Well I just dropped my 3 month old Explorer from the top of my bathroom medicine cabinet onto the tile floor (about 6 1/2’) 🤦🏻‍♂️. It hit the ground pretty hard on its side. The bracelet lock popped off, which I managed to get back on (has a thick spring bar). Aside from that just about a 5 mm scratch on the case. The watch is running but I’m guessing I should send it in to Rolex to get checked out??? Or if it’s running within spec’s time should I just leave it? What shot the scratch to…

I personally am ok with it as far as comfort and how it looks from my point of view while wearing it. Just curious as to what people think about it in my wrist. I went into the Rolex AD in Mykonos Greece and the salesperson was telling me that the Explorer 36 on my wrist was way too small for me, even though he didn’t have anything to sell me as all his watches were “exhibition” only. So what are your thoughts on tours 36 size on my wrist? Too small?

I own the 36mm Explorer 124270. I m so used to 40mm + watches that I’m still getting used to the smaller size. Am I just being insecure about it being small, or does it look ? Otherwise today I went into a dealer today and have an opportunity to trade up to a line new 40mm Explorer 1 or add some money and get the milgauss, but then I’d be into a whole different watch altogether.

I just picked this up on Tuesday. It’s a 2022 with cards. I was on the fence about trading my new 3861 Speedmaster for this Explorer. I was offered this or a ‘25 black OP for my speedy plus cash. I was worried about the size, the fact that it wasn’t new, blah blah blah. Long story short so my fears were unfounded. I have a 7 inch wrist and this watch although smaller than I’m used to, just hits a sweet spot. The dial is stunning. I don’t know why everyone considers this so “under the radar”…

I’m being offered a 2022 Explorer 1 with warranty card or a brand new 2025 oyster perpetual 36mm black dial with box and card for $250 more than the Explorer. I’m undecided. I would lean toward the Explorer if it were brand new but I’m thinking even though I like the Explorer more that I should get the op which is very similarbeing but it’s brand new and any wear would be mine and mine only. What are your thoughts?
