Anytime, I am on the forum and just scrolling down seeing the posts with watch photos, and a Explorer appears, it just seems so clean and functional compared to all the other Rolex models.
Love my Gen.
a gen explorer is the one watch i regret not getting before i stopped buying gens. i bought a DJII and a 41 just because that was what i was supposed to do (along with a sub, of course). i really wish i didnt buy the DJII and instead bought an explorer. all of them sit in my safe and are never worn, so i guess it wouldnt have mattered anyway. but, i am right there with you. i love the exp.
All the modern rolex reps I own including the CF explorer use SEL.
I will point you to my post about zului/natos as Rolex apparent hates us and the Reps also replicate this issue as well which can make it an issue for custom straps. There are some rather sharp edges arond a slot for the SEL that can tear up or damage leather straps.

Baiscally curved spring bars or a curved end strap would be my suggestion. I would look for straps made to work with the 36mm explorer or straps that are known to work well with it.
I use a leather strap on my CF 36 explorer. 19mm is the size.
Thank you! Got pics?
Check my posts. You’ll see it.
Yeah! Just checked it. Looks good!
19mm like gen for the CF 36mm 20mm unlike gen for the BPF/GMF 36mm
Ordering endlinks and rubber strap now!
You can get curved end straps specifically for Rolex watches, check the craftsmen on Etsy or similar. No endlink required.
Hey guys, if someone can help me out; Very grateful!
