Hello there ! well after my post about an exployer 1 i was interested in but without papers but with a recent Rolex service history I popped into the AD and purchased it ....Rolex are the only brand that i am fearful of being landed with a fake or franken watch ! . The fact is though that i am loving 36mm again and the only way to purchase an exployer is secondhand if 36mm is your thing ..nothing wrong with the 39mm but to me compared to the 36mm the proportions are just not quite so perfect ! .
Anyway by a stroke of luck my local AD happened to have one that had been taken in part exchange this is a great local jeweller which has remained family owned and in the same lovely old building for over 200 years . The model 114270 was what i was looking for and the watch had one previous owner a local guy known to the jeweller ,as mentioned the watch had no papers but was sent off by the jeweller to Rolex for a complete service then returned to the jeweller and put in the safe while the owner made up his mind weather to sell it or not ..so it was presented to me with Rolex service receipt and warrantee card , so for me as well as the information about the watch the recent service and warrentee card and especially since it was sent to Rolex by the jeweller authenticates the watch .
So i am a very happy man i have the watch i want in pretty much mint condition bought from a very nice local jewellers in my home town ...and supporting the high street is i feel a good thing !.
I am in no way a Rolex fan boy but i am really loving the quality and fit of this lovely little 36mm ....
