It's pretty sweet. Can't compare it to anything since it's the only one I own. It got here quick too. Shipping was free in the US. I ordered it on Monday from Corvus and it was here Thursday in my mailbox!!!

Love the watch but I don't like it on the NATO. IMHO the Sub is the only Rolex that suits a NATO

I hear ya. I do like the Explorer's ability to be a little dressier when it is on it's bracelet. I've put the NATO on my PO (more sub-like) and it does play better....

It might be just me but I can't understand why changing the strap on the Explorer, for me, it looks best with it's original oyster bracelet...

I think eventually I'll put mine on a Nato, but for now it stays on a carbon.
