Rolex Explorer

[diablodavs]

Morning all, anybody got a rolex explorer? if so would you recommend? any pics?

Not sure if your preference is for the Explorer I or II model.

I have the 39mm version Explorer I and I love it.

I find it wears well with either a suit or the jeans/teashirt combo. It is a nice size and very comfortable to wear being nicely balanced and weighted, in fact sometimes I forget I am wearing it (the same cannot be said for my Seamaster, which I also love btw). Its looks are simple, elegant, and are complemented by a very nice bracelet.

If you are considering the Explorer II, I would suggest at the very least trying on an Explorer I, if for nothing else but to rule it out.

I've got the Explorer II. Nice watch. A bit sportier looking compared to the 1st one. Both nice watches. I wouldn't mind an Explorer I at some point.

I spent a lot of time researching this purchase and ended
up following the many recommendations from this very site.
Dominic Hackett of Hackett watches fame and a member
of this forum sourced one for me at a very good discount and
arranged for it to be couriered over to me in Ireland. A true gent
and thoroughly nice bloke.
