That’s the sharpest Explorer I’ve ever seen, very sharp!

That’s a beauty. Much prefer this to the modern 42mm Explorers.

I’ve had both dials in the Expl. II line and the black dial was easiest to read IMHO.

Good buy.

Beautiful. Tried on an Explorer for the first time earlier this week. Local AD had just got three. White dial is neat, but black dial was classy. Love it!

Love it, I have the Polar 16570, but this black one is great too. I think they’re the best deal in Rolexes right now and I like the 40mm much better than the 42. Congratulations!
