Still The Best Rolex Watch EVER & Worth Upgrading? My Explorer 7 Years Later: New vs Old

Подробнее о видео

After 7 years, it's time to revisit my favorite Rolex of all time. But is it still the best Rolex in 2022? In this video I review the latest Rolex Explorer 36mm (ref. 124270) and compare it to my own now vintage Explorer 36mm (ref. 11270). I take a look at their similarities, differences, positives and negatives, how they fit into the history and evolution of the Explorer, and what makes them so utterly compelling. Is this still an underrated sweet spot in the market, or has the hype caught up with it? And is it worth upgrading to the latest offering from 2021? Join me for a revisit and review on a sunny day around Philadelphia to find out if the latest version of this do-it-all historic icon and beloved Urban Gentry classic has dethroned my own.
