Rolex reintroduced a 40 mm Explorer in 2023 alongside the 36 mm 124270. Its black dial and 3-6-9 numerals keep the classic look.
Who it’s for
Buyers who like the Explorer but want a larger case.
Buying tips
- Trades a little above the 36 mm version.
- Look for crisp case edges and an unpolished finish.
- No date and no bezel make it very versatile.
