Lume!

Explorer Lume is just exquisite. Sometimes I stop and look at when I transition from light to dark settings.

I'm glad I'm not the only one staring at the lume of my watches.

Looks great 👌🏽 . Strange , I’ve was always disappointed with the lune on the Explorer that I once owned 🤔my sub on the other hand has great lume. I wonder if it does vary on each watch ( from the same manufacturer) and its luck how bright it is ?!

*sigh* one day….one day. Easily a GADA for me.

Submariner lume is also fantastic.

The 124270 with Chromalight is a whole new game. It's the best I've seen. It rivals the lume on my SMP 300.

You'll get it soon I'm sure, they don't seem to have a long wait.

For sure, but this one's the slightly larger 224270.

Oh trust me, I know. That’s the exact one I have my eye on ever since they released it. Looks great on you.

Always loved the explorer. I couldn't tell you the number but my favourite had always been the explorer 2, like this one.

It's definitely a goal. Just working towards it.

I actually love the GMT master 2 that just released, but before I even try for that one I'd like the explorer 2 40mm 16570.

I'll likely overpay for a Rolex authorized from Mayors but I want it bad, specifically the years with the engraved rehaut.

Absolutely. I prefer these over the GMT masters actually, and I love the GMT masters. I just have a love for vintage/retro mountaineering and exploration. Just absolutely cool watches

I know many are divided on Rolex and the shenanigans on trying to get one at retail, but I have to say that their fit and finish is just superb. Whatever they do is refined and exacting. Lovely!

How long does it last ?

Longer than I've stared at it at least, never timed it and waited for it to phase out to be honest, I'll try next time..

It is stunning. When I got mine, I had to have the 3, 6, 9 with lume version. It just looks too good.
