A $20 plastic quartz watch keeps better time than most fine mechanical watches, but anyone comparing the two is missing the point entirely.
Yep -- it's definitely "much inspired" by the Rollie. But I love it, especially for $500!Yeah, the only problem is it looks so much like the original.
And thank you to Dr. Robert for the kind words.

That is a classic. I just wish it were a few mms bigger.
I love the look of the Explorer, especially the earlier Explorer 1's. My favorite Rolex to be sure. Then I read a review of one (you can google rolex explorer review) and it completely ruined my enthusiasm for them. I still think they're beautiful, but i won't own one now. Went with IWC and never looked back.
They sure look beautiful though!
I am pretty sure that review has been widely discredited by many folks. There has been much discussion on the subject on various watch forums.
Panerai Luminor Marina Automatic 40mm (PAM00048)
Omega Speedmaster Pro (3573.50.00)
Rolex Explorer (114270)
Baume & Mercier Classima Executives/William Baume Collection (8736)
Vostok Amphibia (420334B)
Casio G-Shock Mudman (G9000MS-1)
Casio G-Shock Mudman (GW9000A-1)
Casio G-Shock (GWM5600-1)
Seriously, I'd love to read rebuttals of that review or read other reviews if you can post some links. Thanks.
Very nice, Doc. I like seeing them all together, the dna is unmistakable.

I like the Explorer as well although not the II model~Cheers!
