Pic of the full set with new warranty card and a cap they threw in. Not something I’d wear but makes the set up nicely!

Could you please make some pictures of Exp I with Exp II Polar side by side? I have an Exp I and enjoy it a lot, but always thought that if I ever buy a vintage Rolex, it will be Exp II Polar.

Here’s a few pics.

The cases are very similar in size and depth. They both wear at a similar size too, in fact the 16570 appears slightly smaller on the wrist because the bigger bezel shrinks the dial size compared to the 214270.

Wow, thank you for taking the time to make those fantastic photos! Your Exp II looks great!

I have Exp I and Sub, and I can not believe how big Exp I wears live due to a large face and thin bezel. I have a 7.85 inch wrist and Exp I still fits perfectly, unlike any other 39mm watch.

Incoming...
Here’s a question I didn’t want to start a new thread for:

My new explorer is running at -10s/day. Pretty slow... Is there a chance that’s because it’s so new and the oils need time to sort of ‘warm up’ or something? Is that a thing? Should I take it to get regulated or give it a few weeks to see if it ‘settles in’?

I'd take it to AD for a quick checkup. It should not be running that inaccurate.

Congratulations!!! Great watch!!! One I'd definitely love to own. Recently picked up the Milgauss but that would have been an alternate choice!!!
