Shawn
I do have that same sand coloured NATO and might just give it a try after seeing this.
Congrats bro
But, I've said it and I'll say it again. You're incorrigible! Anyway, here's my not so sexy version. Regards Ian ...
Nothing less sexy about
That Ian! You buying an explorer played a part in my poisoning process so you have a share in the blame!
Super catch, Dylan. Let me welcome yours with mine...
Enjoy, and congratulations for this superb addition. Nicolas ...
I have
Noticed your preference for natos with the 6610. And I can see why. Lovely specimen too, and the white albino second hand is the cherry on the cake.
Great example of a beloved Rolex reference Dylan!...
... The Explorer 1 is a classic, for which I have a special fondness. Tough, reliable, sporty, cool looking is a very niice watch to have on the wrist. I like to wear mine on its original Oyster bracelet. Here is my picture! Enjoy yours in good health! Co...
Thanks Abel
I love it on the bracelet too. Your gilt 1016 has a really lovely patina.
Congrats bro!
I am no vintage expert but I must say this vintage Explorer looks great! Why are you and Ian and also Shawn all poisoning me with your Explorers?!! Arghhhh Cheers Robin
Congrats bro!!
Very privileged to try it today, it wears beautifully indeed. For me, I\'d plump for the bracelet, call me a traditionalist but I like my Rolexes on bracelets
Congrats Bro !

Sincere congrats for your Explo 1016.. It's such a cool but appealing classic..
Here just some greetings from house to house: Explorer 1016, low-key treasure for me Have to say, it looks great on these beige Natos, like Nico\'s, but somehow I mostly prefer its rivited bracelet.. Best & HAGWE, hs ...
Thanks
For the kind words Hs111. Indeed the rivet bracelet seems the most right with it, and the combination Just melts right into your wrist.. Had it on distressed leather strap today. ...
Explorers are sport watches distilled down to their basic essence
No fluff, no fat. My 1973 1016 says hello. ...
I recently joined the Explorer club
A bit of a gamble on the deal, but I really love it. ...
Thanks guys.
I have to admit, I was inspired by this site thanks to Baron's Red Depth post. When I saw the Gold Depth come up, it looked really special. I've only see two others with the same dial. Thanks again.
