A Review of my 36mm Rolex Explorer ref. 124270. After covering this watch and the many evolutions of the Explorer for what must be 5 years, to finally own one and appreciate the subtleties of the newest reference has made the experience so cathartic. From its extremely wearable size and discretion its to well executed dial, there's nothing about this watch that makes you yearn for more. One lesson I've learnt from this is experience is that the Explorer can be seen as an end in itself, not a means to an end.
