I finally got my Explorer from an AD here in Chicago. After missing out on the 39mm for almost 2 years. Asked for this in April when Rolex released the new Explorer. Got the call in October. This one is a do it all wear it all watch. Perfect size for my 7 inch wrist (slightly less than 7). Since then it killed the desire for other watches. It’s tough to remember a Reverso/Speedy/Sub date ceramic/Seiko Turtle collection. Those are sitting in my safe, can’t wear another watch since the Explorer

Not for thin/fit guys with wrists under 7 inches. This wears just like the old 36mm Explorer. Personally I have no issue with watch size. I wear a 47mm Panerai 42mm Speedy, 40mm Sub, 28mm Reverso.

@@rf4790 this watch isn't for a idiotic person who wants to be noticed. It's for a true enthusiast, someone who is refined that appreciates the history of it..it doesn't surprise me that such stupid comments are being made by stupid people. Let them wallow in their self indulgence

Further proof this is now a ladies-model What a shame; from best watch in the lineup to unwearable for the vast majority of dudes Hopefully they’ll come to their senses and go 39mm again one day Nice vid; happy new year

😂I wouldn’t say it’s totally a girls watch. BUT it does wear small for even a 36 mm.

I’ll tell you what’s a woman’s watch. The Tiffany blue Oyster Perpetual. Now that’s a very feminine dial color. Yet men want one

I think that's purely personal taste. I for one thought 36 mm watches would wear too small. And while I think 38 to 40 mm looks perfect on my 7 inch wrist, maybe even better than a 36 mm watch, I just can't get used to actually wearing them. I always wear a shirt and they never slide under the cuff of my shirt. I prefer wearing vintage 34 tot 36mm watches. Besides, I also think a 36 mm can look very elegant if worn right. Just depends on your general aesthetic and personal preference is what I'm saying I guess. So for men it will be too feminine, but its definitely not a feminine watch.

@@wiesvangilbergen7916 Yes you're right. It depends they type of guy that wears a 36mm. For me I can wear anything except a Big Pilot (it looks like a clowns watch on me). The Explorer can look odd on a bigger guy, even if his wrist is less than 7 inches. I'm a short guy 5'5 average/thin build so I think it looks elegant on me. I am not a sporty guy (I don't even own a pair of sweat pants). I'm not a blue collar guy so something like a Deep Sea will not work for me, but a Panerai will. I'm into Italian/Japanese independent designer men's clothing (fashion forward type). My wife is in the fashion industry and we get invited to fashion shows/designer parties/art galleries. So I have to dress up often. What I enjoy about this hobby are the one and done versatile watches that match my sartorial style. One thing is for sure I don't like a watch to stand out more than my suit or outfit. I want my watch to compliment my apparel. Watches are a personal choice, but what's overlooked is how it matches the man and his lifestyle. many say 36mm is small but look at Tony Soprano mob boss that rocked a 36mm Day Date, and he was a big guy on the TV show. A watch is his choice, but sometimes a guy with a tuxedo rocking a Submariner? To me that's a high school kid move. The man doesn't know how to match (IMO). Same with a skinny 21 year old rocking shorts and flip flops with a gold AP. Too big, too bling, and it makes a person look like he's trying hard to look rich. I'll tell you what's feminine Tiffany blue dials, and diamonds on a watch.

@@wiesvangilbergen7916 What young guys tend not to know before they got into watches. Before 1999 watches even fashion watches were small 32mm-38mm. Back in the early 90's before the Submariner was the hype watch (not everyone's grail) 36mm was the old 40mm/42mm. People were not as fat as they are today. Once fashion brands up watch sizes and Panerai hit the scene in 1998 size preferences changed. Even when I bought my Explorer. It took a day to get use to the size after wearing plus 40mm watches since the early 2000's. For me the 36mm is a classic size. A throwback to my early 20's in 1992.
