Haha “almost” 😂😂 thanks heaps dude always appreciate the support

Do it! Get it again.... we know you really want an Explorer again.

I wish I could afford one…

@@jimwashington860 You can, just save your extra money. It may take you some time but I assure you, well worth it. I will go further and say this is a type of watch that ends a collection. This new Explorer 36mm became my on and done. I sold a few pieces to fund this, and a few more mid tier watches will go on sale, because the Explorer is the only watch I wear. In the 90's the 36mm was very difficult to get. I missed my opportunity to buy one new (I don't like to buy used). I didn't like the 39mm so I went on without an Explorer. after 20 plus years this came out and was the first client at my AD to ask for one. A 6 months later I got the call. October 2021. So don't wish, save save save, Rolex will continue to produce the 36mm Explorer for at least another 10-15 years. You have some time.

Congrats !!

Very kind thankyou

Cheers

Thanks for the kind words. I have been trying some stuff in 30fps … from memory this one was yes

Thanks so much !

Well said and how I felt as well. It gets better with time. Enjoy !

Congratulations! What’s your latest update on owning this watch? I’m trying to get one from the AD. But it’s difficult…

@@timemycollection Do you have previous purchase histories? I was lucky I got mine in about 5/6 months. To update -- I LOVE it. It wears a smidge smaller than 36 (or at least an illusion) due to the tapered bracelet an 19mm lug width. The overall feel tho is fantastic. I've held the old 36 and the recent 39mm and this new 36 feels a whole lot more refined. Mainly the OG size, tapered bracelet, chromalite lume, 72 hrs power reserve, AR coating, and properly proportioned dial layout makes everything really makes it feel like its "the best modern version" of the Explorer. One thing to note though that the AR coating + lacquered dial makes it a bit more showy/blingy than the matte tool feels of previous versions.

@@josefsbeach good to hear. I have no previous history with the A.D’s I’m registered with. Which is why it’s difficult to obtain. I feel like i’ll never buy on the grey as i don’t trust it and I can’t afford the premium compared to my living means. The price of the watch alone is more than a big thing to me, let alone an extra fee on top! I do feel this is the best version of the Explorer also. And the fact that it wears small is exactly what i want. My biggest watch is 40mm excusing a garmin smart watch at 47mm. I’ve heard it doesn’t really fit nato’s well but that isn’t a deal breaker for me! Thank you for your update and all the best with your watch memories 🙌🏾

@@timemycollection I totally hear you -- I've always wanted the explorer as it's really the only Rolex I honestly wanted in their catalogue but couldnt justify the premium as well. That's why I sold my bb58 when I purchased the Explorer from the AD. I have small wrists as well and 36 is my favorite size. Don't worry about the nato -- the bracelet it fantastic. May I suggest subtle follows ups with your AD. It helps to keep yourself on top of mind for them and show them that you're actually interested in the piece rather than just being a random flipper. I believe the Explorer would be the easiest to get within their steel sports range -- but then again nowadays Rolex itself is impossible to get unless you pay premium. I'm considering myself extremely lucky to have been offered. Best of luck!

Agreed

Brilliant. 7.75inch wrist here and it feels perfect.

Great to hear

I certainly enjoyed my time with it

There was no concept of “wrist presence”. Watches were big enough for you to see the dial on your wrist. Why be bigger. It would just get in the way. I believe the early submariners were ~38mm. Now watches need to look good to people standing near you rather than yourself. So everything has to be 40mm++.

Not much to complain about except the obvious 😉😉

Other than its not......perfect for you maybe but is nowhere near for me.

@@johnprosser5035 everyone’s different mate. I’m sure you have a favorite watch too ?

If you are looking for just one quality mechanical Swiss tool watch, this is definitely the ONE to own. Wear it anywhere, doing anything. I wouldn’t buy from a flipper but USD msrp $7,200 was worth it for me. I’m an Omega guy and purchased this Explorer from an AD last week. 6 3/4 inch wrist, usually a 39/40mm watch size but on this particular watch, I like the 36mm. 1953, the year I was born, old school cool. Yes, I’m old! Never really wanted a Rolex, except this one.

@Archie Baldwin I agree on Aqua Terra! I have old school Omegas. Moonwatch, Seamaster 300’s and a Railmaster. My favorite is the next one that I buy 😁

Well said. It’s nicely balanced

Yeah pretty hard to argue with that !!

I’ll endeavor to provide a warning ⚠️ of impending music in future reviews for those like yourself that don’t like music on sections where there’s no talking 😉

@@mracekproductions you missed the point. Music is too loud in certain frames relative to your voice that the it becomes a distraction. This is not a matter of dislike for the music

@@Arthur_StJohn in your opinion....

@@StruanRobertson29 thanks 😉

I jammed pretty hard with it

Haha thanks for watching much appreciated

We all do the same lol . Addicts

Very cool

Amazing man ! Love hearing stories like this. Thanks for sharing

Well said

Can’t go wrong with either … if you can get one .. at retail 🙈🙈

Well wouldn't that be a perfect two watch collection! I have a 36mm Datejust black dial on a jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel and now seriously considering this as its brother!

I have one but it looks kind of more formal and dressy. I want an explorer for the day to day.

Haha 😂 there’s other options as well

@@mracekproductions I’ve found that when your heart is set on one watch, compromising won’t bring the satisfaction. I’ve had to really exercise some self control to not buy a black bay 36 just to get somewhat of that explorer feel

@@theannouncer5538 fair enough

Go on waitlist like everyone else

Great there’s something for everyone 😊

Do you have an 8 inch wrist?

I think you’ll have a better chance of getting this one than any other Rolex.

Lucky there was a 39mm before this one 😉

Wasn’t too small for sir Edmund to summit a large mountain … 😉

Do you measure your masculinity in case sizes, daddy?

@@nathanf1934 lol 😂 nice

@@nathanf1934 Yes, that is what men do. Is that clear?

@@fred2you In other words, you wear a 36mm because you are built like a girl.
