Other: When Rolex announced in 2021 that they were downsizing the iconic Explorer 1 back to its original size of 36mm, we were ecstatic. 36mm should be the ONLY size for the Explorer 1 in our humble opinion... It looks and wears so much like the older 36mm 14270 and 114270, but comes with a much more solid bracelet, upgraded movement, and better lume. Speaking of the updated bracelet, Rolex downsized the lug width to 19mm with a more appropriate taper down to the flip-lock clasp. We love that the bracelet is all brushed (as it should be) with an EasyLink adjustment for added comfort. The case proportions of the 36mm model make it suitable for daily wear in practically any situation. And the robust no-date movement with 70-hour power reserve provides a lot of value at this price point. It's hard to believe that this sport watch is available for LESS than the current MSRP! We acquired it directly from the original owner who purchased it brand new at a Rolex Authorized Dealer in July of 2021 and wore it only sparingly. It comes as a full set with the original inner and outer boxes, outer sleeve, July 2021 warranty card, booklets, bezel protector, full links, and both hang-tags (including the matching white serial hang-tag). If you want to read more about the immense wearability of this watch, we really enjoyed Keegan Allen's perspective over at HODINKEE.
