First Rolex-Explorer I
Hello everyone. Proud to post a pic of my first Rolex. Bought it second hand, but its in very nice condition. F series with the updated movement and SEL band. I was torn between this and a newer Air King, but I just loved the classic look of the dial and hands.
Can anyone recommend a decent priced winder? Thanks George |

Lovely watch and the better choice in my opinion. I don't know much about winders but I would recommend putting in on your wrist and enjoying every minute of it. Don't worry about the winders

Welcome George! Great watch. Don't worry about a winder. Just give it a manual winding every couple days to keep it going if it's not in your rotation. And if it stops, just set the time quickly since there's no date to fuss with.
Thanks for sharing! |

Congrats, but wouldn't spend on a winder for it. Simple to wind/set if you don't wear it daily.

Great choice. Its a classic look that will look great for years to come. The best winder as others have stated is your wrist. Enjoy!
