Strangely becoming drawn to the Explorer II

[aboen]

next to my DSSD and GMT IIc is a distance third.

The Exp II was the first Rolex I lusted for. It's a sensationally good-looking watch, not forgetting the most comfortable in the whole range

when i saw the clasp i quickly threw it aside and went for the other ones. so not worth it.

Anyone else been in my position of not liking the Explorer II but finding it growing on you? Anyone originally not like it only to buy one and fall in love with it?

Yep exactly that and it's a keeper (Along with my Milgauss).

Skiing and traveling are two of my greatest passions....Not sure there is another Rolex that fits the bill....Added bonus that it looks great, that it's ultra comfortable and tough and that it's stealth.

With les Dents du Midi:

I have a GMT II since 1988 ....same thing ...finally bought EXPL II a few months ago. I wear it every day. It is thinner, as bezel is not as thick ..it is fresh and less dramatic ....it is a classy sport watch for every day use...it is lighter and it feels like wearing a piece of ice ...the white and the steel gives it an icy feel ....do it

Current m and v serial eii's are your last chance to get non maxi dial and non maxi case 3186 movement watch. Sloped bezel is the key to its exceptional comfort.

i own one polar the last week and for a strange reason day after day i like it more and more!!it was a watch i didnt have in my mind to buy because it is a low profile model without to many fans to speak about it..

This spices it up a bit and in a great way!
