Explorer 1 aka 369

[Oceanklassik]

The Explorer is a classic and its simple design is a plus, IMO. I find that it s a watch that can be dressed up or down for any occasion. Though at 36mm, the flat profile and thin bezel makes the Explorer wear a tad larger than it really is. Really wanted my girlfriend to go for it when she was looking for a Rolex sometimes back. But eventually she went with the traditional look of a Datejust as she wanted one with date feature .

Gd choice ur wife had made over the Exp I..

[Oceanklassik]

For me I want my wife to wear EXP I as well and I believed it looks great on my wife wrist.

Unfortunately, my wife's wrist is too thin and the bracelet have to cut (modify) it and with this we give up this idea. End up she only can get a lady OP.

However, EXP I forever is my dream watch which I wish to own and I believed I will own it one of the day.

Cheers,

See wat I mean?! Another choice over the Exp I..

early 2000s...... ADs were asking for around S$8k then......

What I heard then was that a Japanese film star was spotted wearing one in a movie. That started a stampede for the watch. Then that craze died when all the lemmings fell over the cliff .

To me, the Exp 1 is just an AirKing but with a different name. There are some AirKing (think they are AirKing) dials with the same 3, 6, 9 indexes as the Exp 1.

And how much is an AIRKing to an ExpI ?!

lets juz say she got a substantial subsidy for that purchase.. . but it was $ well spent on the Datejust rather than say.. on a diamond ring. Maybe its just us guys who r more practical , but then again, spending few Ks on a watch doesn't exactly qualify us as being rational, isn't it? no wonder they all say its poisonous and a serious addiction..

[Oceanklassik]

Well if the 'substantial subsidy' came from you, then I think she's worth the 'investment' huh?

[seiko.citizen]

well... he would think so. Otherwise no investment would be made

Exp I is a classic, a watch with history. A very simple and 'clean' looking watch. It appears small in today's world, but 36mm is a wearable size for any gender.

one of my gf used to wear a expI, nice watch, for both sex, and equally practical. it didnt have any extras to throw things out of balance

if 1 find the Explorer is small, can consider sub w/o date. ard the same price.
