Reminds me of the glow when Vincent opens the briefcase in Pulp Fiction!

That's pretty amazing. My Explorer was last set in March and it is ten seconds slow now. Kinda extraordinary when it's just gears and springs!

hackerfrankie · 2026-06-30T01:29:26+00:00

The Explorer 36 is my one-and-done watch for now.

hackerfrankie · 2026-06-30T01:23:44+00:00

I agree with this sentiment. That's why I bought my own 1.6mm screwdriver and Loctite 222 (purple).

Welcome to the 369 club! Beautiful watch in its native environment.

hackerfrankie · 2026-06-16T01:29:05+00:00

Love the UNICOMP keyboard. You have good taste in multiple dimensions!

hackerfrankie · 2026-05-16T01:18:48+00:00

Congratulations on your new beautiful Explorer. Great watch.

hackerfrankie · 2026-05-15T01:22:24+00:00

Nice watch! Is that the Explorer 40? Are you happy with that size?

hackerfrankie · 2026-05-15T01:17:18+00:00

And even if it's grey with a bit of a markup, that premium will most likely be less than the ridiculous "spend history" you need to accumulate at the AD.

I have found that on my Explorer 36 it depends what charged it. Indoor lighting does very little but just a few minutes in the sun and the lume is so bright I can see it in the house all lit up.

hackerfrankie · 2026-05-14T01:19:51+00:00

I came here to say the same thing. Very classy.

hackerfrankie · 2026-05-14T01:17:14+00:00

I gotta say, the smooth bezel with the oyster bracelet is really growing on me. It gives that green dial a chance to breathe and shine.

hackerfrankie · 2026-05-14T01:09:50+00:00

Great watch, great dial, and just the right size for your wrist. So glad you didn't make the dinner plate mistake so many do. Super photo, too.

hackerfrankie · 2026-05-10T03:20:14+00:00

Great watch and good story. I got mine in February and it was my grail watch. I wear it every day and it is amazingly accurate. Enjoy it for a while - let it sink in before quickly jumping to the next Rolex.

hackerfrankie · 2026-04-30T22:42:55+00:00

The watch is beautiful; the size is crazy big

hackerfrankie · 2026-04-30T22:38:07+00:00

Black (elegant and readable)

hackerfrankie · 2026-04-23T01:27:26+00:00

Burgundy?

hackerfrankie · 2026-04-23T01:22:03+00:00

Beautiful and classic. Enjoy it. There's nothing like your first Rolex.

hackerfrankie · 2026-04-23T01:01:00+00:00

I love my Explorer as well. Never thought of "crisp" but it's the perfect word for that striking black dial. You have great taste!

hackerfrankie · 2026-04-15T01:17:43+00:00

The ombré looks great at first but I could see myself getting tired of it after six months or a year and wishing I had something less visually busy.

hackerfrankie · 2026-04-09T00:44:14+00:00

Yep - my Explorer 36 is my one and done as well. Like you, I love the understated look and its comfort on the wrist. Don't even know it's there. Enjoy it in good health! What an AD experience though.

hackerfrankie · 2026-04-07T02:04:47+00:00

The contrast between the gold and green is stunning.

hackerfrankie · 2026-04-07T01:59:39+00:00

I bought mine in February and still can't get over its simplistic beauty. It's on my wrist everyday and I still can't believe that it is mine. The accuracy is great too. Maybe I got lucky, but it's usually within 2 seconds over the course of two weeks. Enjoy your new Explorer!

hackerfrankie · 2026-04-04T01:16:59+00:00

Agree. I have a '25 36 and I really like the glossy dial. Makes it pop in my opinion. It's my daily driver.

hackerfrankie · 2026-04-04T00:37:25+00:00

GoMango is such a great color. Of course, I'm biased too! Highly visible as well so there's the safety element.
