TRF Explorer I Club Thread

We have threads for every other model it seems other than the legendary Explorer. Sorry, this isn't for the Explorer II as I believe there already is a thread for that model.

Let's see them. Modern, vintage, if you got them, show them............

Go for it! Can’t go wrong unless it’ll bother you that you’ll stop wearing your other watches...

Most underrated sport Rolex IMO. A great watch that's less common than the other sport models....
