docdoc Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Hi Everyone, Do you think there is a good chance to see this model coming out soon ? I can't wait for it !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member X Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 That looks near identical to the old one lol Have they increased the size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Yep 40mm ish, i assume that we will see this as the case from the Milgauss should be right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 It looks to have "EXPLORER" moved to the bottom half of the dial and the oft ranted about rehaut engraving. I do have a cheapie of the old one (last year?) and it looks much cleaner without the engraving regardless whether it lines up right or not... Here's the "cheapie": Here's from the current (today) Rolex web site: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdoc Posted April 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 The big advantage is the bracelet, I guess. The engraved rehault is a little bit show off, I guess, but I like all steel numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 The cheapie I posted has the steel numbers and markers and they are out there. The only thing that really detracts from mine is the haphazard lume application. This one with a little fixin' up I think will look quite nice - once I figure out how to take off the old lume and apply a perfectly centered rectangle of lume on the marker!

lhooq Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 What bugs me about the new Explorer is something that Mendota on RG pointed out: The hands are too short! Since the beginning of time (or maybe the mid-50s) the Explorer's hour hand should just about touch the tip of the triangle at 12, while the minute hand should just about reach the minute marks. The hour and minute hands on the 2010 Explorer look as if they were transplanted from the previous model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 its a milgauss without the 'gauss explorer dial in the MG case JMB where'd you get your EXP1 from? all the new ones have a slightly different dial with a different lettering alignment. I believe both are correct but yours is more common.. already ordered it for the mrs. on it's way. notice 'perpetual' and 'explorer' alignment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docdoc Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 JMB, it looks like there is lume inside the numbers ? Or is it the picture ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Doc, just a reflection... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdoc Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 well, patience is the key. So I'll wait a little extra for the new upgraded model as I doubt the 36mm would be large enough for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
