Member X 91 Posted October 19, 2010 Thought about the 39mm 2010 Explorer 1? They're lovely and I'm lost without mine while it's being serviced! Both the listed ones are nice though, can't really go wrong with either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sugaray 0 Posted October 19, 2010 I just dont like the look of the 39mm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GC 4,554 Posted October 19, 2010 normally i would opt for the datejust... but this one has a smooth bezel, i prefer the fluted bezel. so my vote goes to the explorer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pentax 0 Posted October 19, 2010 How big is your wrist? If you have a small wrist I would go with the DJ id you have a big wrist then with the explorer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rda1 0 Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) How big is your wrist? If you have a small wrist I would go with the DJ id you have a big wrist then with the explorer Seeing as the explorer is next on my shopping list id say that one.....but speedzmasters datejust in this thread is amazing http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...=8561&st=20 Edited October 19, 2010 by rda1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dingle 57 Posted October 19, 2010 normally i would opt for the datejust... but this one has a smooth bezel, i prefer the fluted bezel. so my vote goes to the explorer ah GC....smooth is the way to go.... this one is from Mary as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 84 Posted October 19, 2010 I like both smooth AND fluted.... Is there something wrong with me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brightlight 0 Posted October 19, 2010 I like both smooth AND fluted.... Is there something wrong with me? Yep. But nothing to do with smooth and fluted................... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dingle 57 Posted October 19, 2010 I like both smooth AND fluted.... Is there something wrong with me? nope....fluted is for old folks........and smooth for us young whippersnappers.....talking about rollies here so you are old......but you feel young inside :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted October 19, 2010 You're probably right about that Dingle. But those real gold gen bezels just flash so much out in the sun. Especially the white gold ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Member X 91 Posted October 19, 2010 I tried on the gen Explorer 1, 39 mm this weekend. What a lovely watch that is! ooh, really? The new one? I didn't think it was out yet! I think it's probably the only gen rolex I'd buy - having had the rep it really is completely versatile with none of the associated usual 'ohhh, it's a submariner...' and everything that comes with it :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NFleischer 4,355 Posted October 19, 2010 I prefer the DJ. I like having the date and I actually like the cyclops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sugaray 0 Posted October 20, 2010 I know that the explorer is closer to the gen. because of its simplicity. but how close to the gen. do you think the datejust will be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
