ROLEX EXPLORER I REF. 114270 BOX AND PAPERS Y-serial 2001-2002 An adventure watch since 1953. The Explorer is an icon not just known for ascending Mount Everest but the 3-6-9 configuration is also clean classic. This is the one— as there is a strong argument for this Explorer 114270 to be the peak variant in the evolution of this design: original 36mm case and dial proportions, superluminova dial, 28,800vph frequency calibre 3130 movement and solid end link bracelet with minimal taper for a larger presence. The new model is basically a jewelry version of this tool watch and they should have always kept it this size and the original 1016 is quite pricey for a good example. The green caseback sticker is still intact, and yes, box and punched papers. Overall light wear on case, bezel and bracelet but looks relatively unpolished (the original caseback sticker is intact and is usually a sign that indicates no polish as well). While no service history, this one is healthy on timegrapher and running per Rolex factory specifications Timestamp pix Videos and timegrapher:  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mEGeHIoyy3PBK5LSp8nKRU5BHF23UCTn?usp=sharing Specifications: 36mm steel case X 20 lug width X 44h lug to lug Box and papers: yes, bracelet appears fully linked - local special: can possibly accommodate at ButterScotch in Downtown Long Beach by appointment - All sales final unless the watch is misrepresented or lost in transit (always fully insured) - Link to [feedback here](https://www.reddit.com/r/WatchExchangeFeedback/search?q=soycowboy&restrict_sr=1&sort=new) & [watchcharts here](https://watchcharts.com/repcheck/user/soycowboy?source=reddit&type=feedback) Asking a *negotiable* **$6500** via bank wire, Zelle, venmo, or possibly Applepay with super strong references or if I know you.  Price includes fully insured Fedex shipping in the USA— hand delivery in Long Beachwith drinks or coffee on me ;).
