Lovin' the Explorer 1!
Sleek, sophisticated and tough as a rock! Here's my Rolex Explorer I, including a mock ad I made from a picture while hiking at Red Rock Canyon.

Hi all,
Delighted to join such a wonderful group. I don't have any photos to hand at present, but must say in the four months I've owned an Explorer, I love it more every time I look at it. A few observations: Because it doesn't look like a Rolex, which was one of the main reasons I was attracted to it, it doesn't draw attention even from those I might've expected to spot it. This I love. It takes a pounding. I wear it for more or less everything, and have only a couple of little bezel scratches for my trouble. It has been swimming in the sea, kayaking, hill walking, rock climbing, travelling, cycling, running, plus the usual gardening, socialising etc! It also draws the curious and ever-strengthening grip of our 8-month old! So far so good. Timekeeping is superb. It consistently runs 1-2 seconds fast a day, which, since it is consistent, makes it utterly reliable. I don't do lateness, so must have a timepiece, other than quartz, that I can rely on. It is without question the most comfortable watch I have ever worn. It fits so snugly and securely. It does not grab at wrist hairs, and the easy link facility is simply fantastic. Pics to follow soon hopefully. Cheers folks! |

Got this a few months ago. I really enjoy its simplicity. It is totally without pretense or affectation. A great and classic watch. |

Exactly. It doesn't get too much love on TRF or other watch forums
( in comparison to the Subs and GMTs and DJs). But IMO, it is THE watch enthusiasts' Rolex for the reasons you mention. It certainly isn't a "look at me I'm wearing a Rolex" Rolex... yet has the history, beauty, and simplicity that makes it special. Quote:
