Goldbro Timepieces holds authenticated Rolex Explorer and Explorer II references for sale, certified genuine in-house and shipped insured nationwide. The Explorer is a field watch built around legibility, with oversized 3, 6 and 9 numerals and no date. The Explorer II adds a fixed 24-hour bezel and a second hand for reading day from night underground.
Two watches, one name
The Explorer runs at 36mm and 40mm, and it is the plainer of the pair. No date, no rotating bezel, nothing on the dial that is not needed to read the time. It is a common answer for a collector who wants one watch to wear every day.
The Explorer II is 42mm with an orange 24-hour hand and a bezel marked in twenty-four divisions, designed for cave explorers who lose track of whether it is day above ground. The white-dial version is known as the Polar, and it is the more sought-after of the two dials.
What to check
Goldbro authenticates every Explorer in-house before it is listed, recording reference, year, condition grade and box-and-papers status. On older Explorer II references the 24-hour hand and its independent setting are checked, and on both models the case is inspected for over-polishing at the lugs. Eligible pieces carry a 12-month Goldbro warranty.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Polar Explorer II?
Polar is the collector name for the Explorer II with a white dial, distinguishing it from the black-dial version. Both share the same case and 24-hour bezel.
Does the Rolex Explorer have a date?
No. The standard Explorer is a time-only watch. The Explorer II carries a date at three alongside its 24-hour hand.
How much is a Rolex Explorer?
Goldbro Timepieces prices across three bands, $5K–$15K, $15K–$40K and $40K–$100K+. The Explorer is one of the more accessible sports references, with dial and generation affecting placement.
