So happy to be partnering with eBay for this video! Learn more about their Authenticity Guarantee service and check out their amazing selection of authentic luxury watches right here - ebay.to/BrockAG
I recently decided to buy a Rolex Explorer, ref 114270, a watch that I've admired from a distance for a long time now. If you've followed me for a while, you've probably heard me rave about this watch. Or if you're new here, you probably love this watch for man of the same reasons that I do.
Either way, I want to walk you through the buying process, unbox this new-to-me Explorer, and tell you why I think it's on of my favorite all time watches.

Just purchased another 114270 Explorer. After a year on a waitlist for the newest 36mm Explorer it still hasn’t come in. I did finally get to try on the new 124270 36mm and was disappointed. I still prefer the older 114270 or even the 14270. The dial indices and arabics are bigger now throwing the negative space off. Also don’t like the 19mm width on the bracelet. It’s a better constructed and updated watch for sure but the previous version Explorer just feels like a true Explorer compared to the new glitzy model. The 36mm is the proper size for my 7” wrist. My 39mm Mk2 Explorer is probably going to get sold. Great watch for a bigger wrist but just not for me. Ebay is just as good as any place to purchase a luxury watch. I’ve bought many even before the authenticity guarantee program. Never a problem but I’m pretty experienced and have seen dodgy luxury watches for sale. Pretty obvious the problem listings but the new program seems to have chased most of the scammers off the platform. The prices for these has been going up and up. Especially since the new 36mm has rekindled interests in the Explorer, plus the new version is unattainium do driving people to the older Explorer

That really looks good on you, man...congratulations. I've had my regrets to this day. I was in the Navy and I was stationed in Japan, it was around early 2000. I bought a used datejust Rolex with a presidential bracelet and a silver dial from a local jewelry store/pawnshop. I've it got for a layway, it was only $1,500 and I've paid it off in 6 months. My regrets was, when I went broke I've sold it for only $1k...Up to this day, I still couldn't believe that I had to sold it. It could have been my investment, too...:(

I saw your comment on the rolex Explorer video Hodinkee made last year as well as other recent videos on the Explorer this year, so I was kinda waiting for this video to pop up in my subscriptions at some point lol. Glad you went with the 36mm 114270 reference. 36-38 mm is pretty much the sweet spot in terms of size for me, since I also have a 6.25 inch wrist. I tried on the 39mm version at my local Rolex dealer and it felt a little too chunky and cumbersome to wear. The 36mm proportions are perfect to me. The 1016 is still one of my grails that I want to own at some point in my life, but I am gonna wait a while on that. Great video as always, cheers.

The 114270 is probably the perfect watch, only right after the 1016 (Also an Explorer). But since the 1016 is getting really old, the 114270 is probably the most reasonable grail watch you can aspire to.

I hope to pick one up this year! Do you have any problems with centering the clasp or sizing the bracelet on the 114270? I have a thin wrist, between 6-6.25 in like yourself, and I heard that some thin wristed people have a problem where the watch will tend to roll towards the pinky side of the wrist due to the off centered clasp (the solution is to flip the bracelet or remove a permanent link).

I have always shied away from wearing a wrist watch simply because I have such a tiny wrist (six inches). And I would never think to buy one with a metal link band. One time, a relative gave me a metal link watch for my birthday, and it turned out to be a woman's size-and I didn't want to wear a women's watch. Did you take your Rolex to a local jewelry store to have some links removed, so that it fit your wrist?

*_I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A ROLEX FAN-BOY. I'VE 2 ROLEXES AT THE MOMENT (BOTH SUBMARINERS LOL). I WISH THE AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE FROM EBAY WAS AROUND WHEN I GOT MINE. IT WOULD HAVE MADE MY LIFE A LOT EASIER AND MAYBE COULD'VE SAVED SOME MONEY TOO. THIS IS A GREAT FEATURE!_*

Thanks! Yeah, I think it's a real game changer for eBay. They offer it for sneakers too now.

I have the same reference Explorer. Great watch, can’t go wrong with it. Mine looks great on my 7” wrist, and yours also looks great on your 6,25” wrist. 36mm is a great size.

hold the phone. have priced the rolex explorer at highly respected and official rolex retail dealers. the list price of the watch is significantly less than those offered ebay. can you explain this discrepancy? thank you , JDR
@BrockMcGoff
@BrockMcGoff 3 жыл бұрын
This model is discontinued, so there is no list price anymore. It’s common for Rolex sport models to have a higher “street price” than MSRP (esp. discontinued ones). That said, you can find this one for under $6k depending on condition and serial.
