Rolex Explorer II 42mm 216570

[fernango]

Hi:

I have seen the new Rolex Explorer II, but something is wrong:
The crown has 3 positions, position 1 is used to manually wind the watch, in position 2, when turning the crown clockwise or counterclockwise the 12 hour hand jumps in 1 hour segments, and you can adjust the date in this manner (advancing forward or backward the crown to increase or decrease the date), also the date changes slowly, not quickly as the Rolex Submariner Date, and in the crown in position 3 you can adjust the 24 hour hand and the minute hand.
In some Youtube videos, when the crown is in the position 2, the 12 hour hand does not jump in 1 hour intervals, but turning the crown in position 2 advances directly the date (you don´t have to fast forward the 12 hour hand to change the date) Are there two models of Rolex Explorer II? What is the behaviour of the true Rolex Explorer II 216570?

thanks

Yes there are 2 different models of 216570 Explorer 2.

The first is made in Switzerland by Rolex, and correspond to what you experienced by yourself with the crown.

The second is made (generally) in China, and is far less expensive. The name of the company making it isn't Rolex of Switzerland, but Fake-You.

Go with door number one.

Door number two leads you down a dark dreary alley.

The hour hand is supposed to jump like that.
