You now how to make an introduction with a splash
You have made a clear and deliberate selection that shows how solid the DNA of Rolex watches traverses the ages.
Thank you very much for joining us and we wish you good luck with the domed crystal. However, you can remain comforted with the fact that the service plexi will protect your watch against the elements.

3 Generations of Explorer 1016
These is my 1016 collection The first is a Gilt and Gloss from 1964. Second and third are 67 and 82 with original mate dials. Only bad thing is the missing Dome Glass on the 1982... I M looking for a long time, real hard to find. In my opinion the Explore...
Welcome ...
Alessandro, Thank you for, finally, to post here. You are my first "conversion". Now you need to open a series of "Marine Chronometers" in order to share those unique pieces. Cheers, Nio
the Marines
Marine Chronometers in my opinion are the best mechanical clocks ever made, I think is was harder to make a clock mechanically precise and reliable them complicate like those Calendar on Moonphases, at sea where not tolerate to failures correct time was c...
Wonderful collection, Alejandro...
once you pointed it out, the domed glass is certainly an important detail. The first two have a simplicity in how the bezel meets the glass that the third does not. Good luck in your search and we look forward to the rest of your collection. Welcome to Pu...
thanks
I just can't wear the one with the wrong glass. I will make it, I friend will make some identical based on the original I have. He has some equip to do it. I post a pic after all.

thanks Bill
I will make some of this glasses in a friends factory. Post pics later. The 1016 is the perfect watch, I have have to chose only one I would chose it. Thanks Alex
These are great, Alex! Welcome.
Really nice examples of all three of the generations represented. I agree that the Explorer is an incredibly versatile and handsome Rolex. (And it is one I wish I owned,) Regards, CaliforniaJed
I was lucky 3 times
I was very lucky finding these 3 watches, specially the Gilt I bought from a US Soldier and be band is my exact size. Best regards, Alex
A Man with 3 Explorers is a good man.
My saying. :) Bravo, Alejandro! Will you also consider the earlier 6610? Or another earlier reference, too? Very nice specimens, by the way. Best, Nicolas
I love to have all....
I agree with you, What can be wrong with someone the uses and understand the beauty of a 1016. I love to have all Explorer I I find, but it's just impossible to find good examples, I really not a big fan of the ones with redone dial or lumens.
That's awesome
the 1016 is definitely an underestimated Rolex sportswtach, you have a beautiful trio of them !
I totaly agree
I agree, all the 36mm vintage toll watches are underestimated... In 10 years with the new chinnese market I will not be able to buy them anylonger. Best regards Alex
Hello Alejandro! Welcome aboard!! I will make mine ...
... the words of my friend Nicolas: a man with three vintage Explorers must be a good man! Thank you for sharing these great photographs of your awesome collection of 1016 Explorers. I love this reference, specially the older version with gloss and gilt d...
thanks a lot
Thanks a lot, a men with 3 Explorer is at least a men with good taste :) Regards Alex
