At Soobaak Vintage, there are a few key items that have truly broadened the horizons of our curation, and one that can never be overlooked is the Rolex Explorer 1.
It was the vintage Cartier Tank that first showed us that Soobaak could sell pieces priced in the 1 million KRW range, and it was the Explorer 1 (Ref. 114270) that revealed Soobaak’s potential to offer pieces worth up to 10 million KRW.
Whether expensive or affordable, we at Soobaak have a special fondness for simple, understated pieces. Of course, there are times when we can’t resist the allure of extravagant, flashy items—like a Piaget studded with diamonds, for example!
Looking at the list of celebrities who have worn the Explorer 1 with affection, our respect for this watch only grows: from Takuya Kimura and Matt Damon to Brad Pitt. When you think of these icons, it’s hard not to notice a common thread tying them together.
Rolex Explorer 1: Ref. 14270 / 114270 / 214270
They share many similarities, but the 114270 stands out for its slightly lower dial face density compared to the other references (see the 7th photo). Personally, I love that subtle empty feeling it gives.
I’m just speculating, but I highly doubt there’s any shop in South Korea that’s sold more Explorer 1s than Soobaak Vintage. In fact, this full set is only the second one we’ve had in 3 years. If you've been eyeing the Explorer 1, this is definitely a recommendation. Please enjoy it, and thank you as always for your support.
