Will the Rolex Explorer II be discontinued in the near future? Nature & adventure photographer thinks it is one of the best tool watches of all time, but does Rolex need or want a tool only watch in their luxury watches catalog.

    As much as I wear my Polar, discontinued value means nothing to me. It’s already scratched and banged around- and I love it. Nobody should buy a tool watch in the hope that the value goes up. If they did then they bought the Explorer 2 for the wrong reason. Wear your watches boys!

    I don't disagree that the Explorer II seems a bit out of place in the lineup, I hope it won't be discontinued but I see where you're coming from. In my opinion, the ironic tragedy of the GMT Master II is that it's a travel watch; but it's so iconic and recognizable, that it would almost be crazy to travel with. The Explorer II, is the opposite of that; 2/3rds of the functionality with less "risk". I think you mentioned as much in one of your Submariner videos, you thought it would fly under the radar, then realized significant amount of people could spot it in public.

    I agree a 100% with you about the GMT Master II and the because of the Explorer II is a better watch for traveling. Will have to see come April, I did however just read in another comment that Rolex as copyrighted the name Land-Dweller. I'm going to look more into this, but maybe the Explorer II will warp into this new watch or just be replaced by it. Cheers

They are master marketeers, they wont change the entire business, when they already have the market in an absolute chokehold.

    I'm not sure I'm convinced. The Milguass was obsolete because all of their watches are becoming anti-magnetic due to the new movement components (and perhaps because Omega has such incredible anti-magnetic architecture to compete with), but I don't think we can say that the Explorer 2 is becoming obsolete because there are no other models that are "becoming" durable tool watches. Also, who wants a tool watch made from precious metals? I don't think that makes much sense; even the polishing is mostly absent on the Explorer 2 because they know its purpose is vastly different than all of their other models. And you did hit on the most important point, I think...Rolex started as a tool watch company; they seem to hold to their history quite well. I think if anything were to be discontinued, it would be the base Explorer...it is incredibly close to just being an OP. It has the same exact movement, the case size is only 1mm difference at their largest, the bracelet is the same, and the water resistance is the same. The dial and hands are the only noticeable difference, and the Air King has a similar dial to the Explorer too, having the added minute markers between the 3, 6, and 9 hour markers. Also, while the Explorer 2 at least has 2 dial options, the Explorer has none...it only has 2 case sizes, both of which are covered by the OP. Perhaps I am hoping this is only a rumor, but it doesn't make sense to me that one of the more unique watches in their lineup would be discontinued in order to keep another model that is so similar to two others.

    Not sure if I agree, if anything I see the Air King being retired from the lineup before the Explorer, despite its recent refresh; not that I think either will disappear from the lineup soon. The Bloodhound, which is about a niche project as it gets, doesn't even use Rolex instruments anymore. Last I read, its gauge clusters are digital. While the OP is the more individualistic watch, having more options and while the Explorer has strayed from its mountaineering roots, I think the Explorer still has that classic, understated appeal that still will continue to have a strong fan base; those who like Rolex, but don't need to advertise it. I am, admittedly, a bit biased as a 124270 owner. 😅

    Thank you for your another great video! Well, I think ROLEX did and does not change the Explorer II because there is nothing to change at all. It is the best tool watch you can buy for money. And, btw. it looks luxurious, too. It remembers me of my IWC Big Pilot, which is "DER UHR". The Explorer is the essence of a man's world watch with its 42mm and of course the GMT function. Men need to know if it's day or night when any adventure is leading them in the darkest places of the world. I would advice ROLEX not to change anything and let it in the lineup. If not, I'm not sad about it because I have one and will never give it away. And I'm sure prices will rise immediately in case of beeing discontinued. Prost! 🙂

    I love my Explorer 2 in Polar White. In fact, I was the Rolex that caught my attention the most for pretty much the exact same reasons that you mentioned. I wanted a new tool watch to replace my Omega Seamaster Chronograph. I am getting older and the sub dials on the chronograph are getting harder to read. I love the fixed bezel and the GMT function. The White dial tied it all together. It would be sad to see it go but glad I got my 226570 when I did. To add a little fuel to your speculation Rolex did put in for trademarks on the name Land-Dweller and Space-Dweller. Not sure about the Space-Dweller as an old school model of the Explorer I carried that name reference on the dial during the early years of the space program to the moon. Maybe it was Rolex's entry to what NASA picked from Omega as the Speedmaster moonwatch. Maybe some correlation with the Explorer I and the name Space-Dweller... Who knows... But, back to the Land-Dweller, now that sounds like a reborn name to an all out adventurer and maybe the replacement to the Explorer II... I guess we will shall see come Mid-April. Maybe the Yachtmaster II and the Explorer II get replaced by these 2 new Model names that Rolex Trademarked or maybe Rolex Trademarked the names so that no one else could use them not that they would...

I think they are trying to enrich the explorer line up, Anyway i think they will not discontinue it but they will add new variations such as polar dial with black bezel. It will sell alot!

They just took the the movement from the GMT Master II, which made it easier on Rolex, now they could produce one less type of movement.

    Tudor is taking the place in the high end sport / tool watch arena. Tudor is a better watch / sportier watch for active people. Rolex is more for the flashy old man or woman who has a mindset from the 70's or 80's on what they believe wealth looks like. Not a bad thing, just a different market. Even the Sub looks like a flashy piece of jewelry as compared to the Pelagos which has the sporty and rugged look (which can also be dressed up or down).

    Rolex has moved more towards jewelry, but the Submariner is still an epic tool watch. Its movement is more accurate and durable than any Tudor movement.

    @@cheynewalls hi sir! It’s because for the longest time the exp2 42mm is very unpopular, even though it’s 1 of the “cheapest” or “entry level” sports model of rolex, that said, only a few of us really liked it, bought it, loved it. So if Rolex discontinued the exp2, only us the few who believed at it will have the luxury of owning 1. Great vids by the way sir.🫡

    Just though it a fun watch topic to discuss with the recent (when this video was published) news on the Explorer II and it being compared to the Milgauss. As an owner of a Rolex Explorer II I'm asked this questions a lot in the comments, watch groups and other forums. Gave my option in this video.

    ​@@Andrew-yy2ye Not sure what "club" you are referring to? But I think you might have fallen for that negative Rolex hype during turbulent times. Yes, during COVID a Rolex watch was hard to get, but so was every other watch brand, hell toilet paper was hard to get. Yes, a few AD's took advantage, but that was so over hyped! If you noticed ALL that negative hype was through Social Media and KZread, little to no mention of it on News platforms that are held accountable. Myself as well as hundreds of others I spoke with have never jumped through hoops with Rolex ADs, we understand the laws of supply & demand, and we might need to wait a little bit before receiving an in-demand product. We also understand that someone who has spent a lot of money with that company might get moved to the front of the line. All companies do this, its part of the free market and good business practices. I don't understand my Rolex is taking all this hate for just running a very success business and creating an amazing product. That all being said, I'm speaking from personal experience. Do you have personal experience with what you are taking about or are you repeating what others have said? Cheers, thank you for the good back and forth conversation.

    Time is around us. You don’t need to carry the phone. Even in the wilderness you can use your hands and sun to tell the time. And even if the watch is necessity you can always use the g-shock. Let’s be honest the main reason KZreadrs buy Rolexes to make their videos more clickable. Try to do the same with the gshock and see how many views your video will get. Today Rolex serves a different purpose than before.

    @@cookingwithwatches Well, probably better you have a watch then use your hands and sun. In the Northwest you don't see the sun for months at a time. As for being honest, I like all watches, I have owned G-shocks, but they break on when I go snow camping, batteries always go flat. That is why I go with mechanical and not quartz or digital (have done a few videos on it). I make my living being out in rough environments for a long period of time and I have found Rolex sport watches to be some of the most accurate and tough watches out there. The thing is what you said "Today Rolex serves a different purpose than before." The Rolex watches haven't really changed, just societies view of them. Why hate on me and Rolex just because of the "stigma" of others? Others who don't do the research and just want to put a label something because it is easy.
