I love the Explorer ii
Can't post pics from I Pad any more, no idea why.
Anyway, picked up mine (Black Dial) last weekend and thinks it's awesome.

Great watch Joe. Not as great as your divers, but a nice reference to change the Sub mood.

It's probably my favorite model from the entire lineup. Would love to add a cream 16550 one day.

IMO the 16570 is one of the great modern Rolexes and very under appreciated. Hardly ubiquitous, it's a great piece to see and wear for adventures across different time zones….

Both are nice in reference or color - no wrong move here.

On the 29th I will have owned my 216570 for one month. It's my favorite watch in the collection.
