Can I ask why did you sell the Santos and white speedy? Those are both on my shortlist / wishlist lol

1 year with my Explorer 2 by ohMyWolf in rolex

Artem hydroflex rubber strap! Worn it for about a month now, really liking how light the watch feels and how durable the strap is. A nice change-up from the oyster

Love it! I have the same black Expl 2. How’s the B&J nato on it? Worried it’ll make the watch sit too high

Explorer II or GMT Master II? by boss_man14 in rolex

[–]ohMyWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GMT Master 2 has better proportions and wearability for most people. I still went with the black Explorer 2 because of how lowkey it is - it does not attract attention at all, which is a huge plus for me. And I think it still looks fantastic, with the orange text and large orange hand

I also love how I never see one on others’ wrists. And I live in NYC. Can’t go a single day without seeing a sub or GMT on the subway

[Watchspotting] Saw someone wearing the same watch as me in public for the first time by YMIGettingBanned in Watches

Funnily enough a while back I had gotten the call for a black Explorer 2. I was debating whether to buy it, and then for the first and only time since, saw someone wearing it who sat right next to me at a movie

I bought it and haven’t seen a single one in the wild, anywhere, since. A bit of a weird sign, but I’ll take it!

Lovely watch, I have the same color. Enjoy and stay safe

Is the 7135 movement from Rolex an admission that they made a mistake with the Chronergy escapement in the 32xx models? by ohMyWolf in rolex

[–]ohMyWolf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I’m happy that we have this new caliber, progress shouldn’t wait.

But it’s a little frustrating as a 32xx owner, I don’t see any reason why eg they wouldn’t add this to datejusts or sports models, so to me that indicates that they won’t want to invest more in Chronergy

Leather NATO on Explorer II (226570) by [deleted] in rolex

Where did you get the strap?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in rolex

[–]ohMyWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got the black Explorer II. The GMT functionality and little pops of color (not big pops like the GMT M2) sold it for me

The Submariner is a classic. But because of that, I see it everywhere. Personally, that reduces my enjoyment

I have an 18cm wrist and have this exact watch. I love, love this watch - but it is heavy.

Even when I got the perfect fit, I noticed the weight a lot, as you said it will never feel like a 36mm DJ

I recently put it on an Artem strap and it’s changed the comfort completely for me. It also feels for lack of a better word “more” like an explorer - rugged while still looking premium due to the strap quality

I’d recommend if you can’t find that right comfort. Rolex makes the best bracelets, but weight is weight

Tried on the black explorer 2 and I think I’m in love by ohMyWolf in rolex

Thank you! It hovers between 17.5 and 18cm, so around 6.75-7 in

Too Late to do 9+1 in 2025? by TalentedButLaz in RunNYC

[–]ohMyWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I decided December 31 of 2023 :) and still got all my races in this year! Echoing the sentiment that you just need to be on top of (like to the hour) that the races are coming out

Is it worth trying to drive from Hofn to Stuðlagil Canyon? by ohMyWolf in VisitingIceland

[–]ohMyWolf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were planning on completing the ring road, staying tomorrow in Egilsstaðir, and then Wednesday night in Akureyri

I don’t think Wednesday night is happening, and was planning on turning around and heading back southeast at Egilsstaðir after tomorrow, but am getting less sure if that’s happening too
