Straight to the point, a watch for a lifetime, this proposition is a bit boring; every watch lover is in a state of poison every day. But as a fetishist, I still have a lot of feelings for this little toy on my wrist. It would not be difficult if I were asked to choose; it must be the Rolex Explorer.
A watch for a lifetime, what I expect
A watch that accompanies me throughout my life, I hope it has the following key attributes:
- Classic
- Simple
- Versatile
- Pure
- Neither humble nor arrogant
- Strong enough to pass on quality
People’s aesthetics and personalities will change, and they will also change outside. But I hope that my watch can accompany me for a long time and always accompany me in an appropriate posture, like an old friend, accompanying you through time and circumstances, not only accompanying you but also slowly witnessing you, symbolizing you, and even reminding or guiding you.
Why Rolex
Many think Rolex is a nouveau riche, old-fashioned, and tasteless brand. In a word, it is vulgar!
But Rolex represents extreme classicism, purity, and quality. The brand’s historical evolution is pure and continuous. It has not been resold and has never been dying or revived.
From the perspective of style, its style is classic, cautious, non-conforming, and not exaggerated. Even if it is adjusted, it is a very prudent fine-tuning. Therefore, even if the antique Rolex is taken to today, it is still classic and durable. It does not make any style, caters to any trend, and always focuses on its classic style.
From the perspective of function, it is simple and pure. Most styles only have essential functions such as time and date and do not even have a transparent bottom, but the quality is excellent, durable, accurate, and timeless. It is a conscientious timing tool. Rolex’s production process keeps the original production to the maximum extent and provides reliable and cost-effective after-sales service.
From the perspective of brand power, Rolex is far from top-notch, but with the history and contribution of the brand, it still has extreme brand power. No matter what occasion you go in and out of your life, it is neither humble nor arrogant. On the other hand, due to its positioning as a daily watch and tool watch and its durable and resistant properties, it is far from high and mighty. Putting aside the prejudice that Rolex is = a tycoon, it is the most suitable choice for working-class watch lovers, and it can be used in the living room and the kitchen. Swiss fake watches.
In short, Rolex is synonymous with classic and pure. If it spans a lifetime, he is the partner who can accompany me.
Why Rolex Explorer I
The Rolex Explorer I is one of Rolex’s entry-level watches. At this price, I think Rolex is invincible.
The Rolex Explorer I is Rolex’s entry-level watch. Its material is pure steel, no gold or diamonds, and very straight. Because it is a pure steel watch, the Rolex knockoff Explorer I is not squeamish, just like its name. Whether you are going on an adventure, cooking, washing dishes, or accompanying your child to go crazy, it can accompany you silently.
Regarding function, the Rolex Explorer I has no calendar and three hands, which is the most straightforward timing tool. Still, the advantage is that it is highly stable, durable, and reliable. No calendar is exactly what I like most. I can’t accept adjusting the calendar every month. I am paranoid that changing the calendar is the watch “making a mistake.” Without having to worry about the calendar, and because of its accuracy, the result is that this watch does not need to be adjusted at all. As long as you wear it on your hand every day, it can always run accurately and stably, never make mistakes, and there is no need to pull out the crown regularly to make any adjustments, so it has always maintained a correct, closed, accessible, and independent character. Due to its simple functions, durability, and choice of materials, the Rolex Explorer I has become a watch that you don’t need to care about and love but only need to focus on yourself, which makes you feel at ease and ease forever.
In terms of positioning, although the Rolex Explorer I is an entry-level watch, it has one advantage. It is different from DJ, DD, Daytona, etc. It is neither a low-end nor a high-end watch. It is unique and has its historical heritage and its source of style. In this vein, it maintains its style.
Toxic plaster color
Speaking of the shape of the Rolex Explorer I, it is mentioned above that the design of the Rolex Explorer I can be traced back to history. All its elements and features come from Rolex without limitation, reference, or catering. It is not as good as Seiko, which understands you and gives you whatever you want, such as enamel plate, plaster surface, red twelve, retro, technology… It differs from the Royal Oak, Girard-Perregaux, and Nautilus, which are stupid and indistinguishable. Unlike those brands that give you tiny blue needles and Breguet needles at every turn… It is so simple and low-key, plain and unpretentious. It is itself; it has its heritage; it will not please you but requires you to understand it.
However, the plainness of the Rolex Explorer I is more exciting than its simplicity. Take a closer look at the dial:
The brushed strap + the black dial without thief light give a low-key impression. The case has a perfect gradient to give the whole watch a sense of hierarchy. The inverted triangle nooo’clockercedes-Benz are classic Rolex elements, making this watch less serious and more tool-like. The 369-hour markers are evenly distributed in the bar hour markers, adding some cartoon feel to the watch. It is balanced and coordinated and can coexist with any dressing style, whether jeans, workwear, or formal wear; a good and evil gentleman can control it.
The suit is not inconsistent.
Casual is not inconsistent.
The Rolex Explorer I is very suitable for leather belts. I often want to change the strap. Whether it is crazy horse leather retro ho,rse hip leather, or crocodile leather, it can completely change the overall style, but every time I lift my cuffs to take a glimpse, I don’t change it because it is so perfect. The Rolex Oyster strap is integrated with the watch and cannot be changed. After changing it, many watch friends still think that the steel strap is the most tasteful.
Overall, the Rolex Explorer I is a companion in my heart that can always accompany me. It has accompanied me through my difficulties and efforts. It has witnessed me building a family and becoming a father. Seeing it reminds me of my past stages, and it also reminds me to walk the adventure journey of life purely and firmly.
