Nothing but their "coming soon" nonsense on Rolex.com when I look at whether typing in the URL or going through Google. You're link works thoughwhat-time-is-it wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 12:45 pm Went on the website at 11am this morning.

Re: Steel and gold explorer
Shame the Explorers haven't been given much of a refresh, other than the new bimetal option. They look the same?

Re: Steel and gold explorer
Ah of course, so no more 39mm. Not that you'd ever find both to try on and compare in store anyway!

^^^^^ I can't tell if it's also still available in 39mm or not, the sites a bit of a car crash for me just now.

Re: Steel and gold explorer
You know the saying, if you can't say something nice...I know Rolex has glamed up nearly every other watch in their catalog, but an Explorer? The only true tool left has no place at this table IMO.
Time and money? I’ve spent most of mine on booze and women. The rest I just wasted…

Picture the scene - Rolex Marketing Geneva
2020 - “I reckon we should release a load of smartie lurid dial Oyster Perpetuals, to see if anyone goes for them”.
2021 - “well last year’s joke with those coloured OP dials worked. What about a TT Explorer?”
“Good idea, that will really mess with their heads”.

Re: Steel and gold explorer
TT explorer = serious contradiction in terms...
watching you fail in your quest for a “one watch” has been great entertainment

Re: Steel and gold explorer
I love the Explorer and I will probably get a TT watch at some point, but on first glance this combo doesn't work.
Having looked a little more on the Rolex website, the gold edged hands and indices do appear to tie it all together a bit better than first impressions. £8,700 vs £5,150 for the standard Explorer.

Re: Steel and gold explorer
It's my understanding according to Jennie Elle, they have dropped the 39mm steel Explorer, only 36 available????. Makes no sense. I always thought I would own one at some point, but 36mm on my 8" or 21mm wrist is pretty small. I don't know....does smaller, more compact, make a better tool?
