New Casio Pathfinder PAG

Rolex's second announcement this year at BaselWorld 2010 was a redesigned Explorer. I've always loved the Explorer for its unparalleled simplicity and stark elegance, but at only 36 millimeters, it was a tad bit diminutive by today's standards. Not anymore. The size of the new Explorer is much more in line with modern expectations.Below is a list of everything that's new in the new Rolex Explorer: 39 millimeters rather than 36. That's only one millimeter smaller than their other tool watches (like the new Rolex Submariner Date). The movement now uses the new Parachrom Blue hairspring which we discussed previously in the context of the Rolex Milgauss. The now-standard signed chapter ring not my favorite new feature, but believe me, I wouldn't let it stop me from wearing one.The bracelet on the new Rolex Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA is one of the sturdiest and best designed dive bracelets we've ever seen.Advice for Buying a RolexIf you're thinking of buying a Rolex, the best piece of advice I can give you is "caveat emptor!" ("Buyer beware!") Do your research and know the product. If you're buying new, buy from a reputable authorized dealer, and you'll be perfectly fine. Buying used is trickier. Don't buy from anyone without a good, solid, verifiable reputation. If possible, meet in person, and to be extra sure your new watch is genuine, meet at either an authorized dealer or a watchmaker who can verify the authenticity before the deal is made.Forgeries are extremely sophisticated nowadays and are virtually indistinguishable from an authentic to the untrained eye.
