WHY THIS WATCH

The Rolex Explorer was Rolex’s first sports watch, when it got introduced way back in 1953. This watch was marketed and produced to be a rugged adventure watch. This particular model, the 214270, was introduced at Basel-World in 2010. This was a major release as Rolex made some very big changes to the Explorer. Rolex upped the case size to 39mm, introduced the solid-link 904L steel bracelet, and updated the movement with the introduction of the Calibre 3132 movement.
 
The watch was very controversial when it was released for a few reasons. First, not everyone was happy with upgraded size to 39mm. Additionally, there was the lack of lume on the 3, 6, and 9 markers. For some reason Rolex decided to replace the lume filled markers with solid white gold markers instead. Many found this to be unacceptable as this is a sports watch after all, and lume is a must. Additionally, the Mercedes hands seemed too short for the dial of the now larger 39mm case. This dial configuration was to be called the Mark 1 dial (or Mark I, or “Blackout”), and is now considered the less desirable version of the 39mm explorer.
 
In 2016, Rolex actually listened to collectors and made some revisions to the 39mm explorer. The hands were widened and lengthened to match the profile the new bigger dial. Most importantly, Rolex brought back the lume-filled indices at 3,6, and 9. This dial configuration is called the Mark 2 (or Mark ii) dial and is considered the more desirable dial configuration.

WHY THIS WATCH 

The Rolex GMT-Master was first conceptualized in partnership with Pan Am Airways, specifically for their crews on long-haul flights, and was supplied by Pan Am. The watch's unique feature is its ability to display two distinct time zones simultaneously. The original GMT-Master includes a fourth 24-hour hand that mirrors the time shown by the regular 12-hour hand. This GMT hand allows the wearer to align the main time display with Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or any other timezone, and then adjust the rotatable 24-hour scale bezel to track a second timezone. The acronym 'GMT' originates from Greenwich Mean Time, which is also known as Coordinated Universal Time and serves as the standard timezone used in all aspects of aviation planning, weather forecasting, and scheduling.

 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

WHY THIS WATCH

Don't let it's simplicity, or entry level price fool you, the Rolex 116000 Oyster Perpetual is Rolex watchmaking at it's best.

Launched in 1931, the Oyster Perpetual line has deep roots. The "Oyster" refers to the world’s first water- and dust-proof wristwatch, launched by Rolex in 1926. The second half of the name is a nod to the automatic (self-winding) movement Rolex invented in 1931, powered by the perpetual motion of the wrist.

Rolex has since introduced 39mm Oyster Ps, but the 36mm pictured here remains our favorite.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch is from 2017 and comes with all that you see including inner green box, outer beige box, warranty card (dated July 2017) manuals, tags, and bezel guard. Watch is a one owner piece in excellent condition. Case has normal wear from everyday use, around 87%. Bracelet has some normal wear from everyday use, mostly around the deployment buckle, around 87%.

WHY THIS WATCH

A True Novelty 

 

First introduced in 2012, the Rolex SkyDweller celebrates it's first decade in 2022. Usually, I'd go into the history of the watch, but for this watch, that's not happening as this watch was a true novelty for Rolex. The SkyDweller was designed from the ground up, without any history to draw upon, something which is very rare for Rolex. 

 

A Brand New Calibre: Calibre 9001 

 

The Calibre 9001 was created specifically for this watch. The 9001 is an automatic, COSC certified, movement with a 72 hour Power Reserve. Rolex fitted the 9001 with it's famous Parachrom hairspring, which has antimagnetic qualities, and is resistant to temperature fluctuations. What's more interesting however, is how this movement functions seamlessly with the rotating bezel, which I'll expand upon shortly. 

 

 

The Ultimate Traveler's Watch

 

Unlike it's cousin the GMT, the SkyDweller was built for Travelers, not pilots. This watch makes setting the local and travel time seamless. For the Rolex Skydweller, you actually use the beautiful 18k bezel, which rotates into 3 positions to set the month, date, travel time, and local time. Rotating the bezel to the farthest left position, allows you the set the travel time via the crown. One more rotation of the bezel to the right, allows you to set the local time via the hour hand. Finally, the last rotation to the right allows you to set the month (via the red marker on the hour hand) and the date. 

In addition to having a GMT function, this watch has an Annual Calendar function, which accounts for the different number of days (30/31) in the different months. This is done by moving the red hour marker to the appropriate month and setting the date. Thats all you have to do. The movement will account for the correct number of days in the current month. Note that this excludes Leap Years, when February has 29 days, for which you'll need a perpetual calendar to account for. 

  

Wrist Impressions

 

Although this watch is large and thick on paper (42mm diameter and 14mm thick), it's only 50.5mm lug to lug, so it's fitting pretty nicely on my average 6.5 inch wrist. I just love playing around the bezel setting. It makes me want to book a flight just so I can set the timezones. The Annual Calendar is truly useful. I really like this watch in the Blue Dial, but the price is unapproachable, so the black dial on this one is the next best thing if you want a darker toned dial. The oyster bracelet is the way to go here, as I think the Jubilee is not appropriate for such a thick and large watch. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This is a one-owner watch that was Purchased from an Authorized Rolex Dealer in 2021. The watch comes with Box and Papers, including warranty card from 2021. This watch is still under ROLEX WARRANTY for 5 years from 2021. 

The watch is in Near Mint Pre-Owned Condition with only minor wear on the case and bracelet. I would say the watch is around 95%. There are no dents or deep scratches on the case or bracelet. The Crystal is free from scratches. The watch is mechanically sound, with the bezel clicking into each setting position properly and the watch keeping excellent time.

WHY THIS WATCH

Pre-Ceramic, 5 digit Submariners are gaining in popularity at a breakneck pace, and for good reason. Many collectors enjoy the svelte case lines of the 16610 over the Maxi case of its ceramic younger brother. Although the aluminum bezels are not as scratch resistant, this is a good thing for those of us who appreciate patina.The movements in these submariners are notoriously reliable and easy to service. 

 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This is the most modern version of the 16610, with the serial number on the Rehault (inner lip of the dial), Solid End Links (rather than hollow), and the Secret Crown Signature embedded in the crystal at 6PM (not photographed as it's subtle, but it's there).

 

This watch is serial M3XXXXX making it 2007/2008 Solid End Link model. This watch is in very well preserved condition, with only very light marks on the case, and bracelet which were hard to photograph, around 93%. The bezel is perfect, showing no scratches, with the Pearl fully intact. The case is in excellent shape with sharp lugs and intact bevels. 93250 Bracelet has 13 full links and and has no stretch. The movement is keeping excellent time, and has no mechanical issues. This watch does not come with box and papers.

WHY THIS WATCH

 

The Rolex Submariner, first introduced in 1953, stands as a paragon of both luxury and durability, embodying the balance between elegant design and robust functionality. This diving watch was not only a testament to Rolex's engineering prowess but also set a benchmark for underwater timepieces. It has since become one of the most recognized and sought-after watches in the world. In 2010, the legacy of the Submariner was further solidified with the introduction of the reference 116610. This model, succeeding its predecessors, boasted a series of refinements. Key among these was the ceramic Cerachrom bezel, renowned for its resistance to scratches and fading, ensuring the watch retains its luster for decades. Additionally, the 116610 came with an improved "Maxi Dial" which featured larger markers and hands, enhancing its legibility. While the Submariner lineage consists of many esteemed references, the 116610 stands out for its blend of modern innovations and timeless aesthetics
