The Rolex Explorer was first introduced in 1953 and is notable for its association with adventure. The design emphasizes durability, reliability, and legibility in extreme conditions. It features a beautifully simple and balanced dial, luminous hour markers, and a robust stainless steel case. The watch is also equipped with Rolex's patented Oyster case technology, which provides exceptional water resistance and protection from dust and other environmental hazards. The Explorer has been worn on notable expeditions and adventures and has become a symbol of Rolex's commitment to quality and reliability in extreme conditions, and has earned a top spot in the list of Rolex's iconic models. 

These early 6 digit reference Explorers are some of the cleanest and most practical iterations of the model and what we believe to be a modern classic and the end of an era for Rolex. This F68X serial example, circa 2003-5 displays excellent overall condition with a sharp and unpolished case. The bracelet retains 12 links, remains tight and will fit an approximate 7.5-inch wrist. This set includes its original and "open" warranty papers that don't show a previous owner's name making it possible to make this piece truly your own. The "888" code designates an original delivery to Hong Kong. Serialized warranty tag which is non-replaceable, Explorer booklet. Inner and outer boxes - the outer box notably retains a ref. 114270 sticker. This set could be filled out to a "full collector set" given it has the non-replaceable elements. If you've been looking for great value in neo-vintage Rolex, this reference is one of our top choices for a daily driver. 

Dial: Mint. There are no blemishes under magnification. Bezel: Appears unpolished. Hands: Are matching. Case: Appears sharp and unpolished with thick and even lugs. Light signs of use overall. Correct signed crown. Bracelet: Correct 78690 with 12 links and very tight. Appears lightly touched up. Will fit an approximate 7.5 inch wrist. Crystal: Clear. Accessories: Original and "open" warranty papers that don't show a previous owner's name making it possible to make this piece truly your own. The "888" code designates an original deliver to Hong Kong. Serialized warranty tag which is non-replaceable, Explorer booklet. Inner and outer boxes - the outer box notably retains a ref. 114270 sticker. This set could be filled out to a "full collector set" given it has the non-replaceable elements. The movement is running well on our timegrapher and comes with our 6-month mechanical warranty.
