The Rolex Explorer 214270 39mm Is The Perfect Everyday Watch

In 2021 Rolex discontinued the 39 mm Rolex Explorer 214270 39 mm MK2 and replaced it with a 36 mm Explorer and i 2023 added a ned 40 mm Explorer. But was the 39 mm Explorer with the right size hands and fully lumed the perfect Explorer? In this video I walk you through all the details of my discontinued 39 Explorer II MK2 and compare sizes.

    The 39mm looks the best of the lot. I like the balance in the text and 41 for a no complication/dive bezel looks odd. The new 36 are closer to 35, unlike the perfect 36 oysters of the past. This will end up holding the most value over time IMHO.

    It's a really nice piece, I think the larger dial on yours would be better than the newer model

    In addition to MKII dial and hands enhancements, do you discern a slight 'widening' of the bezel surface area by a couple of mm's comparted to MKI? The connumdrum to me is the MKI looks almost indiscernably narrower around the dial head and the dial's new accents. I own MKI cannot shake the distinct impression Rolex machined a bezel accent differently. Great overview video of interest -sub in nyc. Let me know what you think? Thanks.

    All depends on the wrist size but in my opinion 40 is comfortable size

    Yes i realy think 39mm is the perfect size,i dont have nothing against rolex 41mm but 39mm is great,i have a rolex airking 34mm and its realy nice but dificult to read the time ,so i would lime to sell it and buy an oyster perpetual 40mm or this explorer,only dificulty is to be sure i can get it with AD at the normal price because in grey market it cost 8000 and more...

    Rolex doesn’t make a 41mm Explorer or a 40mm OP. You are clueless

    39 mm is the best, the 40 lug to lug is terrible....
