Besides the case size, I also like the strong, bluish lume. It's definitely the brightest I've seen. The stainless steel watch band gives the watch some weight. Sure, it's not gold, but I like the feel of its weight, esp. in a sporty watch. I love the double-locking mechanism along with the half-link adjustment within the buckle, as well. Lastly, the "ROLEX" logo is imprinted all along the edge of the inside of the front of the watch case. I thought it was a cool, little detail. I've worn this at the office almost on a daily basis and it keeps its winding charge after 8 hours of usage. If I don't wear it on a particular day, then I just pop the crown one click and wind it manually to keep it running.
Even though it's a sporty watch, I think it still pretty much goes with just about anything (short of wearing it with a tuxedo or a super formal event), so it could be worn around the office on a daily basis. I mean, if I had a choice of having a collection of affordable watches (e.g., 12 watches that are $500.00 each) or just one watch, I'm confident I'd stick with this one. Purists might say its new size and lume may make it "blingy," but its rugged elegance is still fairly understated. Besides, I'm not too worried about the horological significance of updating the look of a mass-produced watch.
This is definitely a "Lifetime" watch, and well worth the investment. The original version of this model was worn by Sir Edmound Hillary when he climbed Mt. Everest. This was Ian Fleming's watch, the watch James Bond wore in his books. The only reason Sean Connery was wearing a Submariner was the prop man forgot to get the proper watch and one of the directors loaned him his Submariner to wear while filming instead.
The only caveat about this watch is the Amazon price. For a couple of hundred more you could buy one at an AD, maybe even cheaper, and from the AD you get the Rolex warranty.
This watch has no special features. No rotating bezel, no Day or Date, no extra hands beyond Hour/Minute/Second, no extra timezones. I wouldn't have it any other way, this is as clean and simple as a watch can be made. It is smooth and elegant, with no extra bells and whistles to distract you. It's all steel, with a dark black dial that compliments the steel wonderfully. The band is excellent, with great manufacturing and a greatly improved clasp.
As another reviewer said, this watch has a lot of history. A very similar watch, one of the first Oyster Perpetual models, was worn on Everest by Hilary, was preferred by Ian Fleming and was James Bond's watch in Ian Fleming's novels. These facts are true, however they refer to the original Oyster Perpetual watch, which through time and improvements became this wonderful Explorer I that I now own.
This is one of the nicest watches one can own. It is reserved and yet instantly recognized. It's a sports watch, but could be worn in a formal setting. It is clean, simple, and minimal while still being elegant, precisely engineered, and beautiful.
It has a 36mm diameter case, and the case and bracelet are stainless steel -- not "silver-tone."
A stainless and gold version retails for $11,150.
