Pre- order new explorer

I wonder what happens to the prices of the model with short hands

Will follow the hands' size IMHO. Or may become collectible as dwarf Explorer or something like that.

I suspect that since no one was particularly fond of the short hands, and that I suspect there are quite a lot in circulation, the value won't be going up... more likely the opposite, IMO.

No matter

Love the new one, while the "short" hands never bothered me the non lumed 3 6 and 9 always had me scratching my head. The new dial looks great, should have been like that all along.

Guess the short hands were...short-sighted on Rolex's part.

Nice to see they can "admit" mistakes.

We have the Hulk, Batman, etc. And now we have the Dwarf Explorer. I like it.

Could call it Dora the Explorer, she's pretty short.
