Hi everyone. I recently decided I really didn’t like owning a lot of watches, and for my upcoming 40th birthday, decided to consolidate into this Rolex Explorer 114270 from 2017.
I’ve always liked Rolexes from the early 2000s as I feel like they’re a good combination of vintage and modern. This watch really wears comfortably like my old Tudor Prince Date Day, plus it has the tooly charm of my Sinn 556i.
I think I’ve finally found the watch that is “me”: simple, dependable, understated (for a Rolex), and a bit boring.
The explorer is just such a great watch. If I had Rolex money, this is one I’d pick up without hesitation. Beautiful
Thanks! There was time in between getting this and selling the other ones. I feel like what works for me is just save up and buy the watch I want and then sell those that I haven’t worn in a while. It will reduce seller’s remorse to an extent. 😅
