From your pictures, it looks good to me.

DanG · 16 July 2013, 02:40 PM

Looks like a nice Explorer II.

JohnBoy · 16 July 2013, 02:45 PM

It looks just fine to me!

sea-dweller · 16 July 2013, 02:51 PM

Looks OK!

samsmart · 16 July 2013, 02:52 PM

I am not an expert by any means, but the crown looks a little off. I could be totally wrong though.

Looks like a nice expy II in great shape! If the price is right grab it! I think they are under valued in the pre-loved market. Keep us posted!

Legit but someone over polished the lugs a bit.

This really important to me as a newbie in the world of rolex

Hope it's a good price. Best value in a Rolex GMT is the 16570 black dial

Annan · 16 July 2013, 11:39 PM

I'm no expert but I do own a 16570 myself (M series) and it looks right to me. Perhaps it's a reflection off the Cyclops but it looks like there's something in the date window, around the edge of the aperture, perhaps corrosion of some sort?

Appears to be the reflection of the gentleman's finger.

Annan · 17 July 2013, 12:28 AM

Maybe....I'm looking at the dark line along the upper edge of the date window in picture #1 and the triangular shaped mark at the right upper corner in picture #2. Just thinking it might be something that needs attention.

Annan · 17 July 2013, 04:20 AM

Yep....now starting to think this is indeed a reflection of the OP's finger as well as the camera itself. Moving on..................

It also looks strange to me, the Rolex crown sits very high on it, but it could be normal for that year for all I know. I'm not quite as familiar with the older models. I also think the bezel/crystal thickness looks a little too thick but again, it could well be normal.
