got my 114270 and I still cant stop looking at it. I keep catching myself staring at its simple and symetrical dial.

BruceS · 5 November 2005, 12:40 PM

I've had mine less than a week, but it hasn't left my wrist except to shower. I stare at it all the time. Gotta be my fav Rollie I've had so far :)

RogerF · 5 November 2005, 12:50 PM

Isnt it a great watch? It does not wear small at all, the haters out there just dont get it.

How could you not love as face like this?

But for tonight when I go out I must take one of these, I must force myself to give Mr explorer a night off.

BruceS · 5 November 2005, 12:53 PM

Yes it does have a beautiful face!

Atl · 5 November 2005, 12:55 PM

I love that watch too! I believe it will be my next, how much are they now?
So simple, no mag. window, just perfect! Another model I don't see often.
With all those watches, do you use a winder? I try, but can't seem to remember to keep them all wound.

BruceS · 5 November 2005, 12:59 PM

I think list is $3750 us now. Not sure if you were talking to me about a winder, but I've only got one space out of 7 being used now!

RogerF · 5 November 2005, 01:06 PM

If you are refering to me I use a cheapie $150cdn 4 watch winder. Its worked flawlessly for over a year. Its a little noisey but I dont really mind it as it doesnt sit next to my bed LOL

heres an old pic

The gold VC is gone, the Seamaster is gone and I just gave the Blackmonster to a good friend of mine.

I have to tell you guys, since I have gotten so deep into Pannies, that dial looks more beautiful than ever. What an absolute knockout!!!

Rockrolex · 5 November 2005, 01:36 PM

Roger, that must be an old picture. You're missing the GMT.

Hence why I heres an said old pic before posting the pic.

Its missing the GMT2 and the Exp1.

dman · 5 November 2005, 02:18 PM

Excuse my Father Ed please. He is really old and quite frankly he is losing it. That is why I suggested he sign over his powers of attorney to me.

The Explorer is indeed an exquisite watch....just wondering how stunning it would be in 40 mm dia.

BruceS · 5 November 2005, 02:24 PM

Damn nice I reckon, but I like it the way it is!

Hmmm....what's that old saying: SIZE MATTERS!!

dman · 5 November 2005, 02:26 PM

I do like the fact that they don't F around with the design, they would be like every other company. I like the bigger watches, that is what Panerai is for and I like my bracelet watches in 40mm, that is what Rolex is for.

BruceS · 5 November 2005, 02:26 PM

I don't usually wear those on my wrist JJ
