Here you are...
My wife's 1016 with my 6610... Did I already mention that I'm an Explorer Big Fan? Best, Nicolas....
Thx Nico, i shall not ask you to explain what is the difference between..
...the 1016 and the 6610, other than production units, year, the appearance on the dial, and maybe minor change to the movement? Of course it would be my pleasure to read and to learn if it is your pleasure to inform and guide Thanks in advance, Nico. I s...
There are several differences...
The 6610 always comes with a Swiss dial, which is not the case on the 1016. The 6610 has a lollipop second hand. The case is a bit smaller on the 6610 ( 1 mm less, but I have to check ). The movement of the 6610 is not hacking, while, on the 1016, it is h...
Gracias, Nico...6610 is earlier than 1016 in birthdate, thus..
..1016 was improved with a hacking seconds and other features perhaps. So we can say 6610 is even rarer than 1016 but do you prefer the 1016 over the 6610?

I am wearing it at this moment....
Old pics though And I must admit, this is the watch enjoying the most wrist-time ever since I got them. Ed...
Great, Edward, i am also wearing mine as i type this.
Always a pleasure to see one, thanx for sharing. Just earlier today, i was at the office and a client walked over and asked "hey, nice Rolex, but why didn't you get a larger one, since they have 40mm Submariners..." and stuff, and i just told him, look......
nato makes explorer looks smaller bcos of the 36mm case but...
..looks fine on the Sub.
5504, Ed?
Help me a bit, as I don't remember well, is it a 5504? Superb, my friend. If things go well for me, I may well complete my " Explo " thema with one, too. Best, Nicolas.
Not currently wearing mine but here are some pics....

I keep saying to myself that I should get myself one
It is a great watch. Best regards, George
Amongst its siblings such as...
..Subs, YMs, GMTs, and even Datejust, the Explorer I has enjoyed a low-key success and not much of a mass appeal IMO... it takes a few to appreciate the beautiful simplicity of it... especially the vintage Explorers, and comparing to vintage Subs, one get...
