Pre-owned Rolex Explorer ref 214270 (2021) represents a short but important chapter in the Explorer’s history. When Rolex introduced it in 2010, it marked the first time the Explorer grew from its traditional 36mm case to 39mm. For some collectors, that extra wrist presence was welcome. For others, it felt like a big shift from the original formula. Early versions of the 214270 drew criticism for dial proportions. Some felt the hands were too short, and the 3-6-9 Arabic numerals weren’t fully luminescent, which made the layout feel a bit incomplete to purists. Rolex responded in 2016 with the Mark II dial. Longer hands and fully lumed 3-6-9 markers that restored visual balance and nighttime legibility. By 2021, this reference was discontinued entirely as Rolex returned the Explorer to 36mm and then later released the newer 40mm Explorer in 2023. That gives the 39mm 214270 a unique place in the lineup. It’s the only modern Explorer to occupy that in-between size. Slightly larger, still understated, and very much its own era of the model.
Friendly sales person , patient with all my questions. Very accommodating and understanding for the challenges getting to the bank due to the pandemic.
I bought an explorer from Bob's. They were very helpful explaining the purchase process. When I picked up my watch I was blown away. It's 4 years old but talk about mint . Just as good as buying new .
The watch came exactly as described with overnight AM shipping. Excellent condition with original box and warranty card.
Great service! From online purchasing, shipping and the product it's self, every step was great! I am very happy with my Rolex and will definitely buy my next watch from Bob's.
Had to make an exchange initially - super smooth, no hassle.
The used Rolex I got was less than 2 years old, but looked brand new! I was very impressed with how the watch looked as well as how good the original packaging/papers were. Very satisfied.
Watch in excellent condition as advertised. The bracelet was not.
