It’s a two tone submariner, a bluesy

Looks like this guy has similar wrist size to mine!

As I mentioned above, I’ve talked to the AD and he’s gonna let me know when he gets one.

I’ll keep y’all updated

Thanks !

Do you still have it or did you sell it? How do you think the bluesy wears on your wrist? When I was picking up my HULK they had a bluesy in the case. I always liked them but I’m not a huge two tone sports Rolex fan even though they do it the best in the business. Maybe id get a CHNR if I could ever try one on in person. I save the flash for my dressier watches.

I sold it.

Allow me to explain.

The bluesy was my first Rolex. When browsing the website, I just picked what to me was the most beautiful watch, and bought it.

I didn’t take versatility, flashiness or any of that into consideration, and I wanted a watch that I could wear daily.

After a few months of wearing it, I started to realize that the watch was a little too flashy for everyday wear, given my personal style, so I sold it.

The watch wore well, although I was kind of obsessed with the glide lock feature and would mess with it almost every day.

However, having a super jubilee bracelet now, I feel like the jubilee is a lot more comfortable than the oyster, although I do admit, I miss the extra security of the “flip lock” on the oyster bracelet for the submariner

Explorer II is a beautiful watch no matter what size it is.

Oddly enough I think my DJ is more flashy and slightly less versatile on jubilee. But the bluesy is flashy in its own way. In the end buy what you like. I think a GMT on jubilee might be your perfect watch or a sub to match with your DJ36.

I'd say that the 16570 is a better option for your wrist size from my experience of owning one!

[DDDan]

They’re so cool.

Now I’m kind of interested in that one too haha

My wrist is 6.75 inches

Do you think I can pull it off? My daily is a 36mm Datejust

Also, does the explorer 2 wear a lot bigger than a 6 digit submariner?

Lastly, post any pics of your explorer 2!

I had a modern Sub and, also, E2 (42mm).

E2 wears bigger than the Sub. It wears big, like a Panerai.
If I were you Id stay with 36-40mm range. I sold the E2 'cos it always felt too big for me, although I liked it a lot.

My wrist size is pretty much same as yours.

On a 6.8 inch wrist. I found it absolutely acceptable size wise

[opaline460]

6.7 wrist

I’m on the waiting list for a SS GMT, but seeing the Explorer 2 on someone’s wrist...

It made me realize how nice of a watch it is with the fully brushed bracelet, and brushed non-rotating bezel

With its low profile case, slender lugs and smaller twinlock crown I think you'd like it. I find it more comfy than my Sub as well. Truly a one of a kind piece

I'm about the same wrist size 6.7ish and it's the largest watch I own. I think it looks good. I've been tempted to sell it for the later 5-digit white dial for a change.

The close up photos always make them look a little magnified vs seeing the watch on in person. When it arrives with your AD only you can be the judge

I agree with this...I have 7.25 wrist and definitely wouldn’t want to go any bigger. It wears large especially the Polar...but it is a truly proper Rolex tool watch. Tough as hell and GMT Function to boot.

[RolexKris]

Explorer II is an amazing watch. I think your wrist is large enough to pull it off. It just comes down to personal preference.

But if it were me, I would go with the 16570. My wrist is a shade over 7 inches and if the 216570 were any larger it would be too big for my taste.

[Mike Barnard]

The Polar looks best in 40mm. The 42mm Polar looks too big.

The 42mm looks better in black.
