Which Rolex?

You’re buying your first Rolex. Money matters! So if these are the three…which are you taking?

I can understand the Sub being popular but I'm surprised the Explorer 1 is more popular than the 2 🤔

I’m not. I find the 2 hideous 😅

But you can't even tell if it's day or night when you're spelunking with the Explorer 1 🤯

I suppose the Explorer 1 is ok if you want to be 2nd up a mountain.....

Explorer II all day

·

Well, Explorer II is the most costly of the three so I guess that could also be the reason why it's coming last...

·

Explorer 2!

But you won’t regret buying any of them. If you intend to dress up, Explorer would be the safest choice, I guess.

·

Sub all day long, although all 3 are good.

·

Voted for Explorer. But if money matters maybe you should reconsider if you need/can afford so expensive watch

·

You’re asking the wrong crowd. This app will pick the explorer 1. Great watch. Clean design. I want one.

But if this is your first…and I assume based on the fact that you can’t decide, it’s because you (and let’s be honest) just want a “Rolex” (vs you want a good dive watch, gmt, etc), then get the Sub. It’s iconic and frankly everyone and your grandma will know it’s a Rolex on your wrist (even from far away). None of the others will scratch your Rolex itch like it will

If money were the main concern, get an OP with a white or black dial and call it a day. But it’s not (clearly), the real concern is having the Rolex people recognize. Sub it is.

I think if you're relying on your watch to tell you if it's day or night you should be concerned 😂

Of the three I guess I'd say the Explorer, but when presented with similar choices for my first Rolex I chose the black Explorer II and even years later I could not be happier with my choice.

But, but, but if you've been underground for a few days......

The explorer 1 is my grail so definitely that 👍🏻

If money mattered I wouldn't be looking at Rolex.😉

Agreed. Just meant to be a fun poll. Very good advice

Yes! 😁

Do not waste your time…you have to wait years and by the time the AD call you, your priorities will be in a totally different front.

Ten years ago I bought my first Rolex and it was a sub w/ date. Sold it a year later. My second Rolex was an Explorer 1 that I bought March of 23’ and I will keep it forever.

Depends on which E1… but I’m on the list for an E2.

Nice!

·

There is only one Rolex I would consider, a Milgauss.

·

Sub would be my first. Not that you are thinking this way but would be real easy to convert to cash in a pinch😀

·

The sub but for me, it has to have the date.

·

Why not all?

·

Can't argue with E1 🙄
