The Explorer is one of my favorites ... 1016 and 114270 ...

We had a legendary thread about the watch in the German section of the forum - time to bring it up again :D

Cool shot... :gut: :gut: :gut:

I really love the clean looks of the dial.

Hey,

here you go:

I used to have one, it was my first Rolex but I sold it in favor of the Sub which I thought felt better on the wrist. And I never looked back...

I do understand, though, that many people like the Explorer because of its clean looks. I´d love to see a new Explorer with a wider case (same diameter, though, more like the DJ-cases) and a real bracelet and clasp.

Take care-
Nico

Ex1 - classic understatement.
It fits perfectly for every event:

The size of the Ex1 is woman style - so the Ex1 needs to grow to fit on a mans arm. ;)

I'm with you Elmar....I'm more of an Explorer II fan myself. :verneig:

[Gerard]

What can I say...

I do have small wrists.... :D :D :D :D

Then why hesitate...go for it :gut: :D

It's indeed such a beauty...it was supposed to be my first Rolex, until I tried it. Unfortunately it looks ridiculous on my wrist ;( ...bought a SD instead, oh well... ;)

[Bob D]

It was my first Rolex and still one of my favorites, though I also have an Explorer II, white dial.

The first model is truly classic and historically significant. Some of the old Rolex print ads are great to read...I collect those too. :]

Yes it is not "big" but respectable in size for those of us who, as well put on another forum, have "regular" size wrists. :tongue:

OK and real man do wear Lederhosen and drink beer from XXL-glasses.

No !

There is a lot of truth beyond fashion.

It is not necessarily so, that big guys need big watches.

The sense of a watch is: to measure and indicate time and - to be honest - for some of us to show something else.
You may call it: taste or style or understatement, what ever the message may be.

In former times, males tried to scare their enemies by trying to look bigger.
Therefore they pumped up the fur.

Nowadays we do it a little bit more subtle.
Whilst driving big cars, e.g. SUVs ;)
And sometimes may be with having a bigger wrist watch ?

I met a couple of weeks ago a very big swiss watchmaker, nearly 2m high.
He wore an Explorer I with an absolute sovereign attitude.
In my opinion it fitted perfectly.

Its all in the head :op:
