16570 hand colors
Tried the search but couldn't find my answer.
Lately, I've been itching for a watch with a GMT hand and have narrowed it down to the GMT Master-II (116710LN) or the previous gen Explorer II (16570). I tried on the new version of the Exp II and although my puny 7 inch wrists could seemingly pull it off, it looked a bit cartoonish to me (had a feeling I'd think it was too big in a few years). Leaning towards the 16570 because it flies under the radar a bit more than the GMT Master-II, which has that classic Rolex-style bezel....which is now shiny ceramic. I've managed to locate a 16570 NOS at a dealer. However, it is the black dial version (I prefer the polar). The SA mentioned over the phone that he could contact Rolex to see if they'd swap the dial and said it would be done at no cost, which is news to me because everything I've read says otherwise. I was wondering if I would have to swap the hands as well, but it's hard to tell from online photos. In some, the black dial version's hands appear to have silver outline while in other photos, they appear black like on the polar Exp II. Can anyone clarify? If I wanted to replace both the dial and the hands, any idea what the estimated cost would be? Thanks in advance. |
