My first Rolex

I just purchased my first Rolex. I decided that I wanted the current Explorer 36 and was able to get one through a local AD after a reasonably short wait. It’s the smallest watch I own at the moment and took a couple of days to adjust to the smaller profile. I’m really enjoying it!

Excellent choice! That is also my first watch when I entered this hobby.

Wear it in great health 💪

Congratulations on a beautiful timepiece

·

Congrats! This piece is hard to get in my area.

·

Size looks perfect.

·

Congratulation to your watch. It fits perfectly on your wrist👌If there is a GADA out there, the Explorer is it imo.

·

Congrats!!!

·

Magnificent piece!

My 42mm watches look like dinner plates on my wrist now my brain is calibrated to smaller sizes!

Congrats brother! That’s what I would want trot my first Rolex one day. I really like minimalist.

·

It’s a great size for a daily wear. You won’t regret it.

Congratulations!

Congrats and enjoy it! 🎉

Nice! That’s the right size watch for your wrist based on that pic, IMO. My 36mm explorer is my favorite and the centerpiece of my collection. I’ve gotten rid of everything over 40.5 mm (not counting the g-shock) because they just look/feel like too much on my 7.25” wrist.

Looks good

Congratulations on a beautiful watch!

Hello first reply here on first watch post. So first of all huge congratulations 🎊 👏 you picked the best watch period. Enjoy it.

Edit: I took another look, it looks PERFECT on you.

·

You got it right,for the first one,congrats.

Congrats!! The Explorer was my first as well. I debated and decided on the 39mm case. But what a beautiful watch!

·

I wear mine every day. It’s an incredible watch.

·

Very nice. I am also contemplating the 36 Explorer. What is your wrist size? I have a 7.5 and wondering if it might be too small for me.

·

Congratulations!

Looks awesome

Congrats! Looks at-home on your wrist. Enjoy!

My wrist is just under 7”. I’ve seen it on bigger wrists and think it still looks great. I like the proportions of the 36 dial a lot. It has a different feel from the current 40mm option for sure but both great options.

Great watch I love my 39mm

·

3-6-9 Gannng! if yours is the version that has those #s lumed I'd say I'm jelly 🪼... it's one of the few wishes/changes for my 2003 model... 🍻

·

Congratulations. Excellent choice the 36mm. I had the same reaction to it being small. I now never look at watches over 40mm, and mine that are, I think are too big! Enjoy your Explorer, and be ready to struggle to wear anything else.

·

Great choice! I’ve had my eye on that one for a while.

·

It’s perfect
