Does this mean I'll have to add a VSF to my explorer collection?

It certainly does !

 

[LPhiE]

Is it just me or is the finishing on these clone movements getting better and better!!

 

[Reaps]

Might add the 40mm to finish my Explorer collection

Since a few years when peacock entered the competitors market its getting insane compared to the yuki rolex clones for example, yes

 

[derjenigewelcher]

love the old dial more

 

[MarkMarky]

Looks great!

That movement is tempting but 40mm is no longer an Explorer. Pass for me.

Nice watch though

Why isn't it an Explorer at 40mm Pika?.. Rolex sells them at 36mm and 40mm now from the AD's.

I don’t like the 40mm in the first place
The 36mm is great and I want one.

Why?
Well the modern style explorer has a small smooth bezel, a black dial and huge 3-6-9 numerals in shiny
At 40mm, the dial looks oversized and wrecks the proportions

The rep is awesome, don’t get me wrong.
Just that I don’t like the gen in the first place

Similarly I dont like the 11 Sub because it’s boxy, but I like the 12 Sub with slimmer lugs

I should get this one to complete my Explorer 1 collection!

 

[Jossé]

Does this never end? I literally just ordered the new Explorer 2s, and now I need this one too…

Anyway, thanks for sharing!

Are the vr3230 and the vs3230 interchangeable?

 

[Reaps]

Are the vr3230 and the vs3230 interchangeable?

Yes they should be direct swaps if I recall although I make no promises

 

[Robsen]

Another watch to be added to the list. This and a clean white dial explorer 2, it does not end does it

Is this 39 or 40mm? Thought the Explorer came in 36 or 39mm. Thanks

Last generation was 36mm (114270) and 39mm (214270). Newest generation is 36mm (124270) and 40mm (224070). Not much difference in the two, the newer 40mm is (obviously) larger, with slightly different proportions, and moves the "EXPLORER" from the 6:00 position to the 12:00 position on the dial.

40mm 224070 on left.________________________________________________________________________39mm 214070 on right.

Lugs on the new one are 21mm as well, rather than 20mm on the older one.

Thank you for taking the time to clarify, much appreciated. Wasn't aware there is a 40mm version now, may have to add to the collection haha!
