Good afternoon gang,

Just thought I'd share my new pick-up. 214270 Explorer I that I got from Preston's in Leeds (UK). John, the salesman, is a top guy so I'd recommend anyone from the surrounding area to head there for your Rolex needs. I changed from Goldsmiths after not getting the sales experience that I would have expected since buying 6 Rolex's from them.

I also got a bottle of champers and Rolex aftershave (pictured) with one of my first buys from them. Top guys.

Congratulations Mike! The Explorer is such a great piece and one that I am constantly drawn back to time and time again. Glad to hear that your buying experience was top notch. Enjoy it and wear the heck out of it!

eleven11prints · 17 June 2019, 10:35 PM

Thanks! Great piece. I had one previously and sold it, so I guess I must like it still.

Congrats on the Explorer I. I've yet to receive a gift, so it's nice to see it still happens.

schoolboy · 17 June 2019, 10:42 PM

Congrats!

That huge crown sitting on the warranty card is cool too

Art 1 · 17 June 2019, 10:43 PM

Nice one.

sinkholeninja · 17 June 2019, 10:58 PM

Congrats mate! I’ve had mine for a week now and I love everything about this watch. It’s a perfect, no-nonsense piece that checks all the boxes.

Earnyourturns · 17 June 2019, 11:08 PM

What does the aftershave smell like?

harvey · 17 June 2019, 11:16 PM

Congrats Mike on a timeless classic!

Out of interest what other references do you have in your collection? And why pick up the Explorer now?

travisb · 17 June 2019, 11:16 PM

Nice pic and a great watch! Congrats!

SemperFi · 17 June 2019, 11:41 PM

Congratulations Mike!

Enjoy it in the best of health.

This is the big question here... Indeed, what does it smell like?

Surprisingly not too bad, but I'm a bit of a Tom Ford addict. It will do for props!

I have;

116610LN
116610LV
116503
116710BLNR
and of course, the 214270.

I got the explorer because I love how it looks on the Oysterflex, which I have on my sub date. I intend to change them up when I have time. I've had the Exp 1 previously, it was the one without luminous numerals.

harvey · 18 June 2019, 01:42 AM

Mike you have a lovely collection.

Can we see the sub on OF? I’ve been thinking of doing this with my sub. Did you use endlinks? Nice explorer.

Smartyendlinks.com. Get the Daytona ones, sub can be troublesome.

Oldfellow · 18 June 2019, 08:21 AM

Congratulations, this was my first Rolex and is still very special to me.
A great all rounder, and will compliment your fine collection.

Odie-r · 18 June 2019, 08:23 AM

Classic choice. Congrats!

kelv_w · 18 June 2019, 08:57 AM

Congrats bro! I'll definitely give Preston's a try in future if I were to get any more Rolex

I've had enough of Goldsmiths now after given the runaround
