My Watch A Rolex Explorer

I visited Switzerland a few year back. While I was there I ended up buying a Rolex Explorer II watch. The watch cost about $2000 which is pretty expensive in my books. The reason why I bought the watch was to sell it when I returned home and make a bit of money off of it.

I ended up just keeping the watch rather than selling it. The watch is water resistant up to 100 meters and is made from stainless steel. I do a bit of diving time to time so it was deep enough for me. The watch works perfectly underwater.

The watch is a bit heavy because it weighs about 8 ounces though I can deal with it. This might be a problem to people who are arthritic though. The watch has a second hand, a minute, hour and second time zone hand as well as a date.

The date is in magnified by a bubble and the way the second hand ticks is very smooth. In addition there is a red hand that is set to your home time zone which is on the front of the watch. It is also very easy for you to adjust the black hand.

There is a red hand on the front of the watch. The red hand is your home time zone and when take a trip you can adjust the black hour hand which takes just a few seconds. The watch comes in two dial colors a black or white dial. My Rolex has the white dial and it looks still after 7 years.

The Rolex Explorer is an automatic watch. The way it gains is power is from half weighted pendulum. This winds the main spring and then gives the watch it's power through a series of other springs.

Most people who see my watch don't know right away that it is a rolex. This is not a bad thing, unless you are looking for a watch to show off to everyone. On the positive side this watch is great for ownership and a fine watch.

This watch features a sapphire crystal as the glass piece. This crystal is very resistant to all daily abuse that is put onto your watch. You can rest assured you won't get a scratch.
