Hi and welcome to RWI! Glad you found your way here.

Any Trusted dealer can source you an explorer 1, clean factory is the latest and arguably the best version around. Browse the TD section, pick one and make your order. You can also look into the member to member sales area, there were at least 2 for sale in the last 10 days.

Please take some time to read the sticky threads in the new members area (all subsections), learn the basic forum rules and get some very good advice in the process. A number of questions has already been answered there, this is just an example:


As a new subscriber, you've already been directed to this thread, please read carefully and look through the linked additional threads:


Another good thread to read to understand where RWI comes from and some fundamentals is this:


Most of the information you need to know to start is there. If you're preparing to buy, read the stickies before ordering. When you're finished, you can continue learning by reading the stickies in all remaining sections. If it's stickied, it's important information.

If you intend to sell, read the sales rules and all stickies in the sales section with particular care and make sure you understand each single rule. Sales rules infraction is taken very seriously here. As a new member you are not eligible to sell. Using the sales section is a privilege, eligibility must be earned, make sure you know and understand how.

For anything else, feel free to reach out to @eBoy or me, we're happy to assist, advise, direct, explain. Don't hesitate.

Don't be afraid to post noob questions in the new members area. In doubt, use the flame free zone. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere in the new members area, please reach out to @eBoy or me. Mutual respect is of utmost importance to us. On the other hand, we're grown-ups and are supposed to be able to deal with a bit of irony, don't take it personally, ever, a bit of irony never harmed anyone. If you laugh at jokes, you'll make friends faster.

This forum is a treasure trove of information and benefits from the engagement of all members who take their time to share their knowledge, help each other out and have some fun. We hope that you'll benefit and enjoy this platform as well as contribute positively to it.

If at any point you feel to contribute also on another level, feel free to pm the boss (trailboss99) to become a supporter and get some little perks with the status (editing rights, for example).

Enjoy the forum.

Was just looking at one yesterday.

Basically, there's only one decent maker of the 40mm, JVS, and there's not much posted about that model. There's also an older, 39mm model, that is well made by BPF (very good) and Clean Factory (nearly perfect).

FWIW, the dial looks correct on the JVS on cursory inspection, but someone needs to guinea pig the 40mm or we'll never know about it.

Oh I didn't go into the 40mm. For me 39mm is enough. I have both BP and clean and to be honest I hardly see a difference. I am not a picky guy, but this is one of those cases where the lower tier would be good enough for me. And in relation to "lower tier" BP actually makes some of the best dials in the market, so there's that, too. Wouldn't surprise me if clean sourced from the same supplier.

Ne stavo proprio guardando uno ieri.

Fondamentalmente, c'è solo un produttore decente del 40mm, JVS, e non c'è molto pubblicato su quel modello. C'è anche un modello più vecchio, da 39 mm, ben realizzato da BPF (molto buono) e Clean Factory (quasi perfetto).

FWIW, il quadrante sembra corretto sul JVS dopo un'ispezione superficiale, ma qualcuno ha bisogno di cavia per il 40mm o non lo sapremo mai.
Se mi aiutate posso provare ad acquistarlo. Onestamente, tutto su questo forum è così vasto e complesso. Volevo solo comprare una replica 😊

Here's the list of TD's, pick one. If you want a good explorer 1 39mm, clean is the best around, BP will do the job either if you ask me.
