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

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! :)

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

I really liked the 39 but I'm cool with 36. It looks classic. However, I don't understand a TT 36 Explorer.

I own a 36mm 114270 but prefer the 39mm version. I thought that was ideal for this reference.

I'm with you here Flavio, just dont think the TT Explorer is quite right.

I’m happy with the move to 36mm. I like two-tone watches, but something about this Exp1 Two-tone looks off. Maybe it’s because I was never a fan of the smooth bezel two-tone Datejusts?

Don’t get me wrong, I like it, but it’s off. I can’t put my finger on it.

now we are going to hear everyone who preferred the 36mm when it was not in production praise the 39mm .. but for sure the explorer of those tones is horrible ... and the explorer II makes no sense ... Tudor is hitting more high on design

There is no 36mm Explorer.


There is only a 126203 with an explorer dial ?
