Lucky enough to have a fair few watches. Everyday and holiday watch ( most worn ) sinn U1. This is one tough watch. Great lume, big and east to read. Next Speedmaster
On black Omega deployment. Can wear this on any occasion. If I had to choose only 2 I would be most upset ! These 2 would be high on my list.
Regards Paul.
I can't see a single one of these marks when I look to check the time. If I look closely and angle it to catch the light then I can see the knocks to the edge of the bezel, but they're minuscule to the naked eye. It's very easy to live with, especially weighed against the pleasure of wearing a watch I love all the time.Originally Posted by PhilT
On the plus side, it's a very easy to bezel to polish at service time, unlike some other models.
I have been developing a bit of a soft spot for the Explorer in recent years. Must be my age!

It’s a great all rounder and at 39mm was almost a perfect size for me
However it was just too similar to my Railmaster so I sold it which I kind of regret now looking at these pics again

Wearing mine as I type it, perfect allrounder.

It's not an 'all-rounder' in the way a dive watch can be.
Its a blingy field watch, and in terms of field watches I'd prefer a Damasko. If you went more the sports watch angle I'd go a GS ahead of the Explorer - more refined, better looking, for less money.

I have to say, my 15200 was my one-watch solution but has been replaced 95% of the time with the IWC 3521. Even though its gold hands on white dial, its extremely legible, more so than the Rolex, even though the IWC is a a bit more 'sporty' or less formal than the Rolex.
What a great thread! I am looking for an exit watch when I retire in a couple of years, and guess what I have in mind. You got it, an Explorer!

Hadn't seen one of those before,very nice.
That's a fine watch and not to overstated.
An exit watch!Never thought of it quite like that...

Good people the Swiss, full of dignity.An exit watch!
It's the only Rolex I lust after. The collective 'one day' list is short, but this is near the top.Had mine for about a year and a half now and am still loving it, it has a fair few scratches and dings through general wear but i don't care as i don't ever see myself getting rid of it. It's just so elegant and under the radar. One thing I've never quite understood is why they didn't use an applied logo like in the oyster perpetuals instead of a painted one.

Ah, le mot juste.
Life doesn't suddenly grind to a halt when you retire. You may well have another 20-30 years to enjoy. So why all the 'exit' stuff? Plenty of watches to explore and wear.
