The new companion for my SubC and my beloved Explorer II

Thanks to my wife who start using my Explorer II right after the addition of the Sub C and don't want give it up to me again. So, she force me to get the new one

Sorry about the poor quality pics

spuds · 1 November 2011, 07:17 AM

Great call!
Congratulations mate.....

(& even as a fellow Exp2-42 owner I'm surprised what a monster it appears in your shots!)

Duck9000 · 1 November 2011, 07:18 AM

Thanks!

Yes, the big and the baby Explorer II

Rags · 1 November 2011, 07:20 AM

Nice comparison shot.

TSW · 1 November 2011, 07:28 AM

Congrats!

RRGHOST1 · 1 November 2011, 07:33 AM

I think i prefer the older Exp II. look good as a comparison pic !

yannis · 1 November 2011, 08:06 AM

Congrats mate, nice watches!!!

fespo276 · 1 November 2011, 08:15 AM

I think that first shot really gives a good sense of the larger size, at least to my eye. I think it looks great!! Congrats!

prullo · 1 November 2011, 09:15 AM

I'd like to see a SDDS in that wrist shot as well

chicagofan · 1 November 2011, 11:01 AM

Interesting comparison pics. Thanks for sharing.

Actsulb · 1 November 2011, 11:28 AM

Congrats!

Atomant · 4 November 2011, 04:36 AM

Wow the new explorer looks very much larger when compared side to side with the 16570. 3 mm does makes a difference.

SWIMPRUF · 4 November 2011, 10:21 PM

Congrats!

Spikedlee · 5 November 2011, 03:52 PM

Wow the new Explorer II is such a beast in comparison to the old! Strange because my Panerai doesn't really feel big and that's 44mm!

dddrees · 5 November 2011, 09:06 PM

Nice one, Congrats.

Thanks for sharing the comparison PICs.

laphroaig007 · 6 November 2011, 12:40 AM

Congrats. The new one looks nice to me, I've tried it on my wrist, but the large dials don't feel fine for me. So I skipped my place.

paultran37 · 6 November 2011, 01:20 AM

VERY NICE!!!!

sea-dweller · 6 November 2011, 02:03 AM

Congrats!

FeelingTheBlues · 13 November 2011, 04:32 PM

Surprisingly big when you compare it to the Submariner! Congratulations and wear it in good health!

F430Spider · 17 November 2011, 11:16 AM

Wow! I didnt realize myself the size difference - havent seen one in person as all the dealers are sold out

rockmastermike · 17 November 2011, 11:51 AM

as an owner of an older 16570, thanks for the comparison shot....it really tells the story of the size difference. how does it compare in comfort and wearability?

turbo1 · 20 November 2011, 02:52 AM

Pardon my ignorance I know of the beauty on the right, but what is the background of the watch on the left. Never seen it before.

Great Comparison.

turbo1 · 11 December 2011, 03:03 PM

I don't know, maybe it's me. Maybe the original EXP2 is timeless but I am not a fan of the newer look.

esm · 11 December 2011, 05:15 PM

Nice pix - could it be the camera angle to make the 216570 looking alot bigger than its "neighbours"?!?

balak · 11 December 2011, 10:28 PM

Very helpful!!!In the future we must see an Exp vs dssd photo!!!
