The Rolex Explorer - Review
I recently purchased an Explorer 114270 M serial, I've wanted this watch for 2 years before finally pulled the trigger.Although I have seen a big veriaty of Rolex models in my life, regardless to my low age, the Explorer always had something else IMO, when I first admired it on someones hand, I was actually on a train telling my friend that this is a great looking watch, I guess I said it loud enough for the person who wore it to hear me and approach, he asked me if I liked the watch, and when answered yes, he said I have a good taste and showed me it's a Rolex.Since that the Explorer represented IMO a Rolex that doesn't shout Rolex, and looks classicly elegant yet sporty at the same time.I am also not a technologist and can't give too much details about the movement and dial but I'll try giving a short review on the watch based on other reviews i've seen in this section:The Rolex Explore ref.114270:Movement: Rolex inhouse 3130 calibre (the 3135 calibre without the date feature).

It's confidence inspiring that the logo on the dial stands for decades of mechanical and design innovation. Furthermore, in an era where mergers, stockholders and dividends are all commonplace, the Rolex Coronet virtually stands alone; atop a heap of companies specializing in
