The new 2016 Rolex Explorer 1 is soooo drop dead gorgeous. I've been reading about it for the past few days. It may very well be my next timepiece!

it's what the 39mm explorer I should've been. but rolex wanted to clear stocks of it's older hands from the 36mm model, resulting in hands that were too short for a 39mm case size. there'll be those who'll bemoan the loss of the white gold 3-6-9 hour markers, but in my books, a watch that claims adventure roots like the explorer I should have full lume hour markers!

Amen to that! The white gold markers do nothing for me.

Actually I don't know bro, I got it as a gift :)

Yes the erotica watches are interesting but I will never dare to put one on my wrist. :s13:

your model isn't on Paul Smith website anymore. where else can we get yours and what's the damage? thanks! :D

btw, since we're on this topic, i'm sure you know of Svend Andersen Eros watches with animated erotic scenes. ;)

Imagine if the bezel was black aluminum instead of steel...🤑

some folks in the watch community actually swap it with the bezel from the blue "bond" omega seamaster (the one with the skeleton hands).

if the electric blue had a matching blue bezel and date wheel similar to what they did for the all black 2254.50, it'd been perfect! but its iridescent blue dial is really to die for if you've seen it in the metal! :D

(grown-up talk) if people not horny, the human race would've died off long ago! for some models, it only shows up if you flip the watch over over. I mention it cos if you dare to flash your wallet image every time you open it to reach for your cc / cash, the sven anderson watch is a lesser worry. also a damn interesting conversation piece among the more honest & open-minded and... maybe even as an interesting aid to potential "ahem" action by gauging the pupil reaction from the opposite sex! ;)

Jin swee!!

Hi Seannie, although the case diameter for the 15202st is 39mm, it fits alot bigger due to the integrated bracelet design and the inflexibility of the bracelet itself. It can "stand" without using any cushion :s13:

Best if you can try it in the flesh. I agree the 15202st is not for everybody - some find it too fragile looking due to the ultra thin profile, no quick set date, lack of sweeping hand.

If you could get pass all these it is one hell of a timepiece and it is the closest living relative to the first "A' series 5402 Royal Oak. The proportions is perfect in my book. I am astonished of the art and science of the cal 2121 and is the most beautiful movement I had seen so far (Please pardon my ignorance) I can write more about it but it will become WOT post. =:p

Some enabling pictures!

If I had known you earlier, I would have sold it to you!

it's all cool bro m0lecule. only got into watches as an uncle 2-3 yrs ago after self-poisoning myself with images, articles and videos off the web. and only acquired my omega 2254.50 3 months plus ago, so it's a recent purchase but will stay with me for life (barring circumstances)! :s12:
