The main way is to open the caseback and see if the gears are colored.

I never owned an explorer but from what I understand they use the same movement as a GMT II so therefore Hour hand should be on the bottom. Someone correct me if Im wrong. I just looked at my GMT II C and Non Ceramic pics (previous watches I owned), hour hand was on the bottom.

The good news is that you don't have to ship it back to Switzerland to be serviced. China will do.

Being that your brother gave you such an awesome gift, do you happen to have the box and paper with you?
Post a picture of those.

Tbh I think all these posts and stories are just people who have bought fakes and just wondering would people be able to tell the difference. I've actually never seen a fake Rolex that has been done really well to look like a real one that can't be told apart...
