Rolex Explorer 214270 - 1 year on the wrist. The perfect watch?

[@yousif4646]

I’ve passed on many many watches, Rolexes included. This Explorer always stayed. I couldn’t possibly let go of it.

[@gastonwhite1]

The Rolex Explorer 214270 has been my daily watch for a little over a year and a half. The perfect watch for me.

[@underachievingwatchcollect1878]

Couldn’t agree more-I have the same watch 😎! Most of my watches are chunky and thicker so when I put the Explorer on it’s a treat.

[@btyc]

I absolutely agree, bought mine from Chrono24 late last year, box and papers, very very good (barely worn) condition, running +3/4 secs per day for 10k (out the door) and have not looked back. This is already a classic and will only go up in price, so my logic was I knew I wanted it so no point in waiting.

[@watchesgiggles5659]

Awesome! Wear it in good health. It’s a lovely watch. 🍻

[@Explorer40mm]

Awesome watch but 4 seconds a day fast is not within spec and is likely due for a service.

[@de3jhc]

Sold mine earlier in 2021 after 3 years of ownership thinking it was boring and too sterile. Have been regretting that decision for awhile now. It really is the perfect watch.

[@watchesgiggles5659]

I made the mistake of selling a 2018 Sub :(. I know that feeling.

[@p.a7775]

Blimey I can't believe it's a year already! Glad you still love it.

[@mrtee6678]

My 1st Rolex which I picked up in Dec-20. It’s just an amazing watch to wear you nailed it you said it disappears on the wrist, the steel feels like silk. Truly an epic watch. Still THE best 3 hander ever made👌

[@Amaru_r]

This is my fav watch of my collection including other Rolex, absolutely love it and wear it almost every day

[@jblack1979]

I absolutely love mine also picked up at the AD in 2019 and will never get rid of it

[@David-wp3sv]

Would love to see the 36mm on your wrist as well for comparison! Beautiful watches!

[@richardweir3342]

I bought the 39mm last March and feel the same way about. Its a stunning design in simplicity and elegance. I would disagree slightly on the smaller 36 being better proportioned, I just feel its to small. I wouldn't be surprised to see Rolex bring back the 39mm. I also find that the other sports models in Rolex catalogue, now seem vulgar to me.

[@gid-vicious]

Haven’t seen the new 36 in person but I hear it wears smaller than the old 36. I love my 39 don’t get the whole fuss over negative space, on my 7.25 inch wrist feels in proportion. Prefer explorer text at bottom, too crowded at top in my humble slightly biased opinion

[@the_one_named_harris]

I love the watch, I haven't warn the submariner in ages... This watch still signals that you like watches, the sub may signal you're into rolex, gucci and bmw 🙃

[@andrewsilverstone4894]

Do you have link to where u purchased the 3d printed Rolex crown? Love your videos keep up the content! Thanks.

[@watchesgiggles5659]

I bought it off eBay about a year ago. Sorry, no link

[@LH4116]

I was fortunate enough to pick up a 214270 from an AD as a walk-in customer back in September of 2020. Wore it for two weeks and felt that it wasn't the watch for me. Back then they didn't fetch a premium over the retail price, so I passed it on for the same price that I bought it for. In hindsight I should have held on to the watch, even though I didn't like it.

[@whereRbearsTeeth]

You are exactly what is wrong with the watch community.

[@buddastud5534]

There’s is no cons with that watch. Especially at this price point it’s probably the best pound for pound from the original price

[@watchesgiggles5659]

Bud, how the hell are you? Hope 2022 is treating you well! It is an awesome watch my friend. I struggled to come up with anything bad to say😂. 🍻

[@buddastud5534]

@@watchesgiggles5659 it’s hard to beat this watch. 22 is not bad I’m breathing so I won’t complain. Hope your good man. Keep up the good work.👊🏻

[@trimoblie]

No rehaut?

[@NinjaFighter31]

[@watchesgiggles5659]

Yes, the 39 mm and the new 36 mm.

[@matlindell5022]

Bought mine 26 years ago !the real one🤩🤣😂

😂🤣. Enjoy it!

[@matlindell5022]

@@watchesgiggles5659 love it to death!😍

[@bizzybezz]

Sad world today, nobody can buy anything for retail

[@jeffroutledge9153]

Must be nice to have had an Explorer for an entire year already. I cannot get one from my local AD to save my life. I've been trying all year to obtain one. 🙄

[@mohnnadmercedes8246]

I love it but the crappy extreme pretentious marketing ( everest and James bond crap ) is really cringgy i love it because its simpl extremely tough and legible not because of its questionable marketing
