Hi everyone. I recently decided I really didn't like owning a lot of watches, and for my upcoming 40th birthday, decided to consolidate into this Rolex Explorer 114270 from 2017.

I've always liked Rolexes from the early 2000s as I feel like they're a good combination of vintage and modern. This watch really wears comfortably like my old Tudor Prince Date Day, plus it has the tooly charm of my Sinn 556i.

I think I've finally found the watch that is "me": simple, dependable, understated (for a Rolex), and a bit boring.

Yeah, it's a hassle to sell. Another option is of someone is willing to trade the watch you want with some of your pieces. But be prepared to lose some money.
