Next EXPLORER III
 My late night rendering.....EXP II versus EXP III. New movement. EXPLORER III moniker moved down. Wider bracelet at case & tapered at clasp (similar to 126600 proportions). Slightly longer minute hand. Now, my specs - Wishlist of course unlikely): Brushed bezel - different odd-hour markings (like 1655). Maxi rectangular hour markers similar to 1655 & current EXPLORER. TRIPLOCK crown - thicker & chunkier look. Thicker & longer crown guards of course. Bracelet as above. Bigger case (gasp, shock horror) 44mm. Slight domed sapphire crystal.

Nice effort, thanks.
Has a bit of a DJII vibe to it with the markers and size. |

first change I'd make on an exp II would be a triplock crown with associated guards. The crown always looked small on that watch to me.

Big and bold lumed rectangles vs mostly non-lumed highly finished thin batons? I really don’t see any similarity, sorry.

This is the best Exp III rendering I've seen. Trying to figure out where, if any place, a splash of green would go.

Very nice editing work, but it’s a pass from me.
Can’t get on board with the batons or 44mm. Like the bezel and crown though! |

Nice effort but I’ll stick with my 16570. I do like the bezel tho.

Improvements and subtle changes are good, but the size increases need to stop before every watch model starts approaching Deep Sea territory. Lol.

The new Explorer IiI looks awesome! Maybe keep it at 42mm.
I vote the OP, BigPockets, to become a Rolex designer. |

Bezel looks nice, but a pass on the batons.
Reminds me of the Breitling GMT I had 7 years ago but didn't get on with.

I'm assuming a new reference would have an updated 32xx movement, so missing crown at 6 between SWISS MADE.
Also, I'd prefer McQueen style hour markers instead of batons. |
