Rolex Explorer 114270 - A year on the wrist and many summits!

Checking out my Rolex 114270 - 36mm Explorer from 2004. Also, a bonus quick look size comparison with my 38mm Hamilton Field Khaki Automatic.
This is a great everyday Rolex.

Purchased a NOS 114270 last month and it’s not left my wrist since! This video really helped me on that purchasing journey… thanks man 🙏

Thanks, enjoy it, finding an NOS is amazing!

Great video. Thank you for sharing your 114270 with us. The condition on that looks pristine, and from a style perspective, is just as relevant today as it was when it was made. Appreciated your story of another climber recognize it on a hike. I was able to get a 124270 from my AD and agree with you on the size. Lug to Lug it wears like a 38mm.

My 114270 is the watch I would keep, if I would sell anything else...36 mm is perfect for an classic everyday watch, even thou some will disagree...36 mm oyster case on an old style oyster bracelet is as comfy as it gets.

I have a 42mm seamaster, then I got a 36 mm explorer. It took me 1-2 days to adjust to the size. After spending some time now I think 36 mm size is like an ideal size for a comfortable wrist watch and my 42 seamaster kinda looks stupid to my eyes, unfortunatelly :(
Wrist size 7inch.

I just bought the 34 mm oyster perpetual 114200 blue explorer dial.I love this simple watch.

It’s worth the wait!

Finally, a comparison to the Field Khaki. I’ve been wearing one of these for a while and my DJ is long gone. So I wasn’t sure if I’d like the 26 explorer. Now I think it’s going to be perfect.

Awesome review. I just picked one up myself. I can't wait. Looks like a great wearing watch with its specs.

Great video as usual and no doubt that the Rolex Explorer is a beautiful and top notch watch. Many thanks for sharing.

[@JustWatchreviews]

Thanks Nacho 🍻

Have a Explorer ref 114270 z series from 2007 it's my favorite watch. I just need a Submariner no date and I'm done with Rolex

[@inlandwatchreviews5745]

Great video, love the Rolex explorer , the cost is getting crazy on these. The Hamilton is a great watch, I love the mechanical hand wind.

[@andyplace1785]

Awesome watch. I have a 7.25” wrist and was worried it might be too small, but I might give it a shot and go with the 36mm. Simple and perfect dial on the explorer; a true classic.

[@JustWatchreviews]

It will be your favorite watch

[@vantage789]

Really love the 114270. I have a 124270 and in every way it’s a superior watch but I do kind of wish the bracelet didn’t taper so aggressively.
Have you compared the two in person?

[@DesertTriDad]

Love the explorer, hopeful to have one some day. Had the explorer II and have since been lusting for a 36 explorer. Also cool to see next to the hami. The hami is such a good value, loved mine on various natos.

[@SuperAJ360]

I also do own F series 114270,, Great company for a lifetime!!

[@ralfrufus3691]

Wonderful review. Thank you.

[@LukeyPark]

How come you don't make videos anymore

[@Agrippa31BC]

Got my 2009 114270 long ago, paid $3500. Could profit a lot, but I wouldn’t seek it for anything in the world.

[@elchango8862]

I mean you can get them for 4,500-5,500. Not much of a profit.

[@justingalore123]

First few seconds I thought there was an ant on my screen!

[@pompenchiel]

Very cool video! How do you feel about the new explorer. As a new buyer would you pick the new explorer or the old 36mm?

Hello, how are you? It's been a while, hope everything's ok

[@AVCISI]

good

[@TheGopher911]

Would you be able to recommend your watch servicer

[@marcdee4427]

Nice watch but to small for me , loved the 39mm

[@mauriciofernandez6290]

I just bought the same watch, 6 months ago I think I paid to much 😔

[@elchango8862]

What did you pay?

[@explorerjlc1743]
