I've got and prefer the 40mm red hand model, but I sure don't dislike the 42mm either.

The 1655 might be the best looking Exp2, and I will never tire of looking at pics.
For me though, I love the new 216570.

I like the 216570 so much I actually prefer it over any other watch in my collection. It is just about as perfect as it gets for a wrist watch in my opinion. Best new Rolex, hands down.

I like the looks of my 16570. The red hand has a little dressier appearance, but I have to admit that the new orange hand makes it much more readable. It's growing on me.

I really didn't like the maxi case after I tried one on, I like a watch to sit down in my wrist and not on top of it

I had a black 1655, I have a white 16570, and I'm considering (amongst others) the 42mm... To answer your question I really enjoy them all a lot.

I like them all, but prefer the "red hand" 16570 version.
