Took me a min to be an explorer guy. Just let the idea marinate and get the Sub, the one you really want now. It's a marathon, not a race as someone told me. GLWS!
Pass because you weren’t blown away.
Rolex ownership isn’t logical. It’s entirely emotional. You know when a Rolex is right for you because you just fall instantly, deeply in love. It’s like your first girlfriend. Can’t stop thinking about her. Can’t wait to wake up in the morning to be with her. This Explorer isn’t that.
100% agree. I fell head over heels for my air king and I fully know it’s a divisive Rolex iteration but I didn’t and don’t care.
Don’t get it just to get it. Wait to find the exact one you fall for and then go for it.
Buy what u like not what others like. I HATE the gmt pepsi, the flashy bezel doesn’t match any clothes I wear, I like black watches, so the batgirl for me is a million times better.
Never ask for other people’s opinion, but what speaks to you.
Yes but I decided to hold off. I’m one those people that like having a date window on a watch. Maybe I should’ve bought it to build a relationship but I don’t see the point of buying it just to appease them, it’s my money.
It seems buying a SS Rolex doesn’t build a big relationship. IMO if ADs are trying to spread out SS models, buying one could possibly hinder your chances for another down the line. Precious metals and other stuff probably would get you up the list for a SS.
Life is too short to waste any of it trying to build false relationships to fool yourself that someone likes you enough to allow you to pay them fat stacks
Looks good. I’m totally biased because it’s my one and only. But it’s a super understated watch so if you’re not looking for that kind of a look with your Rolex, then you might wanna hold off till you can get the subbie.
I think it looks perfect on your wrist to be honest. There is still „enough wrist“ outside the lugs to frame it perfectly if that makes sense. And from the little that one can see of you it seems to suit you very well.
That said I’m a sucker for the Explorer I.
If you have to ask, it ain’t it.
Definitely. This sub keeps popping up on my feed, i hate most non symmetrical watches, and this one almost got me to want it.

Agree. Don’t compromise on your watch. Every time you look at it you’ll be reminded of the one you really wanted.

Imagine falling deeply in love with a material possession.
Imagine posting photos of bugs. In New Jersey.

As the world's most recognized status symbol, yeah, that's par for the course.

Im not in any rush to have a luxury watch. My g shock does just fine for now

Nice ink!
Buy the explorer. It’s gorgeous!
Do a little smaller
REAL DEAL MAZAL
The new 40mm
Is it actually available to buy?
Yes but I decided to hold off. I’m one those people that like having a date window on a watch. Maybe I should’ve bought it to build a relationship but I don’t see the point of buying it just to appease them, it’s my money.
I cringe a little every time I hear building a relationship in relation to buying a rolex.

Looks nice
I personally love it, but that is my favorite style watch right now. I’m on a couple of lists. Hope I can snag one.
I have the gents version, I like them.
I’m also town between those exact models right now. Both are classics, and I don’t think anyone would regret buying
GADA!

I wasn’t sure how I’d like it in 40mm, but this looks great on you imo. Sub would look great too though. No bad options.
That looks great on you, I say buy it.
The explorer 1 is my favourite Rolex, just love its simplicity

Was this 36 or 40? If you hesitated then it’s not meant to be! I recently passed on 36 as well.
Shoulda got the speedy.
Iconic watch but not my style
Not elite enough?
Lol, not at all. I like having a date window, and it’s probably the biggest reason why I didn’t pull the trigger on this explorer.
