rolex explorer 2

two wrist shots...............of my first rolex watch......the explorer 2 in white dial.........back in 2002, explorer 2 were highly sought after and discount was rare for this model......



i have a weakness for white dials....and the explorer 2 is one of the most beautiful watches out there......in fact, for rolex ss sport watches, only the explorer 2 and the daytona come with white dials...........kinda unique isnt it....



mine came with the SEL bracelet, which i really like........of cos the middle links are hollow but that's fine.........this makes the bracelet light and comfortable......

powering the explorer 2 is the rolex 3185 movement..........which is similar to the 3135 excepted for the 24 hr hand complication......this is a very versatile gmt watch as the hour hand can be set in 1 hr increment and independently without the need to hack the movement.....

rated to 100 wr, the watch comes with a twinlock crown......

many believe that after the upgrades to the gmt master 2, the explorer 2 will be the next rolex to get a supercase and maxi-dial...........well we shall see, cos rolex is keeping mum.....
