mrsnak, the last auction on 10th march NY, from one auction house, there was..
..a 1950s Explorer ref 6098 which was sold at a reasonable price.. maybe u can try auctions? but it will be exciting if you got one, whichever Explorer which fits u, that be fun. 
check out the auction on 27th march in Geneva, there is a nice 1016.....

This might be my first post here :-)
Was on the road this past week and stumbled upon this in a well-known Rolex shop. Always have wanted an original Explorer but this is one better. Did it ever sing to me! Completely unmolested - no polishing. This message has been edited by mrsnak on 2011-...
All can happen, even that!
I'm in the hunt for what I call an Early Explo. This one is beautiful, mrsnak. I hope you got it! Can you provide us more datas about its year? All the best. Nicolas.
A 1958 #5504
Made only one year and because of that, sadly, the price slightly was out of my reach (unless I wanted my wife to divorce me). Has a blue-steel second hand.
Too bad ( for the watch, I mean. :) Thanks for the information.
You still have the possibility to find a Ref 1016, which is way less rare and less expensive, but very appealing, too. Best and please, keep us update in your journey into the Explorers. Nicolas.
I agree, a nice, but less rare Explorer...
...would be fantastic. You never know what comes up in one's travels. Visited another vintage watch store in San Francisco that same trip. Saw a very nice original Omega Seamaster 120 diver, but the owner was holding out for the big money.
Great first post
That is what you call a Rolex. I really like it, a watch that I could be tempted by. Your story kind of reminds why I spend my time looking into shop windows, one never knows what will show up. Best regards, George
Did you catch the gilt Explorer . . .
. . . at the same location? I'd consider divorce for that one! A good thing my gf doesn't have a computer ;-) . . .
