There’s people in this world who have lived their entire watch collecting lives in the “big watch trend”

There is no 36mm Explorer.

There is only a 126203 with an explorer dial ?

I'm not all that smart, but isn't the Explorer just an Oyster perpetual with big numbers? Obviously that's the case now.

Don't worry. Next year, they'll use OP41 case and release Explorer 41. It's so obvious now!

Fair enough.
But what about those of us who have larger wrists where a 36mm watch looks rather tiny?
If we want to wear an Explorer style of watch, we have to more or less look to Omega for an equivalent as Rolex has completely abandoned us

Oh well, I suppose one has to look on the bright side.
There's always the hunt for second hand watches and the movement has a solid track record

7 months ago they just made the sub 1mm bigger at 41mm. If they didn’t do that I’d agree Thats it’s over

Looks like. It's gone from the website.

Never thought we’d see a 36mm again. Fantastic!

Right? Never, ever thought we would see the 36 mm Explorer return. Sign me up.

Great for the enthusiasts, not so much for the general public. Which is good for the enthusiasts again, since the demand may be not as high. I want it! :)

Fingers crossed. I have a very small writ, only 6 inches the 39 would look stupid on me. I'm praying I can get the 36mm.

I may be mistaken but I believe the TT is gloss and the SS is matte.

I hope you're right. I can only find that the two tone is lacquer, which implies glossy. I can't find anything on the steel version. I am seeing my AD later today. By fluke I made a appointment to see him (I didn't realize today was the big release day) so I will ask.

Both versions are gloss dials

Looks like glossy dial

iwantarollie777 · 7 April 2021, 09:08 PM

So happy! I was really sus yesterday because my name was taken off an AD waitlist for the Explorer 1 suddenly as they ‘could no longer guarantee supply’ in Sydney.

The gold explorer looks cool also

polarinda · 7 April 2021, 09:14 PM

seems like the new 3,6,9 are of different size compared to the 114270's.

Fantastic return to the 36mm! Love the SS, not a massive fan of the TT.

gnuyork · 7 April 2021, 09:26 PM

Didn't see that coming. I honestly don't know what to think.

If it's the same as the DJ 36 case, it will wear small, even on my small wrists... but I'm sure this is what the fans of the Explorer want. Personally I wanted a 114270 until I tried on the recent DJ36, then I made up my mind for the 39 Exp and have been waiting since Sept. 1st. And now...

I still want try one on though. I might change my tune.

And a two tone - why?? ugh. That's so... modern Rolex.
