Congrats, I also got my first today... what a time to be alive!!
They get better every time I see them.
A watch for just about any occasion, very nice
Congratulation, enjoy it.
Very good choice. The pre 2016 Explorer 214270 was also my first one. It took me a few days to "get it" but once I did then I really came to appreciate it. I have since sold that on, also had and sold on the current Explorer and now have a 114270.
Congratulations it's a classic enjoy
It will be one of many 😁
Super - and no cyclops (yay!).
Nice one great watch.
I have seen and tempted to get the new Explorer 1 2016 Basel new, never owned a Rolex. I was on the waiting list but came off when I got a pelegos last year.
Not sure why but I think the Explorer is the under the radar, anti bling and classic watch.
Hopefully someone else has bought it and it is no longer where I saw it.
Congrats and enjoy your new toy

And also upon your choice.
The Explorer is a cracking watch and a timeless classic (pun intended) and is also very much on my radar.

If I get a Rolex it will be like yours. Lovely.
My first Rolex was a bi-metal Sub with blue dial. Sold that and got a Sea Dweller. But my under the radar daily is this. I love it’s simple lines.

What made you ultimately choose that one or was it love at first sight.

Beautiful watch. Congrats!
So jealous (in a good way always)
Enjoy it! :)
I tried on loads; Milgauss, Explorer II, Submariner, Datejust and Explorer one in my local Goldsmiths, I only have around a 7.25" wrist and felt that less is more in terms of size, but after owning this for a month now I am loving it even more and finding I am wearing it almost every day. I could not be more chuffed with this. When I saw one come up on Sales Corner at a good price I pulled the trigger without hesitation.Originally Posted by Fredamens
As others have said, it will likely be the first of several and I do think at the opposite end of the spectrum I saw a lovely Sub 114060 (non date ceramic) and do rather fancy one of these too in the not too distant future, I know these aren't the purists choice of Sub but I did really like it.
I would say that at 39mm it wears really well, is classy and understated and to me is a perfect watch. If you even half fancy one I'd say to go for it.
Merry Christmas all.
