A rare alternative to the Explorer was the Canadian market Everest model 5505. 36mm 20mm lugs, 1530 movement. Often in two tone and with a cream white honeycomb dial, or black honeycomb. Both with gold markers and hands. Anybody here own one and have pictures to share?

I’m starting to be drawn to the 36 mm. What do you think, sell the DateJust to fund?

Keep the Datejust and just get on a list for a new 36mm Explorer, putting weekly funds aside for the year or so until they call you? I think it would be a shame to lose a Datejust unless you’re not into it.

Three weeks of ownership and it hasn't come off my wrist. Simply love it. One question though, is it normal for the date to turn over at 12:03 or 12:04am?

I have had other Rolex models with dates be a minute or two early or late...but I'm talking vintage. Is this brand new and under warranty? If so, take it to the AD and see what they say. Or hopefully more will chime in on your question here.

Finally back from service at the AD and they gave my back my crown, tube and what appears to be the fourth wheel they replaced.

Not my watch but currently in my possession. I travelled over Christmas and picked this watch up as a favor to a good friend who recently bought it through a classified listing. Canadian Explorer with salmon dial and applied gold indices.
