No pics, but I tried it on recently, it looks and feels great! Also love the new case size and clasp!

such a nice looking watch, but I wonder if at $6200 it is just priced a bit too high. I don't know, since the price change maybe they just all seem incorrectly priced?

First post on forum, just registered a moment ago, so I apologize in advance for not having signatures, etc. set up. Haven't figured that out yet.
I got my first Rolex, the Explorer 1 214270 in late April from an AD in MN. I really can't believe this thing is running dead on after a month. +1 in 30 days. Not kidding. Set it once to time standard and have wound once a week since. Unbelievable. I have looked at the forum enough to know that people like to know serial numbers--this one a VS. OK, first post accomplished--hope it passes muster. Thanks. |

Forgot to mention, I luckily got in prior to US price increase. By two weeks. $5725 list, got for less. Now priced at $6200 list. Peronally, I like the clean lines, simplicity, elegance of this watch. I am sure I am in minority, but would rather have this at $5400 than a new SUB at $7500 or more. One man's opinion.

Congrats, evanvito. Did you seriously consider other Rolex models, or was it EXP 1 versus other brands?
