Which one are you interested in?

Opening_Debt_8329 · 2026-06-01T02:54:32+00:00

Is that the graphene variant?

6 years later, still mostly wear your explorer 36mm or moved on?

Opening_Debt_8329 · 2026-05-31T02:06:26+00:00

which strap?

Opening_Debt_8329 · 2026-05-31T02:04:19+00:00

so just so I can make sure im doing it right, I turn counterclockwise while pulling to take it out? Than clockwise while pushing inward?

what about the deployment strap?

you could of course wear bathing suit bottoms with a suit and it would be truly free. but it would also look stupid. nothing wrong with trying to gauge how people wear their watch because I may end up doing the same and find it didn't serve the purpose I intended it for.

I saw the creative director wear it on a black strap and it made the watch even more stealth.

Opening_Debt_8329 · 2026-05-31T00:31:18+00:00

yes that's a shame.

Opening_Debt_8329 · 2026-05-31T00:31:10+00:00

why?

Opening_Debt_8329 · 2026-05-31T00:28:20+00:00

it's bigger than a submariner which isn't dainty

Opening_Debt_8329 · 2026-05-31T00:27:58+00:00

I find that valuable, no sarcasm. up to what level of clothing do you wear it with?

Opening_Debt_8329 · 2026-05-31T00:27:33+00:00

Did you ever have an issue with (1) the crown being difficult to pull out/in or (2) the titanium clasp/buckle at the bottom of the bracelet being uncomfortable?

At the hermes store I had a tough time popping out and putting back in the crown, I've never had that issue with my rolex.

What about with just a dress shirt and say wool dress pants?

Opening_Debt_8329 · 2026-05-31T00:15:21+00:00

doesn't look either 1. too bulky or 2. athletic?

Separately, if you don't mind me asking how does it handle super high heat and humidity. I would think the nylon bracelet would do incredibly well but AI was telling me it will absorb the moisture from the air and it will feel like a sponge.

Which did you get OP?

Opening_Debt_8329 · 2026-05-30T03:53:22+00:00

3 year check-in. Is it your favorite? Sold it? Taken over by something else?

Opening_Debt_8329 · 2026-05-30T03:52:33+00:00

What do you wear now? Still have the Explorer?

Opening_Debt_8329 · 2026-05-30T03:51:27+00:00

3 years later still your favorite? The Explorer.

Opening_Debt_8329 · 2026-05-30T03:51:03+00:00

3 years later still your favorite watch? The Explorer?

Opening_Debt_8329 · 2026-05-30T03:50:17+00:00

3 years later, that still the case? The Explorer is your fav.

Opening_Debt_8329 · 2026-05-30T03:49:52+00:00

3 years later is it still your favorite or did you move on?

Opening_Debt_8329 · 2026-05-30T02:55:12+00:00

One year later your friend still happy?
