highoeyazmuhudee Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 What do you guys think of an Explorer 1 for a lady? This lady in particular has a wrist circumfrence of 5 3/4" She doesnt want it to be too big on her wrist. So who has the best Explorer, I've seen ones with the incorrect case ref engraving "114270" F serial and small clasp and one from Josh with the full size clasp like on a sub and an R serial number I'd assume anything with an F serial number is noobfactory quality. any owners wanna chime in about their pieces.

highoeyazmuhudee Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 any opinions on this piece? This is the one im tentatively going to get. http://prowatch-polo.com/showpic.asp?ArticleID=533&bigclassname=Rolex&price=178 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hmmm.. I never though about this as a ladies watch. As long as he doesn't like the diamonds and sparkly bezels of the ladies datejusts and likes simplicity better then go for it. It just seems like a manly watch to me.

alligoat Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 There are smaller Explorer I's out there- like the old model 5500 from Rolex which was a 34mm case, basically an Air-King w/ the Explorer dial- usually marked Precision under the center. Powered by a 1520 movement typically. This is a smaller watch which might be nice for a lady. Air-Kings and Rolex Dates use the smaller 34mm case.

highoeyazmuhudee Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 hmmm, the Josh ones say 37mm. anyone own one? my guess is they use the explorer case and just used a different dial http://www.perfect-hour.com/rlak10013-black-dial-smooth-bezel-stick-marker-28362-p-1708.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soonerwatch Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 I am currently searching for an Air King, Explorer I, or possibly Milguass for my wife for Christmas. Probably will buy from watch eden if I can't find a pre-owed one on the forum. All are around 35-36mm which is large but not too large for ladies these days. And the best part is - I can wear it when she is not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 here's one from Silix w/ a 35mm case, only drawback is the automatic eta movt, which translated means 'asian clone' http://www.silix-prime.com/rols006-p-1474.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Carl Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 I'll second the Air King suggestion. The dials are available in at least black, blue, and white. The original bar marker models have a reputation of being fairly accurate reps. For a lady, you might also consider a leather strap.
