NASA-approved
This picture is proof that the moon landing is fake. That cat would also need a space suit to survive if it was real.

I do sort of like that YM with the matte bezel...

Agreed: the satin finish and titanium case is a very nice.

I feel like the Milgauss (40mm) was removed to make room for the new 40mm Explorer. The explorer will sell much more quickly that the lovely quirky Milgauss.

I’m looking forward to my milgauss increasing in value now that they are discontinued at last!

Bubbles on the dial? Not for me.
It's difficult to appreciate that serious bracelet with such playful dial. It's a mismatch I feel.

The 39mm Explorer was a no-go for me, TBH.

That’s what I don’t get. They tried 39mm, went back to 36mm, and now they come up with 40mm 😕

It's actually quite smart -- less coin than some of the larger in-demand sized models but large enough to hook some of the newer crypto money/track suit Rolex bruhs.

Also will take some of the demand off the Submariner I would think.

All the time only 40/41mm models seem far to large to me and I’m sure the new E1 will be no different.

IMO they should’ve released a single Explorer at 37/38mm which would’ve been perfect.

Outrageous and Impossible -- that would have made too much sense.
Plus, that would mean they can't just reuse their currently manufactured cases.

I've already put my name in for the 40mm explorer. I'm excited. I tried the 36mm, but it was dainty on me - and my wrist is just under 7" - but I"m also kind of a big-ish guy. I think the 40mm will be just right.

The E1 epitomises the spread in personal preference around watch size.
I’m 6’1”, 230 lbs, with a 7-75” wrist and find the 39mm Explorer slightly too large to the extent I’ve considered swapping it for a 36mm.

How is this possible that this facebook dealer already got so many 2023 models in his inventory ?
