I've been over at the dark side recently (well, panerai) but am now back in full Rolex mode...so much so that I've got the new 39mm Explorer coming my way next week! To keep me going can people please post pics of theirs!!

Thanks
Mike

looks it Mike...

this is one tried on earlier... didnt tickle my fancy... unfortunately

)

Thanks for the pic Eric. I've noticed people say the dial is matt ashy black, but when I saw it (albeit through a window) it looked thick black, almost glossy. How black is the dial?

What didn't you like about the Explorer?

Sorry I'm on the iPad so no pics to post, but you can see a couple in my other posts. Excellent choice. I've had mine a month and haven't had it off my wrist. I love it.

I don't have any pics to contribute either, unfortunately, but the new Explorer I has quickly become one of my favourites in the line up. A very honest watch

Man...I am still liking the old 36mm better.

The 39mm Explorer is a perfect size. I wish rolex would have made the DJ in 39mm instead of 41mm. I have not yet seen one in person but from the pics posted on the forum the hands do look slightly small for the watch.

Thanks for the pics and links, it does look a very smart watch and I can't wait to get mine in a few days!
