    Explorer 14270

    Very happy about my first ever Explorer. SWISS only dial from late 1997 (quite early for a SWISS dial, no?) with box and papers.

    A great contender for the “one watch for life” philosophical debate.

    Small and discrete, and very pleasant to wear.

    Happy Sunday!

    I would agree with you. I have recently posted many of my watches for sale (in Canada) and will likely keep my prs82, a g shock and hopefully add an explorer! I think they are really well executed in terms of overall design and as usually commented on they are very versatile.

    Looks like it may have a compass? Nice watch, good size

    It’s a dark green two piece leather strap from an Italian chap though can’t recall the name. Watchstrapguy perhaps?

    Indeed it does though have added that on top. It’s not integrated into the strap

    Very nice indeed. I do hope Rolex bring back the 36mm Explorer.

    Swiss only print dials were also used as replacement dials.

    i love the watch model and have owned lots over the years.
    It's just a matter of time...

    The very definition of splendid. I would wear that, no problem. I too prefer the smaller size, and my wrist is 7 inches. Enjoy.
