Beautiful watch. Ive had mine since march 2019. Wear it all the time and not babied. Worn daily in the sea , shower, long walks, up mountains. Love my scratched up explorer - every scratch and mark is a testament to adventure . Keep exploring.
I purchased this watch in June ,and love it!! I do find though that it tends to run a little fast . I put it on a fitted black Everest band ,to dress it down a bit ...and its now my daily wearer.. Simple elegand design ,great readability and lume ...the perfect watch !!
Great production value .. I have a 114270 and a sub. Even though the sub is more “interesting” and “desirable” , the Explorer has actually been on my wrist for the most important days eg wedding day - just because of its comfort, versatility and wearability. will check out your videos. Thanks!
Thank you Kuoks, what a piece to mark for your wedding day, it now holds more value to you, good going. Have a look through the videos, I also do Q&A every Thursday going through questions from Sunday - Wednesday, let me know if you have anything in mind, I can respond. All the best
Excellent taste 👌. I too purchased the same watch last month as a quarentine 🎁 to myself. Classy, elegant and reserved. Doesn't scream for attention like some others.
Two of my favourite watches in one video! I bought the 214270 from an AD in Nov 2019 here in Vancouver. Really enjoying. Gold President is "on the list" though for the future - icon. M
Congrats man, that's fantastic! I'm on the wait list for the exact same model. Hoping to take my 20 watch collection down to 3...Rolex Explorer, Omega Speedmaster Hesalite, and Rolex Yachtmaster Rhodium.
For those who are on budget. I just bought and am waiting for it to arrive. A Quality Budget Piece. A Tisell Explorer Homage sapphire crystal Miyota High beat Movement 90s5 and it even has a glide lock bracelet all in stainless 318 grade
Oh humble beginnings.....but man, what a way to start. Your first video, and you choose quite possibly, the very best model, in the Rolex catalogue. Great minds think alike they say......and IMHO, this is the one. Does man really "need," anything more??? I think not. Cheers
Awesome watch. I have the shorty from 2016, and as much as I love it, I really like the update too. It's a little more sporty. Will I trade up? No I won't. Connection etc. Either way, gorgeous pieces at 39mm.
Dude, i hope u didnt sell it by now (specially with prices hike) but i have Explorer MK1, honestly its the only Rolex i would ever like to own. Different, cool, unique, not on every hand like Oysters / datejust / Subs, no other Rolex like it. And its low key is its biggest charm. And dont change its steel bracelet, the watch is perfect as is. Love Tasha btw, but Marina mall not Umm Suqeim 😛
Nice content.. lovely explorer watch. went to Rolex store in Dubai Mall today. I was put on waiting list. Cant wait to have my first Rolex.. hopefully soon.. 😎
Indeed Eric, I have got a comparison video coming out this week, submariner date vs. explorer. Have a look, it will assure you of explorer even more :)
@@WatchSociety watching some of your other vids are you in the Middle Eeast ? Dubai ? If you are you have to look up my buddy Marc killer collection, Pateks, AP, Rolex and everything in between he has a lot of Panerai too.
You have just described what I did in July. An OP36 (blue dial with 369 numeral) just 2 weeks after a DJ36. Telling myself to wait a year before getting the 214270. Not sure if this is achievable 😬
I've been debating between the Oyster Perpetual (black 39mm) versus the Explorer (39mm). It's a tough choice. Virtually all the pricing options I see for the two has the OP about $850 less in cost. I'm leaning OP, but both are phenomenal.
I had the same debate and went with the Explorer I. Due to the history of the watch and my recent trip to Everest Base Camp last year, I had to get it.
Ironic watching it now and seeing prices where they are for that reference. Best everyday watch and love the 39. Think about a NATO for it for a change instead of rubber B
It would be perfect (for me) if it would be 0.5 - 1 mm smaller (its nominal 39 mm but wears like 40 or even 41 mm) and the bezel would be a bit slimmer like on the 36 mm versions...therefore it's just almost perfect.
I really enjoyed this video and Great choice on the watch partner. On a side note I have to say that I don't like the bracelet and the watch on the same hand look but to each his own
Thank you Steve, the brushed oyster bracelet can be perceived of two extreme ends, some hate it and some love it, through the video you know where I stand with it :)
Mate. Your production is first class. Secondly I own this watch and it took a while to get from the A/D. Her in Melbourne Australia. It is by a mile the only watch you will ever need. It absolutely screams class and sophistication and I love it.
15000 less? The 40mm Explorer and the Submariner are barely 2,000 dollars apart in price lol. Even grey market youre looking at around 8-9500 for the explorer and 9500 to 12500 for the submariner. Did he mean Daytona?
DutchClawz box papers ? Condition ? Mk1 or mk2 dial ? Anything I’ve looked at that’s any good is above retail . But it’s a big world out there so fair play 👍🏻
Before I received mine I’m trying out a rubberB strap. Honestly, I wish I hadn’t purchased it.Totally NOT worth the money. RubberB shame on you for charging so much for a Velcro strap.
Wow more likes than subs that says a lot about your production Congrats! You deserve more subs btw!! Check my video on batgirl recently and polar bit before. Your video really amazing
Thank you, the channel is new and climbing up. Will check out your videos. Good going on the batgirl, I can’t wait to get my hands on it, still on the waitlist! Thank you once again for the support.
U.U.U Don’t think so my friend.Anyway mine’s priceless as it was a milestone birthday present from my wife and daughter. I’ll never sell it and besides it won’t be worth less than I paid for it by the time I’ve shuffled off this planet.🤔
Beautiful watch. Ive had mine since march 2019. Wear it all the time and not babied. Worn daily in the sea , shower, long walks, up mountains. Love my scratched up explorer - every scratch and mark is a testament to adventure . Keep exploring.
The most beautiful, subtle, simplistic Rolex watch one can buy.
All around everyday watch...a true winner. Thanks for the video.
Bought mine from a reseller 1 month ago. Can't stop admiring the watch everytime I wear it. Fantastic timepiece :)
Just love the simplicity of it. Not fussy and easy to read.
Very true and well said!
By far the best video iv seen on this watch - it’s the extra lifestyle shots with your friend wearing the watch that help so much
Thank you
I purchased this watch in June ,and love it!!
I do find though that it tends to run a little fast .
I put it on a fitted black Everest band ,to dress it down a bit ...and its now my daily wearer..

Thank you Thomas for watching, indeed it’s a fantastic watch. Good going changing the strap, I’m considering a black rubberb and can’t wait to try it.

Rolex Explorer 214270 and the G-Shock GW-M5610 are all I wear, the Explorer is just simple done well and that makes it watch perfection.
Fantastic watch I’ve owned mine for just over 1 year and am still loving this classic timepiece. Wear in good health 👍
Indeed it is and it’s a keeper.
Thank you Malc.
Best watch in Rolex catalogue. Love it.
For those who are on budget. I just bought and am waiting for it to arrive. A Quality Budget Piece. A Tisell Explorer Homage sapphire crystal Miyota High beat Movement 90s5 and it even has a glide lock bracelet all in stainless 318 grade
Just purchased mine and couldn’t be happier. It definitely called out to me more than the other sports models. Great choice!
Congratulations David
Picked up mine 3 days ago at AD in Serbia, Belgrade. Price 6150 eur.
Congratulations :)

I've had mine since Feb. this year, love it.
It’s definitely a keeper, check it out on a RubberB th-cam.com/video/ebu4S4H2bOQ/w-d-xo.html
Picked mine up yesterday at the AD. This piece is just perfect!
Congrats 🎉 its worth every penny.
Wear it in good health :)
How much does it run new through AD? Congrats on the great pickup!

Classy and sporty at the same time, so much love for it!

All the watch you will ever need, that’s it.
Great video man,
I like the Explorer-I so well I bought a backup.
If I could only have one watch for a lifetime, that would be it.
Thanks!
Mike D though I can see someone getting the 36mm and the 39mm. I know, I’d like to
Great watch ... can easily be the "single watch collection" watch.
Indeed, thank you Doug

This channel is going to blow up. Good content.
Thank you Guy :)
Thank you for your time. Keep the President and the Explorer I. No better collection anywhere ❤️
The most comfortable watch I own. Classic!
Should you really avoid the MK1? Personally the hands are totally fine in my view. And the WG numerals look great.
Great watch! If I ever bought a Rolex, the Explorer would be my first choice!
Nice content.. lovely explorer watch. went to Rolex store in Dubai Mall today. I was put on waiting list. Cant wait to have my first Rolex.. hopefully soon.. 😎
Just got this watch and she is absolute perfection!
Indeed it is
When I’m doubt-buy the watch. No doubts. No regrets.
Indeed Eric, I have got a comparison video coming out this week, submariner date vs. explorer. Have a look, it will assure you of explorer even more :)
Subbed :)
I love the explorer
Dont have but I will get one day I'm sure it looks really nice
Great video and editing ! I'm saving for this same watch currently just subscribed
The Watch Lounge thank you, it’s a keeper no doubt.
@@WatchSociety watching some of your other vids are you in the Middle Eeast ? Dubai ? If you are you have to look up my buddy Marc killer collection, Pateks, AP, Rolex and everything in between he has a lot of Panerai too.
The Watch Lounge yes I am, sure thing, will look up Marc Killer collection, many thanks.
Your buddy banging his gold ring against the case and bracelet.... awesome.
Andy G and left his other watch on top of a laptop to get magnetised 😂
You have just described what I did in July. An OP36 (blue dial with 369 numeral) just 2 weeks after a DJ36. Telling myself to wait a year before getting the 214270. Not sure if this is achievable 😬
You always can, putting your own prospective.

Drew Hunkins I had a similar choice. The Explorer won for me. The history and fact it’s a sports watch u can easily dress it down easier then a OP.
Hey Drew, check out my Q&A video, covers answers for Explorer Vs. OP39 and thoughts. Hope you enjoy it

@@wudemaya Great choice. Really can't go wrong either way.
@@MPD90 Thanks for the info.
Nice selection. Wear it and enjoy!
Explorer a nice piece they gone up since your video.. Subbed bro👊🏾
Thank you bro, the prices did really go up 😅
Ironic watching it now and seeing prices where they are for that reference. Best everyday watch and love the 39. Think about a NATO for it for a change instead of rubber B
Wow incredible filming
Hey man great vid! What reference is the gold watch of your friend?
GREAT video....Thank You Sir.
Glad you’ve enjoyed it

Thank you Ron for sharing.
Ron Power if it was 38 you would want 39 or 40
did you have a chance to try on the black dial OP39 114300 before purchasing this? If so, what were your thoughts in comparison?
In fact I did and still own it, with a red rubber B strap on it. Will include pictures of it on my Instagram have a look @watchsociety_
Hey Flyinb45 check out my Q&A video, covers answers for your OP39 and thoughts. Hope you enjoy it
Both of those Rolex's looked stunning on Bilal's wrist! Great review, sir! >..
Yep... that's the perfect watch. Nice video review!
Thank you
I purchased mine July 30, 2019 at an AD in a Toronto suburb, Mississauga.
Den N how much did you end up paying? Also looking for this watch in the GTA, thanks.
I really enjoyed this video and Great choice on the watch partner. On a side note I have to say that I don't like the bracelet and the watch on the same hand look but to each his own

It’s indeed a keeper, thank you Jason. Enjoy it and wear in good health mate.
Are you originally from Dubai? Very nice watches by the way. Very hard to stop buying lol
Great vid ! I subscribed ! Cheers
Thank you, let me know if you have any questions we can add to the next Thursday Q&A. Or watches you would like to see a review on.
Congrats- timeless classic. Enjoy 😉
Bought a Sub now want the Exp ! 😄
You won’t regret it :)
Get both 😁
Explorer and Submariner is my son’s two watch collection
Great video
Thanks for helping
Beautiful watch, careful with the bracelet banging against the case back
Nice , can wear it anytime :) good choice
Where did you get it? I’ve had no luck where I live
Not the most difficult in ME and can be arranged.
@@WatchSociety Montenegro?
If he’s in the states then I’m assuming Maine
@@SickStyle201 I think he is based in Dubai, not U.S.
Middle East perhaps
15000 less? The 40mm Explorer and the Submariner are barely 2,000 dollars apart in price lol. Even grey market youre looking at around 8-9500 for the explorer and 9500 to 12500 for the submariner. Did he mean Daytona?
Interesting video, Regards, Giorgia Mondani.
Five minutes later and some scratches added by that ring.
I noticed that as well.. his buddy is just letting it slide up and down his gold ring... wtf
Put my name down for one today quoted 6-12 month wait in the UK
Michael Dance Put my name down for one at a AD in the uk a month ago, told 3 to 6 months. Visited them a few days ago, said possibly May, who knows.
Ill buy one when they go under retail second hand. I refuse to pay over retail for anything
Lookout for my follow up video on the explorer, will post it shorty.
th-cam.com/video/XL0ve5sXtdc/w-d-xo.html
Think you’ll be waiting a life time unfortunately my friend
Dave Already got one😂 4 workdays wait it was
DutchClawz box papers ? Condition ? Mk1 or mk2 dial ?
Anything I’ve looked at that’s any good is above retail . But it’s a big world out there so fair play 👍🏻
An enthusiasts watch
Nice watch, but the noise of your shots are quite scary....
Thank you for watching, one of the earlier videos and working on bettering video/audio quality. Thank you once again for the honest comment. :)
If you have a 17cm wrist or less dont go for it. Its to BIG. Go for the 36mm
Very true
Watch Society but i respect your taste. You just got yourself the most beautifull design rolex ever made.
Thank you, I wish you do too. Let me know if you have any questions, will make sure to add on my next Q&A session. Stay well and tc.
Watch Society oke i will try to think about one :)!
Watch Society i have the 114270 36mm btw. Just as beautifull, only the bracelet is just less than yours ofcourse. But thats just the way they were😁
Mesmerizing
Perfect 1 watch!

That's not a watch. it's a Roooooolexxxxx. Late to the game but I bought my Rolex Explorer I 2020 yesterday :-D hehehe
Congratulations 🎉
Mark 2 is too much flashy, I prefer mark1
It's just called Rolex Explorer, Ref. 214270. There is no One.
Theres always one who comments this 😒
Love this watch! This is my main watch too. Check out my channel to see my vids.
Soon as the Subs come back the value of this watch will tank.
We’ll be compost by then.
Naaaah
U.U.U your an idiot
