JJ was right!!!

Well, I picked up a P serial polar dial EXP II today and......man I thought the SUB was a comfortable watch, but it has nothing on the EXP II.
The EXP II is the most comfortable watch I have ever worn.



JJ you are wise beyond the ages.
Thanks

don't tell your butcher, JJ! looks like his scale is off, so you're getting some free mutton every time you go see him.

oh, and, congrats on the watch, OP! i've had mine for about 3 weeks now and i'm considering getting it permanently affixed to my wrist, i like it so much.

I have a GMT II Z series, feels the same on the wrist as the Exp II, and these are bar none the most comfortable Rolexes out there. Light, low profile and well-balanced.

I agree with it being the most comfortable.

The caseback is flatter than those of the Subs, which is rounder, for WR.

That this is sweet! And yes I think you are right, the explorer 2 feels like air around the wrist.

I want one, can't get my mind off the exp II in white. I have never seen one in the flesh. I recently bought a box of national geographic magazines, every second magazine had the exp II in white. I kept saying to my wife see see there is another one (she doesn't really get it though)

My first memories of the EXP II were the ads in Nat Geo magazine. They always featured wild places I want to be, and always the white dial.
