The Rolex Explorer 124273 is the 36mm Rolesor adventurer watch Rolex introduced in April 2023 at Watches & Wonders Geneva. This super clone offers the 124273-0001 specification with a black lacquer dial, applied 18k yellow gold tone hour markers, Chromalight 3-6-9 numerals, smooth yellow gold tone bezel, and the Caliber 3230 architecture, priced at $1,499. The sections below cover the case build, dial layout, movement spec, and bracelet construction in detail.
The Explorer 124273 super clone features a 36mm Rolesor case measuring 11.5mm thick, built on a 904L Oystersteel core with high-grade 18k yellow gold PVD on the bezel and crown for long-term color retention. The 2023 Explorer redesign marked the first two-tone Explorer in Rolex history, and this clone holds that two-tone case geometry at CNC-machined tolerance.
The case finishing follows the Explorer's understated sport-tool grammar with the warmth of yellow gold accents. Satin brushing runs across the top of the lugs and case top. Polished facets frame the case flanks and the smooth gold tone bezel for high-contrast light play. The crown guards integrate cleanly into the case middle and shield the screw-down Twinlock crown without breaking the silhouette.
Anti-reflective sapphire crystal sits over the dial for scratch resistance and glare-free legibility. A solid screw-down Oyster caseback seals the movement against water, dust, and shock. The screw-down Twinlock crown at 3 o'clock holds 100 meters of water resistance on the Explorer 124273, which suits swimming, snorkeling, and trail-side rain exposure for daily wear.
The Explorer 124273 super clone features a glossy black lacquer dial with the signature 3, 6, and 9 Arabic numerals in 18k yellow gold tone, each filled with Chromalight luminescent material. The applied baton hour markers at the other positions also carry yellow gold tone surrounds with Chromalight inserts, matching the warm-on-black contrast that defines the Rolesor Explorer's visual identity.
The Explorer 124273 carries Mercedes-style hour and minute hands in yellow gold tone with Chromalight fill, paired with a slim seconds hand for clean tracking against the lacquer surface. The applied Rolex coronet sits above the "Rolex" wordmark at 12 o'clock in yellow gold tone, and the "Explorer" script in white print sits below. The "Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified" four-line text at 6 o'clock confirms the 2023 specification.
The Chromalight luminescent material glows blue across the 3-6-9 numerals, the applied baton markers, the 12-position triangle, and the Mercedes handset after a short light charge. The black lacquer dial offers high-contrast legibility against the warm gold tone markers in daylight and the long-burn blue lume in darkness. Adventurer-watch legibility holds across daylight, dusk, and cave-side dark conditions for travel, hike, and night-wake reading.
The Explorer 124273 super clone runs on a Swiss-grade automatic movement engineered to match the genuine Caliber 3230 in frequency, autonomy, and rotor feel. The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, holds 70 hours of power reserve, and uses a Perpetual rotor for bidirectional automatic winding. The genuine Caliber 3230 carries Rolex's Chronergy escapement, Paraflex shock absorbers, and a Parachrom paramagnetic hairspring, and the clone caliber replicates the layout and operating parameters under the solid Oyster caseback.
Daily deviation holds within -5 to +10 seconds per day on the Explorer 124273 super clone after factory regulation. The movement carries decorative finishing on the bridges and uses a free-sprung balance with regulating weights for shock resistance. The Perpetual rotor matches the genuine Caliber 3230's bidirectional winding pattern for full-charge maintenance from daily wear alone.

The Explorer 124273 super clone features a 3-link Oyster bracelet in matching Rolesor two-tone, with satin-brushed Oystersteel outer links framing polished 18k yellow gold tone center links. The bracelet tapers from 20mm at the case to 16mm at the clasp. The Oysterlock folding safety clasp matches the genuine reference's security mechanism, and the Easylink 5mm comfort extension sits inside the clasp for on-the-fly sizing.
The Explorer 124273 super clone weighs 140 grams approximately on the full Oyster bracelet, matching the wrist feel of the genuine Rolesor reference within a 5-gram margin. The 36mm case sits flush on 6.0-inch to 7.5-inch wrists, with a 44mm lug-to-lug measurement. The Easylink extension offers 5mm of in-clasp adjustment for hot-weather wrist swell or layered-cuff wear in cold climates.

Buyers select the Explorer 124273 for the dress-sport crossover of yellow gold against the black lacquer dial and for the unique two-tone Explorer position in Rolex's catalog. Steel-only buyers lean toward the 124270 for the original Explorer aesthetic and the lower entry price. The 224270 attracts buyers who prefer the larger 40mm presence of the previous-generation Explorer 214270 sizing.
The Rolex Explorer has its roots in the 1953 Everest expedition led by Sir John Hunt, when Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay carried Rolex Oyster Perpetual watches to the summit on 29 May 1953. Rolex launched the official Explorer reference 6350 later that year as a tribute to the climb, and the model carried the same name for 7 decades across multiple case generations. The Explorer 124273 debuted in April 2023 at Watches & Wonders Geneva, introducing 4 firsts over the prior 36mm steel-only 124270. The 4 firsts are listed below.
The Explorer 124273 super clone sits in that mountaineering lineage as the current 36mm Rolesor reference, carrying 7 decades of Rolex Explorer heritage on the wrist at a fraction of the retail price.

Real owners of the Explorer 124273 super clone share the wrist-side verdict on dial accuracy, gold tone retention, and shipping experience. Ratings average 4.9 / 5 across 138 verified orders.
"I cross-checked this Explorer 124273 super clone against my brother's authentic 124273 under shop lighting. The yellow gold center links sit at the same warmth as his solid gold caps, and the bezel polish catches light identically. The black lacquer dial depth is the part that surprised me at this price."
"The 3, 6, and 9 in yellow gold tone with the blue Chromalight overnight lume match my reference photos pixel for pixel. The Mercedes hands sit at the correct angle and the seconds hand sweeps smooth without the tick most clones still show. Customs cleared through Dubai without a flag in 6 days."
"Was on the Rolex authorized-dealer wait list for the genuine 124273 for 14 months and gave up. WhatsApp support sent a 90-second QC video before shipment. The watch arrived in the green presentation box, weight matched a friend's authentic Explorer Rolesor within 4 grams, and the Oysterlock clasp clicks the way the real one does."
Yes, the Rolex Explorer 124273 sold on Super Clone Watches is a 1:1 super clone that delivers 98% visual and dimensional accuracy to the genuine Rolex reference. The partner factory production techniques deliver black lacquer dial depth, Rolesor two-tone bracelet finish, and Oysterlock clasp feel that match the original within tight tolerance. The price of $1,499 compares to roughly $10,800 for the authentic Rolesor 124273 at authorized Rolex dealers.
A Swiss-grade automatic movement powers this Explorer 124273 super clone, engineered to match the genuine Rolex Caliber 3230 in frequency, autonomy, and winding pattern. The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, holds 70 hours of power reserve, and uses a bidirectional Perpetual rotor for automatic winding. Performance matches the Caliber 3230 specifications on frequency and 70-hour autonomy, with the movement housed under the solid Oyster caseback.
The Explorer 124273 super clone uses high-grade 18k yellow gold PVD over a 904L Oystersteel core on the bezel and bracelet center links rather than solid 18k yellow gold. This construction delivers the exact visual tone, weight parity within a 5-gram margin, and durable color retention for daily wear. Solid 18k yellow gold on the genuine Rolesor Explorer adds approximately $4,500 to the manufacturing cost without changing the wrist-side appearance.
The black lacquer dial on the Explorer 124273 super clone reaches 98% accuracy to the genuine Rolex dial through partner factory print and finish techniques. The 3, 6, and 9 Arabic numerals carry yellow gold tone application with Chromalight that glows blue overnight, matching the 2023 specification Rolex set for the Rolesor variant. The applied Rolex coronet, white "Explorer" script, and four-line "Superlative Chronometer" text at 6 o'clock follow the exact placement of the genuine specification.
The authentic Rolex Explorer 124273 retails at approximately $10,800 at authorized Rolex dealers and trades between $9,800 and $13,500 on the secondary market depending on year and condition. This super clone sells for $1,499, delivering 98% visual and functional parity at roughly 14% of the genuine retail price. Buyers receive the full Rolesor Explorer wrist presence without the multi-thousand-dollar capital outlay or the long authorized-dealer waitlist.
Yes, the Explorer 124273 super clone offers 100 meters of water resistance through the screw-down Twinlock crown and the solid Oyster caseback. The crown screws flush against the case middle at 3 o'clock for seal integrity against splash, shower, and shallow-swim exposure. The 10 ATM pressure rating covers daily wear, rain, swimming, and snorkeling without compromise to the movement chamber.
The Explorer 124273 super clone ships via DHL Express or FedEx Priority with full insurance, discreet packaging, and tracked signature-required delivery. Transit time runs 5 to 10 business days to the USA, UK, UAE, India, and Europe. Shipping cost is included in the $1,499 price, and customs handling guidance comes with every order confirmation email.
A 1-year limited warranty covers movement defects and manufacturing faults on the Explorer 124273 super clone.
