Your prediction came true with Rolex discontinuing the 39mm on 7th April 2021. Maybe a bit surprised to find Rolex went back to 36mm. Very glad I bought a 39mm Explorer 1 last year 😀

I absolutely love my Mk II. Honestly think it's about perfect at 39mm (and I have small wrists) unless you have a purist's zeal for the 36mm. I can't see them discontinuing the 39mm and upping it to 41mm unless they have a 36mm and 41mm. Whilst I'm sure a lot of people would love the split sizing I don't think they'll do it.

I think it has a place in the lineup....Once you remove the OP 39mm, then the Explorer is the only 39mm model available...it bridges the gap perfectly between the 36mm (Datejust and OP) and the 40mm+ (GMT, Submariner, etc) models. I think they'll update it soon, discontinue the reference, updated movement, maybe a slight dial reconfiguration, but if they discontinue the model altogether, then you'll go from a 37mm LADIES Yacht-master, to a 40mm GMT....it feels like there should be a 39mm model in the lineup....the Explorer fits perfectly in that slot! And then you'd have to rename the Explorer II, turn it into the Explorer, or rename it entirely.....Besides, the watch is one of the most iconic models the brand has....there's too much history, I don't see it going away...

The current Explorer 39 is actually 39.8mm so basically 40. Fans hated the size increase in 2010 preferring the proportions of the older 36 which is actually 35mm. I see Rolex doing the same as the new Sub. They will keep the same diameter 40mm but widen the bracelet to 21mm and slim down the lugs. Then it might look more similar to the classic 36. Add the newer movement and maybe add a white version to celebrate 70 years in 2021. Rolex never looks backwards!

With next year being the 50th anniversary of the Explorer 2, I would suspect that Rolex may well wait at least another year thereafter to make changes to the 39mm Explorer. The hype will be all about the Explorer 2 and they will want a separate set of hype for the 39mm. I agree with you David on the price premium once discontined, just look at the OP 39 mm, especially black dial prices (albeit a short production run with that particular movement) and the Explorer is a far more iconic watch than the OP in my view.

Bump up to 40mm get the new gen movement in there and throw in a blue sunray dial and I’d take a second look. They perfected the 39mm version with the longer minute hand and lume show. But it’s not a piece that sings to me in its current format. Of course if they facelift it next year forget it. It’ll be another Submariner costing way over list at which price point I’d walk. Or run...

I agree it sits oddly now with the unexpected discontinuation of the excellent 39mm white. To abandon the 39mm size altogether seems extreme as bridge between 36 and 41mm is a large one. COULD it indicate that a 39mm white dial Explorer I could be a new addition to the range? This sits more comfortably with me than the removal of 39mm altogether. Thoughts @David?

If they refine it a bit maybe. This would be a big mistake because this watch is the center of all Rolex. It’s the most diverse versatile watch Rolex makes.

@@stephens2r338 Rolex is clever or notorious for making bracelets not fit on different references. Yes I can see Rolex making a 21mm bracelet and a dial proportion change. Not to mention Rolex upgrade every reference 5-10 years, one collection at a time. Knowing Rolex they already planned to increase the case sizes 5-10 years ago. If they ever scale back case sizes, it might be in another 20 years. They stick to production plans even if it goes against what people want or what the current trends are. I am done with Rolex. I own a 36mm Explorer 114270 a pre-ceramic Sub 14060M, and a 114060 Sub. That I might sell to fund more watches. The only Rolex that I like is a Pepsi. But, it's no longer a everyday tool watch. It's a sporty luxury watch. To expensive to bash around, too blingy to wear with jeans & a t-shirt. Noodies and hype are what keeps Rolex in demand. Rolex lost the celebrity market. Yes they wear Rolex but most famous people have grown past Rolex and into high end horology. Just look a Hip Hop artists. They don'y buy Rolex, they buy Patek AP Hublot. Movie stars wear Rolex as if Rolex was Swatch watches. Wealthy people buy Rolex for their kids who graduated high school. Rolex lost the desirability from wealthy upper class. It's no longer a big deal for them even though they still buy Rolex. For them a Rolex is like a G-Shock. There is more demand fro Rolex from middle class working people. Which Rolex does not want lower class people wearing their products.

As an owner of a 214270 Mk2, i don’t think the size will or should change as its perfect at 39mm. Only gripe i have is that the power reserve at 48 hours is too low and quite frankly unacceptable from such an expensive watch.

I think it will be 41 mm or mabye 40 mm and be a sort off sporty datejust option verry classic and more under the rader then the datejust 41mm

Hey David, where did you get that AP clock on your desk? I would love to have one, that’s as close as I could afford an AP.

Hi Great Chanel. 5* I watch some videos on how watch dealers buy for instance l Rolex, AP etc., put aftermarket diamonds and sell those for let say £20k (explained that it is aftermarket), but factory settings would cost £120. What the law says, just wondering how is this ok, because if this watch goes in the wrong hands dealer or person that was cheated as factory settings, same this watch can be sold as original factory setting.

Hi David totally agree. I have two. And ....I’m buying another 2 or 3 . Certainly better than leaving the cash in the bank.

if you can locate any of the SS ROLEX's at an AD -yes buy it if you can. going to NYC tomorrow to visit a few AD's , to see if there is anything in stock before the December replenishment. ~ JDS/CT. I trust your experience.

Currently the best investment Rolex to buy is the last version of the Explorer 114270 with rehault. Intrestingly nobody talks about it ? it was only available in 08 and 09 during the finance crisis so few were sold. In the last 3 years it has doubled in value. No other Rolex model comes close.

I don't see anyway they don't discontinue this model soon. Isn't this the only 39mm Oyster Perpetual model they still make?? Doesn't seem cost effective to make just one watch in that size. Plus the movement is due for an upgrade too. I would bet sometime next year you'll see a 41mm Explorer with a new movement.

What do you think about the OP 114300 39mm in white Dial? Its discontinued right now. I think that watch will go up in price. Very few watches from Rolex comes with a complete white dial and they only made the white dial on op 114300 from 2018-2020

It’s always been smaller than the Sub and the GMT and with the further distinctions Rolex is making between the two models I think it will stay at 39mm but you never know.

The Explorer may get updated - - perhaps with a new movement - - but I seriously doubt that this iconic piece will disappear from the Rolex Professional Line altogether.

It took me over a year to put the cash together to get one and now that I got it I'm glad I did. I love the watch because of what the watch is but I'm glad to see the prices going up specially the MK2 mint with box and papers. And yes it got discontinued the crazy thing is that the new model is back to a 36. So Rolex ran the 39 for 10 years 5 Mk1 and 5MK2. Such a classic. Rolex may never make a 39 Explorer again.
DON’T buy the ROLEX EXPLORER before you watch this video
