Increased availability or astoundingly good luck (with many upset people on the waiting list!)? Who can tell.
A close friend of mine picked up an Explorer 1 from an AD in Mayfair today. He went in on the off chance on Thursday last week and they contacted him on Friday saying they had one and did he want it.
It makes a farce of the spiel that most AD's come out with.

What attracted this multi-millionaire to the Explorer I?
I like to hope it’s a reflection of his genuine approach and the AD’s appreciation of true interest. Hope he keeps rather than flips it.
Do you mean an Explorer?

I mistakenly read the first elaboration on the nomenclature, thinking “well - that puts that to bed!”
I spent two years on the waiting list in Cardiff for an explorer [1] and then found the shop has discontinued its relationship with Rolex. Back to the beginning for me… actually, I haven’t bothered, I’m sticking with my Everest 40.

They apparently are the least requested model or so the AD says!
Yup, indeed.
And yet not long before that they were the poor and unloved cousin of the DJ, as I recall.
It seems to me that it was the massive bump up in popularity of the DJ that then led to the rise in manic popularity of the OP, together with all the new colours.
A friend of mine recently got a Sub in a month without previous business at the shop.
Cheers,
Neil.
