The bezel makes it very sporty so not ideal for semi-formal or formal occasions. I have the explorer 1 and find it more versatile.

If this reference came in 40mm it would be my favourite modern Rolex! Amd before anyone says "get the older 40mm", this newer reference's maxi hands/indices, bracelet and clasp are why I love it! Sadly, having had one on my baby-like wrist, it's just to cumbersome for me.
