Anyone ever put a red, or roulette, date wheel on the previous Explorer II? Maybe its just me but I think it would spruce up the look a bit, Especially on the polar 16570. Is this even possible?

I think it would be possible.

I think it would take away the understated look a bit. I really like the small splash of color on the GMT hand, just the right amount.

Why would you want to tamper with your watch?

Not that I will, just wondering if anyone has & if they could post pics.

Paging Jocke....
Mr. Jocke...please report to the franken-wing

If it can be done, I'm sure Jocke has tried it. Did you see him homage Explorer II thread yet?

Actually a cool idea if you ask me. A red date wheel would be pretty subtle and also compliment the GMT hand.

I remember seeing a post a while back (probably by Jocke) with a green date wheel on a GMT IIC. I thought that looked fantastic!

I'm curious too. I think it would look cool. I have no problem with it if it is a Rolex date wheel.

That sounds pretty cool.
