The main way is to open the caseback and see if the gears are colored.

I inherited it from my Grandfather. My brother gave it to me as a gift. There are either a lot of fakes or a lot of ***** relatives. |

I never owned an explorer but from what I understand they use the same movement as a GMT II so therefore Hour hand should be on the bottom. Someone correct me if Im wrong. I just looked at my GMT II C and Non Ceramic pics (previous watches I owned), hour hand was on the bottom.
