I'm just not a fan of the 16570; black/polar. Too similar to the 16710. The "New" Explorer 2 is much more its own thing.

Especially considering the 16570 is white and noticeable different in appearance.
Also the LN is dressier and imho the nicest steel Rolex ever made

EXP 2 42mm is indeed an excellent timepiece in its class and its the first Rolex I have my eye on, unfortunately I can't seem to pull off its size after trying it on my wrist. Kudos to those who can!

I do not think they complement each other. The GMT is great but the five digit Explorer just does not work for me.
