A few years ago Rolex surprised the watch world with a new line of highly colorful dials in their entry level Oyster Perpetual line. Though some of those variations have been discontinued, this beautiful 41MM blue remains in production.
Considered “ordinary” by watch snobs, perhaps because so many lesser brands rip-off its iconic look, the Submariner nonetheless continues to be one of the most popular models for Rolex. Even after nearly 70 years in production the watch is still waitlisted, and that’s not changing any time soon.
The Explorer feels old school and modern at the same time. While many purists believe 36MM is the best, or proper size for this model, I disagree. This 214270 is 39MM and has a sense of boldness to it that the smaller version does not.
