Incoming! The most underrated Rolex?

Definitely not underrated. Has more than a cult following and have personally seen being worn by everyday people in public.

Congratulations on a fantastic watch

For some like me the 42mm is just too large.

Congrats!

On paper 42mm may seem a watch for over 7inch wrists but I suggest finding one and trying to the people who like the look but worry about the size, you may be surprised. The new reference wears a lot smaller than the previous one interestingly, most probably due to change in end link and lugs. Overall fantastic package and one of the last watches in the catalog which is closer to being a tool watch than to being a luxury watch.

Very nice. I am partial to this particular reference. Is it true that the black dial is now glossy?

I occasionally think about trading my 39mm Explorer MKII for this, but in the end I know I’ll miss the EXP1 too much. Sure would love to have it though. Great watch. Congrats.

Not at all underrated, IMO. Sure, subs, GMT's, and Daytona's are the hot ticket, but this one will always have a following of those who appreciate it for what it is - a great watch.

Congrats!

Yes it’s glossy on the new reference 226570.
