Explorer is a fantastic watch. I had the 39mm mk2. But, for me, the dial seemed very big. A lot of blank space on it. I now have a 36mm which, for me, seems perfect. Get one.

Less is more.
The explorer is my first and only, yet.

I never used to think about the Explorer then something triggered in me a few months ago and had to have one. I got it a few weeks ago and it's perfect. So easy to tell time on and can be casual or dress.

For me, it’s simple, doesn’t pretend to be a “Rolex” in a shiny sort of way, is elegant, is legible, does one thing and one thing only. It’s a watch for all seasons, all occasions, all professions, and all circumstances. And with no fuss. It’s about as pure a Rolex as one can get.

I thank the forum for the advice and opinions. I have now got my name down for one as it seems a prefect watch for all occasions whether worn with a suit or t shirt in the summer and so versatile but holding a degree of class.
One of the nicest SS professorial watches violable by the sounds of things?

Really wanted to love the 114270. My wrist is 6.75 inch so thought it would be OK. But I also have a flat upper wrist shape and the 36mm looked way too small.
I tried the 39mm at the AD and felt the dial was too large and bezel too thick.

It really didn't give me the go anywhere, do anything vibe.

For smalls wrists are the Explorer 36 mm, for big wrists take the 39 mm
Both are incredibles watches

I love that this watch has such a significant following.

Its always caught my eye but has more recently moved to the top of my list... Hope you can get your hands on one soon!

My day-to-day wear is my SubC, but for up in the hills, in the gym or for dress-up ocassions it’s my Exp 39mm Mk.1, my first Rolex.

I like the Explorer because it’s fits snug to the wrist, therefore comfortable and well below radar.

Its versatile! It’s a gem!

Purchase sooner rather than later if you love the watch , prices are only going one way.
