Explorer I - "is there no one else?"...

[keltzar]

I'm picking up my 114270 on Monday. thinking of swapping the bracelet for a leather or other black strap. thoughts?

I have too many watches with the fliplock bracelet. Thought it would be nice to have another look.

Btw, I also found some pics of the Explorer on straps and they are attached below. The pics are borrowed from a Explorer owner by the nick "expwmbat" in Timezone. I especially like the 2nd pic of the Explorer on black gator strap.

i always find it weird to have a rollie on leather strap...perhaps i'm too "conditioned" that rollie should be on bracelets....but i guess each to his own...well guys??

cheers

i believe that the only rolex that looks good on straps are the cellini series. other than that, no go for me.

i really like it too but noticed that nowadays, usually worn by ladies and i find it too small, if they keep everything the same but make it 44-45mm, i sure get one...

Ender, I do have the same thoughts as u too. I'll be a happier Explorer if Rolex makes at least a min. of 40 to 42mm case. A classic feel with a moderen touch.

True, 36mm watch for ladies looks outstanding

[kermit e froggy]

Any clue , anyone ???

Out of curiousity, does anyone here knows which series did Explorer started to have SEL ? Which series Explorer started to eliminate the idea of having lug holes ?? Any website has more information on Explorer models other than vintagerolexforum.com ??? Anyone ????

Hi bro Kermit

to inject a bit of poison to you. Exp I is still one of my favourite Rolex. Although nowadays I wear mostly watches >40mm, it feels good to put on 36mm on your wrist again. It's a classic and the beauty of its dial is second to none. I like simple dial.

I know I am probably alone here with Nato strap combo, but for a change, I like it

After servicing it will be fitted with bracelet again

Harry, U r gd man but with evil intentions! Lucky, it's only a watch which might posion me and yet a woman from u. LoL...

Anyway, which series is your explorer 1 ??? I'm looking into 14270 instead of 114270 leh.

If you hang out with me often, not only watch poison kekekee

Mine is 114270 K series. I believe I have seen 14270 at Top Hour. U might check it out there. Any reason for 14270?
