Okay, so I’ve been eyeing this Explorer 124270 for a while now. I mean, it’s a Rolex, and everyone says these things just keep going up in value. Seemed like a good investment, you know?
But this wasn’t just about the money. I’m kind of an outdoorsy guy, I love hiking and just being out in nature. This Explorer, it’s built for that kind of stuff. They say it can handle any kind of weather. I thought, “Man, that’s the watch for me!”
So, I started doing some digging. Turns out this 124270 model is pretty cool. It’s 36mm, which is a good size for my wrist, not too big, not too small. And it’s not super thick either, just 11.5mm. Fits nicely under a shirt cuff, you know?
The dial is what really got me. It’s that classic black with those big 3, 6, and 9 numbers. Super easy to read, even when I’m out on a trail, and it’s getting dark. Plus, it’s got this Chromalight thing, which makes it glow in the dark. Super helpful when I’m camping!
I finally pulled the trigger and got one from my local watch guy. And let me tell you, it’s been awesome. I wear it everywhere, whether I’m going on a hike or just heading to a meeting. It dresses up, it dresses down, it’s just so versatile.
It’s been a while since I got the call, and I gotta say, no regrets. This watch is a keeper. It’s tough, it’s good-looking, and it’s a Rolex. What more could you ask for?
Here’s how my journey with this watch went down:
- First, I started looking into watches that could handle some rough use.
- Then, I stumbled upon the Explorer and was intrigued by its history and reputation.
- I spent hours reading reviews and watching videos about the 124270.
- Contacted my local authorized dealer and put my name on the waiting list. I was very excited.
- The waiting felt like forever, but I knew it would be worth it.
- Finally, I got the call and rushed to the store to pick it up.
- Since then, I’ve worn it almost every day and taken it on countless adventures.
- I even got it a little scratched up, but that just adds to its character, right?
- Now, I enjoy every moment, not only wearing it but also knowing it will increase its value.
Yeah, it’s a solid watch. I’m happy with it.
