20mm bracelet on the 36 iterations of explorer never looked right to me, this looks perfect, the curve down from the case to 19mm works perfectly and I agree it’s the best looking Explorer ever.

I have the new explorer and 36mm is the perfect size for this watch. Feels great on wrist. I've never been into larger watches, with 40mm being my upper limit. It's great to see watch makers reducing the diameter of their watches and coming back to classic proportions.

Rolex has never seemed at peace with the large watch trend. Their decision to reduce this model back to 36mm could signal that they see some long term validity in the recent trend towards smaller watches. Perhaps with their market authority they hope to force some validity onto the trend with this change. It could also be that the design of this iconic three-hander with it’s fixed-bezel lent itself to the smaller size in which it was originally designed. This gave them an opportunity to build a bit more size range back into the professional line. As a guy with a smaller wrists I am glad they gave us back this option. Whatever the motivations.

Exact same sentiment. Just purchased this watch and awaiting its delivery. I have a smaller wrist size, 16.5 to 16.75. Of my watches and the majority micro brand's. Its the mid size watches that I find myself wearing and enjoying on the wrist. Think (off the top) my biggest is a 42mm Steinhart case. I can carry it off but in the end found it to big (the watch is a gorgeous vintage style homage) but my wrist size is to small. Even 41mm case is to big. My sweet spot for cases is around min-34, ideal-36-and max 39mm. Good or bad learned through a lot of trial and error. Lastly the noted number of factors of, dial size, bezel, crystal, bracelet, etc. But long short happy to "at least" now have these sizes as an option.

I actually saw my banker wearing his 114270 today. Its lovely, but the new bracelet width and taper helps round out this watches versatility, by being more at home in more elegant settings. I'd say if those times where you want elegance are seldom or you have another watch for that, the 114270 is a slightly more masculine look.

Great review and I fully agree that the 36mm Rolex is the perfect size for most people. I bought 2 tt DJs, this 36 mm explorer , a 36 mm Cartier Santos in 2021 and a 36mm SS DJ in 2022 and I must say that I've totally converted to that size after wearing and owning all the hyped 40mm Rolexes including your Batman. Legibility is not worse than a 40mm but wearability is so much more comfortable and unnoticeable. I believe Rolex and eventually Patek and other brands will revert to this classic size. Keep up the videos.

Yes it’s a small watch but it’s still masculine and is super versatile. I want to upgrade to the 124270 but with how Rolex is now, it’s likely it’ll take a while lol

After owning a 124270 for the last 1.5 months, it makes my OP36 (116000) seem bloated for reasons you mentioned in this video. The 20mm bracelet, 18mm clasp, and “super case” of my 116000 makes me appreciate what Rolex did with the 124270 immensely. If the 116000 didn’t have sentimental value, it’d be gone.

Great review, and I fully agree. The 39 was never for me, the 40 even less so, but this one hits the spot. The minute I laid eyes and hands on it, I knew I had to get it. No regrets! The dimensions are perfect. Case and lugs of course, but even the dainty sounding 19 to 14mm tapered bracelet and 16mm clasp in real life have presence and solidity. I never got the appeal of ever bulkier and dishier wristwatches to begin with, and shun most of them, with a few notable exceptions perhaps. Instead, this Explorer re-confirms the beauty of proper design and classic dimensioning. Truly a great watch!

Nice vid thanks. For your wrist size the 36mm is the right size not to mention the proportions on the dial with the slim bezel. I noticed you tend to wear the larger watch sizes lower on your wrist far too close to your hand. That position may be fine when having a smaller wrist as its curve makes it appear to be larger, but its not comfortable over time nor correct as it limits natural wrist movement.

Hi! Yes, it’s normal on the new 32xx series of movements. I wish it was quieter too, but it’s a worthwhile trade off for a superior movement with longer power reserve. I believe it may have to do with the weight of the rotor, making it more efficient and therefore lighter (thinking miyota here), but that’s just a theory. Hope this helps!

The case measures 35.5mm. It has identical size and proportions to a 1980s AirKing. All tried and tested. Moving the Explorer logo back to the top made sense as otherwise it would have been different between sizes (40mm). If there had just been one size, then Explorer at the bottom of the dial would have been in line with how it’s done on Professional models.

The texts is smaller and the 369 is smaller as well (no lume though). It’s less bold. It’s totally a personal preference though. But if you asked me which explorer would I choose it would be the 1016. Infinitely cooler and I absolutely prefer Rolex vintage dials over their modern counterparts

“Wrist presence” is the silliest thing. A large sports watch is inferior to a small one as it can get in the way. Wrist presence has zero to do with function but rather, is all about making sure other people can see it on your wrist.

Hey my friend nice review ! How do you feel a year later about your 124270? Do you still have the same opinion and the same love for it ? Just traded yesterday my 114270 plus few cash for the new 124270. My initial observation is that there is an optical illusion about the new being tiny bit smaller because of 19mm to 14mm taper . Otherwise the face on its own looks tiny bigger than the older because of the bolder numbers and bigger bezel . I have same wrist size like yours and I owned watches as small as 35 up to panerai 42 and Rolex seadeweller. When I first bought my 114270 never ever felt wrong or small while for example my DJ36 had times that doesn’t look that right . My initiall concern so far and I hope I’ll get over it is that the taper makes it from time to time to feel small . Everyone else I’ve asked though tells me on my wrist looks perfect neither small or on the feminine side just perfect . Initial thoughts is that 90% compare to the older reference is superior but when it comes to lug and taper, for now loosing points . If it was 20 lug taper to 15 would be the best Rolex ever made. For the 39mm tried many times and while I could buy it retail was always feeling wrong .. too much dial.. for this kind of watch at this size I would look for other better or cheaper options .. I would like your updated thoughts please !!!

@watchyourstyle Жыл бұрын
Hi friend! Thanks for your comment and support. The 124270 is a cracking watch. I do agree with your points about the 35mm diameter and 19mm lugs being a bit more on the modest size. However, when I wear the watch, it disappears on wrist. It’s incredibly light and comfortable. I’ve also found that putting the watch on a strap makes the lugs look wider and more balanced to the watch head. That being said I recently had the opportunity to pick up the exp40 and actually gave my 124270 to my father. I wish Rolex revived the 114270 but with modern touches like lumed Arabic numerals. That was my favorite explorer reference. I have found myself gravitating towards the mk2 and exp40 in terms of sizing in the post-114270 era, but that is just my personal taste. You really can’t go wrong with any Explorer, it’s a dang near perfect watch, and I’m glad Rolex continues to make this model as faithful to the original as they can. Cheers and I hope this helps!

Perfection? Say it ain't so! Once you adjust to the size, Speedys and Subs appear comically large. Mine hasn't left my (7.25") wrist in 6 weeks. GADA? Definitely. One and done? Exit? Perhaps.

I tried on a 1016 recently. They had it at an AD... I would never spend 20k on a watch that looked very flimsy and tired... but the size was lovely... this new Explorer is 100% the perfect one watch... and I'm on the list. I'm a few years away from being able to afford one, but your gorgeous video was the final moment...I am totally convinced that this is the right choice. It's stylish, small, subtle, high quality...I wish there was a little micro adjust system, but you can't have it all... my G shock 5600E is my daily wear, while the Explorer is slowly coming my way..I think that it perfectly goes against the culture of big shiny fashion watches.... it doesn't scream... it doesn't have to...bravo

Ive had mine adjusted so that its relatively loose. It remains very comfortable because its light. It doesnt need a snug fit like other behemoths and constant adjustments like glidelock.

It's not the best Explorer, it's too small. The MK II 39mm that was recently discontinued is the best available. I've also worn both.

The 36mm is lovely but is just a tad to small given the tapered strap. I have the 39mm and think it is just right even thou I don’t like the taper in the strap as it makes the watch look small. If it was 41mm in size, like the OPs and Datejusts, then it would be to big. I just don’t appreciated being charged the same amount of money for a watch that is now smaller in size. It’s no different to food manufacturers reducing the pack size but charging the same. It irks you like hell and this is no different.

Tried it on recently…..way to small…… feels too dainty and delicate which is not good for a tool watch. And that polished bezel is a complete scratch magnet!!!! But loved the review and the feel of your video…. Really nicely done, thank you

This the most daintiest and cartoonish feminine Exp 1 to date. The narrower lugs and aggressive taper of the bracelet makes it wear so much smaller than the DateJust36 and OP36. Im sorry. The 124270 proportions are wrong. Much prefer the 114270.

@@russellseah2347 Have you tried it at least or are you just judging from the videos and others… Some prefer small watches and others the big ones, I really don’t see the connection on the female side. In addition, the 36 with this size and this bracelet is perfectly suited to its usefulness.
