Explorer 2 - updated collection.

I bought an Explorer 1 a couple of weeks back. I love the concept of it, but could not bond with the 36 mm size. I traded it for this one. Still an Explorer. Great condition. Wears really great.

Just wanted to share…

Thanks - as you say a classic 5-series sports Rolex. Interesting that prices are so much lower comparing the other references. Not as popular it seems.

This one caught my eye a few years ago and I picked one up and I've never regretted it.

Nice one! I just swapped my Milgauss for a 16570 polar as well. Enjoying so far. Definitely a hugely underrated watch. Wears great, classy, and sporty. Congratulations!
