- In this episode of "What Is On My Wrist" Cam talks about a "Neo Vintage" classic, the Rolex Explorer I Ref 14270. Cam provides a brief history of the Rolex Explorer 1 Ref. 14270 and talks about how the Ref. 14270 bridges the gap between a classic vintage Rolex and a watch of more modern design and build from Rolex.

If there were no lug holes on this case how would you remove the bracelet?
The 14270 used the 558B end links. There are two variants of the 558B end links one that is not notched and one that is notched. The no holes cases used the notched variant of the 558B. The SEL bracelet was introduced in the year 2000 with the 114270 below are examples of 14270's with notched and non-notched end 😀

-No Holes Case "Notched Endlink":
1998 "tritanova" 14270 has the 558b end links which are notched so you can remove the end link from the backside of the case.

@@craftandtailored awesome, thanks!!
I have no idea why you don't have 100k subscribers. You have incredible vintage watches you don't see anywhere else. Keep it up!
We will get there :) Thanks for the support!!!
I originally bought a bb36 because I wanted something that looked like an explorer and i did love it, but I found myself watching videos on explorers all the time still. Went ahead and sold the bb36 and got a 14270 for a great price in great condition. I SUSPECT I’m done buying watches now😂
Epic watch...perfectly proportioned.
I love how this watch featured so many transitionary elements.. from lume material to solid linked bracelet, from matt to glossy dial. As someone born in year 1989 (same year the explorer I was released), feel like this watch fits perfectly the transitions you experience in your own life. Growing up in the 90s transitioning into 2000s new tech internet era until start of working life marking the discontinuation of ones conscience free youth :D I think i need this watch!
This is exactly how I feel
I find my Rolex collection is very much migrating to early 90’s, tritium, lug holes examples. This neo-vintage era is quickly become by my favourite era (I’ve add a 16610, 16570 and most recently a 14270, just need to eventually find a nice 16700 GMT).
Subtlety & Simplicity are in fact the ultimate sophistication !
agreed!!
Correction: this watch is on my wrist now :) love the purchase
Got my 114270 for the updated movement and so the indexes and the Arabic numerals stayed the same color. Wish they updated the numerals with the ones found on the 116000 OP just for consistency. But w/e I love my explorer 1 regardless. Great episode guys, stay safe.
thanks, my man! I really like the 116000 OP best bang for the buck modern Rolex in steel right now... Total sleeper watch!
Just out of curiosity Christian, do you ever run into any issues putting leather straps on your 114270? I own one and I had to get curved spring bars because otherwise, the edge of the case would chew up my straps due to the lug holes being closer to the case than the 14270.
Thanks!
@@stuartpeterman2281 I had to do the same. Ripped up a very expensive strap. The curved spring bars from toxic nato have been a necessity.
Great video man! I subbed. Really like how you talk about watches.
Thanks!!
"other than the dial , hands and movement the 1016 remained unchanged durings its production " LOL
we could dive into the minute details of the 1016 but we didn't want to make the 14270 vids about the history and an insane number of 1016 variants! We plan to cover that in additional episodes!
What Cam said was completely correct, the 1016 was ascetically unchanged throughout its 30 year run but there are technical differences in the reference. Seemed pretty clear to me.
Another great video my man. Neovintage is definitely the way to go now in days. Looking good with that fresh quarantine haircut!
thanks my man!!
I'm looking to get in to vintage Rolexes and want to start with something like the 14270. What is important to look for on the market? Great video btw!
one of the most beautiful watch i've ever seen. hope i can buy 14270 someday!
I bought a 14270 x series three days ago.
It is really really nice .
Love this watch! I recently purchased a 14270 from 1993. Its got this crazing effect frosted/spider dial.. I dont know if this is a positive thing or a negative thing.. I dont mind it personally but just wondering what your opinion is!
That is a very positive thing. Do not change it whatever you do. Worth far more if unchanged.
I got lucky being born in 94, I got my submariner from my birth year and it’s exactly the model I wanted. Now I really want an explorer from early 2000s
Currently looking for an Explorer 1. Still not decided on 14270 or the updated 114270. Anyone know if the solid end links make a big difference in quality of fit?
Jay W SEL just would never lose shape on hard knocks or abusing and give loose the loose jingling noise. In term of comfort, i think the hollow end link would be more comfortable on smaller wrist. Shouldn’t have much difference on bigger wrist.
I went for the 114270 because of the solid end links but also the lume is luminova as opposed to tritium so it doesn't degrade. This was a big deal since it's my everyday watch. Also, keep in mind that the lug holes are drilled closer to the case on the 114270 so you likely want curved spring bars on it or the case will chew up your leather straps and my natos wouldn't even fit.
They certainly seemed to do a great deal of leveraging. ; o)
hehe leveraging that levreged the leverage heh
What’s the jacket? Schott?
Hey sir I have a question. Does the 14270 get tight when you are winding it and stop after a out 30-40 turns? Everything I read says they are supposed to have a slip clutch that protects it from over winding, and the crown just keeps turning. But I'm wondering if this feature started with the cal 3130?
you are correct as the mainspring is loaded and then ultimately fully wound it will get and feel tighter yes but the watch does have a slip clutch that will prevent over-winding..
Love the videos but your videographers need to sort out their focusing issue. It is so distracting looking at a focused backdrop with a blurred subject...
The focus in usually pretty good on the straight on shots but this time around it’s like the aperture is off a couple clicks and our wonderful host is on the wrong side of the DOF.
yep I agree this one was a little off and totally appreciate the feedback. We are actually working with some new gear and tools that we are still getting used to, a few new Len's and some monitors to increase the visuals a bit but I think the team is getting used to the gear integration!!
Craft & Tailored there is always a little learning curve with new gear! Doesn’t take away from the top quality content, especially when the content is about watches I own... Keep up the good work 😄
Craft & Tailored You are forgiven Cam
Hi Cam! Which jacket are you wearing here? Is that a Schott? Thank you for the video.
Beautiful. I own the latest iteration of this piece. But if I could pull off a 14270 ❤
You can do it!
This Watch is so cool 😎
I agree!!! less is always more
Another great video sir. Keep up with the great content!
Really wished you would show the watch more.
Classy casual clean and sturdy ..❤👌
exactly!! Glad you enjoyed this one!
I really enjoy all your videos, amazing choice of watches, and always some interesting facts. But I wish the video quality was a bit better. Maybe try less compression? Smaller aperture so that more stuff is in focus? Camera with better AF? I’m not sure, but I do wish I could see those sweet watches in crispy sharp 4K, or even sharper 1080 for that matter.
Anyways, it’s just a thought. I’ll keep watching even without it :).
Thanks for the feedback will pass this info along to our team and see if it makes sense for us to film in 4k. I know 4k makes the gear run hot and rips through the batts quickly we have some new gear in the works and some additional tools that will allow for 4k. I love 4k as well but I think most viewers watch it in 1080 on a mobile device but I think it may be possible with some gear upgrades to get these done in 4k! sincerely appreciate the feedback, we are always honing the content knife over here and are progressing with each video!!
Hi, anyone knows the weight of the 14270?
Nice video could be a lot more informative about the watch objectively like your previous videos, Bark & Jack and TGV do a rally great job explaining this watch!
Thanks for the feedback! noted for sure!
The birth year watch point is smart. I’d rather have a better condition from the era of my birth instead of a sub par one sold on the day of my birth.🤷🏻♂️
I thought all 14270 had hollow end links. SEL didn’t exist on the Explorer line until the 2001 114279
Thanks Cam, you know back in the day I passed on a couple of really nice 1016’s purely because they are too small on my wrist and now I keep thinking about getting one again but knowing the price the 1016’s were then and what they go for now I can’t bring myself to do it Lol
Currently waiting on a explorer 39 but if that takes too long maybe this is the answer.
Cheers mate
I really like the 14270 its the perfect blend of vintage meets modern I have had a couple of exp 39's come through my hands and I like the 36mm as it fits my skinny ass wrists the execution of the Exp 1's is a good blend of dress meets sport!
Been waiting for this one! Wearing my ref. 114270
Killer watches!!
Already asked another commenter, but curious... do you run into issues with straps on yours? I had to get some curved spring bars because the lug holes are closer to the case than in previous versions and my thicker straps were getting chewed up.
Cheers!
I want to purchase one but going to wait at least six months. The flu financial depression might effect prices by then. Speculation on my part but I aient got no dog in the fight yet.
Add “leverage” to the description of anything to sound smarter!
"Pierced-Lugs" is the correct way to say, never say "Holes-Case", okay... ;)
There are no Explorer 1 models only Explorer & Explorer II.😀😀😀😀😀😀
He sounds so much like Anderson Cooper.
He does!!! Good call!
