Thanks for summing it all up, Larry!

beowulf566 · 24 March 2011, 09:12 AM

I am really liking this one too!

42mm isnt a deal breaker for me. I just hope they dont get carried away with going bigger.

rfknauss · 24 March 2011, 09:34 AM

Larry, I like it ..... although, I like the black dial version also ........ great job of providing all the details ..... and fab pics!

Me too!

You on the list already!?

I'll join you tomorrow.

Interesting that the movement will be a 3187. That means the 3186 16570's are really transitional.

directioneng · 24 March 2011, 09:37 AM

I just rang my AD and ordered one.

Excellent work Rolex.

Michael M. · 24 March 2011, 09:37 AM

Nice work Larry, love it!!!!

dajuicejml · 24 March 2011, 09:40 AM

when will these new models actually be on the market?

My AD said I would be the first one to get one or even try it on, having said that, don't expect it before summer at the earliest

Jede · 24 March 2011, 09:53 AM

I think I can skip the first heat and buy one second hand. However, I feel that it's a must have :)

nauticajoe · 24 March 2011, 09:55 AM

Beautiful!

Thanks Larry.

onkyo · 24 March 2011, 09:56 AM

Thanks for the hi res pics Larry.

Can't wait to see it in real life.

Nica64 · 24 March 2011, 09:58 AM

Beautiful!!

gregmoeck · 24 March 2011, 09:59 AM

wow, looks fantastic

G.D.BeanCounter · 24 March 2011, 10:01 AM

Totally Awesome!!! Curious to see the new size in person.

mike · 24 March 2011, 10:02 AM

Major Home Run.

frazierspa · 24 March 2011, 10:07 AM

WOW! Beautiful! At 42MM this could be my next watch!

Love the look of the new explorer. Awesome stuff rolex. Doesnt really matter that they didnt update the crown to triplock!!

ArthurU · 24 March 2011, 10:39 AM

This is more than quite attractive.

threemonkeys · 24 March 2011, 11:07 AM

I'm digging this.

Perdu · 24 March 2011, 11:16 AM

That's a great looking upgrade. I love the highly visible GMT hand. If I ever get a second Rolex this may be it.

AWS · 24 March 2011, 11:23 AM

Very nice.....can't wait to see it in person!

Bigboss · 24 March 2011, 11:24 AM

Price????

DavidSW -> Can you get me one?? ;-)

SubKing · 24 March 2011, 11:26 AM

im lovin it!

mpkRolex · 24 March 2011, 11:32 AM

LOVE IT!!!!!! :) Wonder what the price would be... damn..I got to start saving for it now

Beef · 24 March 2011, 11:59 AM

Well, I am excited, but the 42mm is somewhat of a disappointment. The DSSD is 42mm but requires the bulk for the extra depth rating (which no one will ever need, but....) The new EXP II has the bigger case "just because." Form over function. Which is not what a tool watch is all about. I'll still buy one, though. I do love the look and all the other improvements are perfect. Interesting, but my old 1655 is one of my lightest and most comfortable vintage watches.

Beef · 24 March 2011, 11:59 AM

Sorry, double post! And Larry, thanks for the great pics!

SteveArn · 24 March 2011, 12:06 PM

I've been married for nearly 27 years so don't tell my wife that I've fallen in love again.

It offers better variety within the Rolex family. They claim a "crown for every achievement" they now have a watch for every wrist.

Bravo Rolex.
