super watch
my brother has the same and he really likes it. timeless design and highly reliable
Thanks Tyo
I really should have gotten one way back when they upgraded it in 2016. The Explorer is probably my favorite modern Rolex reference.

This one’s on my list..
Probably the best proportioned current model steel sports Rolex out there.. at least for me. Great catch! Best, Echi

My first Rolex was Exp 1 with short hands...
