What is the difference between EXPLORER I 14270 and 114270?
When you want Explorer 1, the first candidates are Ref.14270 and Ref.114270, aren't you?
Ref.1016 has a vintage feel and looks good, but the price is 3 digits and it is not easy to buy (from 2 million yen with paper guarantee), so it is realistic. When it comes to buying it, I think it will be this model.
There are Ref.14270 and Ref.114270 as I researched various things, but what's the difference? Many people will notice that.
Since the watches look almost the same, we will introduce the differences in an easy-to-understand manner even for those who do not understand what is different.
Now let's see the difference between ROLEX Explorer I Ref.14270 and Ref.114270.
First, check the difference in the list 
Look at the table above, huh? I think there is something I thought. The difference between SS (stainless steel) 316L and 904L is that 904L is better for corrosion resistance and wear resistance.
The problem is the night light, isn't it?
Difference between Luminova and Super Luminova
The difference between Luminova and Super Luminova is the way they shine.
The material is the same, but Super Luminova is said to shine better than Luminova.
SWISS (Swiss Only) = Luminova
SWISS MADE = Super Luminova
It's easy to understand if you think this way.
Compare with real photos
First, let's take a look at each model with a photo.
Difference in dial (dial) 
Explorer I Ref.14270 
Explorer I Ref.114270
That? Did you line up the pictures of the same clock? It looks the same.
If you actually put the two models side by side and look at them from the front, you can't tell the difference. The same 36mm case size, hands and indexes have the same design, so it's natural that you can't tell at a glance.
Basically, the index of 3, 6 and 9 is a luminous index with a metal frame.
However, there are different dials in the initial lot.
Blackout dial
Blackout Silver Letter
Quote: https://monochrome-watches.com
The difference from a normal dial is that the index of the numbers "3, 6, 9" has a black line instead of a white line.
This blackout dial is a dial seen in the initial lot, and among the blackouts, two types of blackouts, one with the letters in the lower three lines of the Rolex logo printed in silver and the other in white, are confirmed. It has been.
Trichinova
What is Trichinova? I think that. Despite the notation "T SWISS --T <25", there is a dial that uses Luminova in the night light.
There is only a brief period of transition from tritium luminous to luminova luminous.
This is a common phenomenon during the transition period of Rolex models and materials, but this is also a rare model and its market value is high.
Luminous paint
Tritium Luminous "T SWISS-T <25" (1991-1998)
ROLEX Explorer I Ref.14270 Tritium
T SWISS --T <25 notation
What is the most obvious difference when comparing Explorer I 14270 and Explorer I 114270? When it comes to this, there is a notation of "T SWISS --T <25" that represents the tritium luminous that was produced until the end of the 1990s.
The meaning of "T SWISS --T <25" means that the radiation dose of tritium used for luminous is less than 25mCi (millimeter).
Luminova Luminous "SWISS" (1998-1999 2 years only)
ROLEX Explorer I Ref.14270 "SWISS (Swiss-Only)" notation dial
A dial with only SWISS notation made only for about two years from 1998 to 1999 during the transition period from tritium to luminova. The night light is Luminova night light.
Super Luminova Luminous "SWISS MADE" (around 1999-2001)
SWISS MADE notation
It was unified to "SWISS MADE" notation from around 1999 when all of Super Luminova Luminous was transferred.
By the way, this SWISS MADE notation is also used in the chromalite currently in use.
In the luminous of 14270 and 114270, only the hands and bar index part shine, and the number part of 369 does not shine.
The numbers 3, 6 and 9 are not shining
You can see that the second hand, short hand, long hand and bar index are shining.
Differences between cases and bracelets
The biggest difference in appearance is the shape of the flash fit part (lug part) and the horizontal hole for passing the spring rod.
Differences in cases
Ref.14270 is a model manufactured from 1989 to 2001, but the one manufactured between 1989 and 1995 had a horizontal hole in the case.
There is a side hole
No side holes
For models after that (after 1995), the side hole of the case was closed and there was no side hole as shown in the picture.
Difference in flash fit part
Ref.14270
Ref.114270
Looking closely at the flash fit part, Ref.14270 has a joint in the middle part, but Ref.114270 has no joint and is integrated.
Although it is a slight difference, it is easier to handle and feels better when worn.
Bracelet
Like the side hole of the case, the bracelet was a single lock clasp (78360 / FF558B) until around 1995.
Single lock clasp
Single lock clasp / folding clasp (English-speaking name)
At the same time as the side hole disappeared around 1995, the breath changed and it was changed to the double lock clasp (78790 /)
Double lock clasp (buckle) / Flip lock clasp (English-speaking name)
Double lock clasp
Since 1995, all sports models have been changed to this double lock clasp, and it continues to this day.
With this, the buckle does not come off and drop, and it is safer.

As a change from Cal.1570, which is the movement before Cal.3000, the frequency has been increased from 19800 vibrations per hour to 8 vibrations per second / 28,800 vibrations per hour.
One of the features of Cal.3000 is that the balance spring is used for the balance spring.
This movement is also used on other non-date models, including the Explorer 1 14270, as well as the Air King 14000, Submariner 14060 and Oyster Perpetual 14203.
Ref.114270 ... Cal.3130
Cal.3130
The features of this movement are that it is possible to operate only the short hand and that the plate that supports the balance is a twin bridge, which makes it more stable.
In addition, the accuracy due to the difference in posture has become more stable by changing the balance spring from the flat-beard balance spring used in the previous non-date movement Cal.3000 to the roll-up balance spring.
In 2012, the material of the balance spring was changed to blue parachrome, which further improved the magnetic resistance and impact resistance.
The power reserve is about 48 hours.
Cal.3130 is used in Explorer I 114270, Rolex Submariner 114060, 14060M and Air King 14000M.
Summary
Rolex Explorer I As a decisive factor when wondering which to buy with "Ref.14270" or "Ref.114270"

-Which movement is better, Cal.3000 or Cal3130?
I think
etc. will be a big point. I think
Compared to other sports models (Submariner, GMT Master, etc.), this Explorer I Ref.14270 and ref.114270 are one of the recommended points because they are easy to buy.
After all, it's good that the 36mm case, which is a small case size for a sports model, is easy to match with any outfit, even though it is a sports model.
In addition, it is thin and weighs about 100g including breath, so it can be said that it is suitable for daily use.
The 36mm case fits nicely. The model's arm circumference is 16.5 cm
The thickness is so thin, and it's as light as 100g.
Of course, it goes well with beautiful styles (jackets, shirts with collars, etc.), so you can wear it during work, and this watch is perfect for off-the-shelf styles (jeans, hoodies, etc.). The good point of.
The biggest feature of Explorer I is that it is sturdy and can be used daily without worrying about it.
If you have this watch, you can handle any situation with almighty, so you may not need another watch with just this one, but you can experience the goodness of Rolex by wearing this watch. I think that other Rolex will be worried because it can be done.
This is a model that I would like people who are buying Rolex for the first time to consider.

As a change from Cal.1570, which is the movement before Cal.3000, the frequency has been increased from 19800 vibrations per hour to 8 vibrations per second / 28,800 vibrations per hour.
One of the features of Cal.3000 is that the balance spring is used for the balance spring.
This movement is also used on other non-date models, including the Explorer 1 14270, as well as the Air King 14000, Submariner 14060 and Oyster Perpetual 14203.
Ref.114270 ... Cal.3130
Cal.3130
The features of this movement are that it is possible to operate only the short hand and that the plate that supports the balance is a twin bridge, which makes it more stable.
In addition, the accuracy due to the difference in posture has become more stable by changing the balance spring from the flat-beard balance spring used in the previous non-date movement Cal.3000 to the roll-up balance spring.
In 2012, the material of the balance spring was changed to blue parachrome, which further improved the magnetic resistance and impact resistance.
The power reserve is about 48 hours.
Cal.3130 is used in Explorer I 114270, Rolex Submariner 114060, 14060M and Air King 14000M.
Summary
Rolex Explorer I As a decisive factor when wondering which to buy with "Ref.14270" or "Ref.114270"
・ Is it a tritium luminous dial? (Tritium Luminous "T SWISS-T <25" (1991-1998)
・ Is the breath a single lock clasp? (Models from 1989 to 1995)
-Which movement is better, Cal.3000 or Cal3130?
I think
etc. will be a big point. I think
Compared to other sports models (Submariner, GMT Master, etc.), this Explorer I Ref.14270 and ref.114270 are one of the recommended points because they are easy to buy.
After all, it's good that the 36mm case, which is a small case size for a sports model, is easy to match with any outfit, even though it is a sports model.
In addition, it is thin and weighs about 100g including breath, so it can be said that it is suitable for daily use.
The 36mm case fits nicely. The model's arm circumference is 16.5 cm
The thickness is so thin, and it's as light as 100g.
Of course, it goes well with beautiful styles (jackets, shirts with collars, etc.), so you can wear it during work, and this watch is perfect for off-the-shelf styles (jeans, hoodies, etc.). The good point of.
The biggest feature of Explorer I is that it is sturdy and can be used daily without worrying about it.
If you have this watch, you can handle any situation with almighty, so you may not need another watch with just this one, but you can experience the goodness of Rolex by wearing this watch. I think that other Rolex will be worried because it can be done.
This is a model that I would like people who are buying Rolex for the first time to consider.
.
It was unified to "SWISS MADE" notation from around 1999 when all of Super Luminova Luminous was transferred.
By the way, this SWISS MADE notation is also used in the chromalite currently in use.
In the luminous of 14270 and 114270, only the hands and bar index part shine, and the number part of 369 does not shine.
You can see that the second hand, short hand, long hand and bar index are shining.
The biggest difference in appearance is the shape of the flash fit part (lug part) and the horizontal hole for passing the spring rod.
Ref.14270 is a model manufactured from 1989 to 2001, but the one manufactured between 1989 and 1995 had a horizontal hole in the case.
For models after that (after 1995), the side hole of the case was closed and there was no side hole as shown in the picture.
Looking closely at the flash fit part, Ref.14270 has a joint in the middle part, but Ref.114270 has no joint and is integrated.
Although it is a slight difference, it is easier to handle and feels better when worn.
Like the side hole of the case, the bracelet was a single lock clasp (78360 / FF558B) until around 1995.
Single lock clasp / folding clasp (English-speaking name)
At the same time as the side hole disappeared around 1995, the breath changed and it was changed to the double lock clasp (78790 /)
Double lock clasp (buckle) / Flip lock clasp (English-speaking name)
Since 1995, all sports models have been changed to this double lock clasp, and it continues to this day.
With this, the buckle does not come off and drop, and it is safer.
・ Ref.14270 ... No roulette stamp
・ Ref.114270 ... Around 2001-2007 No roulette stamp
Without roulette stamp, the inner circumference of the middle case is satin-finished, and there is no stamp such as cereal.
Ref.114270 ... The 2007-2010 model has a ROLEX + serial number engraved on the inner circumference of the dollar case as shown in the photo.
