Look what I brought home
A shiny (and matte) new Explorer! Sorry for the terrible picture but be assured: this watch is superb. So good to see this back at 36mm. ...
Congratulations! Lucky you...
So how does it wear? Compared to the older 36mm?? Enjoy.... you have my envy...haha. 36mm is the perfect size for this watch.....
Wears beautifully.
Has a slight but definite chunkiness compared to the older 36mm that I, for one, appreciate--that, plus the heavier and smoother modern bracelet make it feel a little more prominent on the wrist than a 114270, which I'm preferring. (Don't get me wrong: it...
Congratulations!
I am “On the List” for one . I will believe it when I see it! So happy they are making an Explorer in 36mm. Can’t wait to see one on my wrist! Enjoy!
Thanks! I did not think this would happen so quickly
Many thanks to my friends at the boutique!
Thanks! It certainly does.
Looks a little bigger in that picture than it really seems, though.
Awesome. 36 mm explorer is the perfect GADA modern rolex
Congratulation. Wear it in good health. Please post your impression of the AR coating on this watch.
It is chock full of GADAness
This was never going to be my only watch, but it feel so obviously ready to accompany me ANYWHERE I want to go doing ANYTHING I might want to do, that I see how it could be. As for the AR: if they hadn't told me it had AR coating, I never would have guess...
I would be keen to hear about the bracelet too
The increased tapering should be interesting. The new Speedmaster is certainly quite drastic on that front
Taper is great
19mm at the lugs to 14mm at the clasp. Interestingly, I *don't* think the taper looks that drastic. I would think that 19->14 would look more radical than this does.
Great fit.
Looks fantastic. I’ve a smaller wrist and was hoping to get one. May I ask your wrist size?
Thanks! 16cm
But this watch could be worn with confidence and security on a wrist as small as... I dunno, pretty small (I think it looks a little bigger on me in this photo than in reality.)
Amazing piece I am starting to think about it even though I never the intention to another rolex thi
I was wondering if anyone would know if we could fit a oyster polished steel bracelet on it ? Kev
Just got mine too… smaller than initial expectations … especially as my wife wears the 36mm OP
But I still love it and it was one watch that got me started into my horological journey 25 years ago
Like many Explorer fans, I'm not a huge Rolex fan in general
If you're like me, this watch is the modern Rolex for you.
