Which one is the gen ?

What do you think experts ?

I think second is gen. The end links look like they fit better, but it could just be the angle on the first pic. Also, the font on the first pic dial writing seems too bold, and the 12 o'clock marker seems too close to the rolex logo. Crown seems sharper on the second pic as well.

Of course, this is my first time ever seeing a Rolex Explorer, so it's far from being an expert opinion.

I am going to go with the first one being the gen.

1. sel's fit nice and tight and are right shape.
2. the crown's teeth are nice and sharp.
3. the lume on the markers are aligned, as on the second pic the 6 marker's lume isnt straight.

so first one is the gen... please correct me if im wrong

I'll go with the first one being gen even though I like the second one better

Think first is gen the rolex coronet has correct spacing to the 12 o clock triangele.
On the second that space is to wide and coronet looks off.

Bah. Everyone disagrees with me. I hope I end up being right.

End of the game
Thank you Rolex experts

The one is a gen one I had 6 years ago
The 2nd is an Asian 21j which I paid 70$ few years later.

There is a better version of that watch. You'd have a lot tougher time making out the GEN.

 

[cousin_hub]

You have a link of this better version ?

 

[TESLA760]

No. My wife won't let me borrow it for pics

The guy asked for a link, not a pic. In for a penny, in for a pound mate.
