People say that there aren't too many Explorer references

What they forget is that there are damn near infinite variations in all those references! I now have the 214270 "Mark II", 114270, and a "frog-foot" matte dial 1016. That only leaves...let's see... 6098 6298 non-3-6-9 white dial 6298 non-3-6-9 black dial

Thanks for your feedback on the SD 50th Anniversary, my friend, and for your kind words, too.

I agree on the 16520. And will probably add a black dialed one. In the Neo vintage world, A nice 16750 / 16760 is in my list, as well as a 16700 / 16710. Explorers? I am looking for a 16550 Black Rail Dial, but finding one in great condition is more chall

The post1966 selection is a complement of the pre 1966 selection.

There are indisputable must have in your selections, the names being GMT MASTER, Submariner / Seadweller, Milgauss, Expolrer and Daytona. It is impossible for me to give only three references, while I am able to give four or five. For example, I agree wit

Rolex Explorer II 16570. Simple pleasure of life.

You have some glorious references when it comes to the Explorer, the 6610, the 1655 and the 16550. You can add the 6350 waffle dial in the list, for sure. But the most common one doesn't lack charm. And won't lead you to sell the house. Here is the 16570,

This is my opinion too about this reference .....

Ok, it's not a 6350 waffle, but it's always a milestone in the Explorer world. If I can add my little contribution on a wild croc strap, lollypop second hand of course.

All Explorers are cool but the early ones the best

6150, 6350, 6610 and 1016. But what makes your 6610 is the white seconds hand with the lollipop dot. They only made those on ref. 6610 and for a short time only. My favorite Explorer of all is the unique 6610 with the white "test dial" used by the dial ma

Rolex Explorer 6610. The most sensual Explorer?

I only see one which can beat it, the 6350 Explorer waffle dial. Or a 6610 Red. So we are not far from the top of the top, with this 6610, which, luckily, is mine... The combination of the case ( 36 mm is not too small for my wrist ), the lollipop second

Rolex 6350 Explorer Serpico Y Laino.

Credit picture, I ma not sure: Roberto? But one thing I am sure of is that this reference drives me crazy, especially when it comes in such a beautiful condition and, cherry on the cake, and a big one, the name of Serpico Y Laino. You will also notice the
