Glad to know you finally had your watch after a year but please don't make us wait that long for the pictures.

Seems to be an Exp II epidemic here... we may need a medic?

Thanks. I've worn a DeepSea since Feb '09. After wearing a Panerai for so long, it was hard to wear a smaller watch. So when the DeepSea came out, it was what I wanted. A larger Rolex. But, in my heart, I have always loved the Polar Explorer, and missed the one I had sold for the DeepSea. When this was announced at Basel, I knew the day would come when I'd have to sell the DeepSea to get this one. I went back and forth on it for months, but in the end, I just HAD to have this watch. I got a great deal on here from Tony G... i couldn't be happier! Thanks to you guys, and the other Exp 2 owners who put up such awesome pix, you guys helped me so much. I'll miss my DeepSea, but a little orange will always make it better.

I am glad to see that the ExpII42 is really getting popular around here! I just picked mine up this week and couldn't be happier with it. Enjoy it in good health.

Congrats on your new watch! What made you choose the white dial over the black besides you liking the white more? Because with the black dial, the orange hand stands out more brightly & so does the rest of the dial.......

Hey Rolexman, Well, I've owned 3 Subs ( still have an old one, but it's currently on my brothers wrist in Thailand ), 1 Sea Dweller, 1 DeepSea, 1 Exp 2 Polar, and 1 Exp 2 black. The DeepSea aside, all of the black face watches, and this is my opinion, look kind of standard. I mean, from 20 feet away, most black face dive watches in that style, whether they are Rolex's, or Omega's, etc, look sort of similar. The me, the white face just stands out. Not even other white face dive watches have the " X factor" that his one has. With the update in size and orange hand, it's now the perfect Rolex to me. I absolutely love it. D |

It makes sense that you have several watches & they are all black dials, so a nice white one would be the way to go........congrats & enjoy! |

But black or white, the 216570 is awesome and David's dial photo has inspired me to change over to my polar for the rest of the day. Congratulations, David. Fr. John† |
