Did 16570 Explorer 2 have solid center links oyster bracelet?
I have heard conflicting answers here. Does a 2010-2011 (last couple years of the 16570) have solid center links throughout bracelet? Not just solid end links? I know they have a thin dial, 3186 movement, rehaut and no holes but the ultimate answer I need clarified is bracelet. Thank you!

Yes
I have a 16570 from 2008. Solid links throughout the bracelet No holes case 3186 Engraved Rehaut One of the best Rolex watches ever made. Only thing it needed (or I wanted for it) is an upgraded clasp.

I was not aware that the 5 digit 16570 ever had "solid" centre links.

The answer is NO, the 16570 never came from the factory with a solid center link bracelet all througout.
During the later years of production (2000-2011) all Explorer II 16570 models came from the factory with the 78790A Oyster bracelet. This bracelet has ONLY a solid center endlink and an oysterlock clasp, all other center links are hollow. The solid center link bracelet eventually came on the next generation Explorer II, 216570. The bracelet number on that reference is 77210.

Thank you. Do you know what modern SS bracelet with solid center links and adjustable clasp (either Easylink or Glidelock) would fit on a G serial 16570?

But it has hollow CLs. I with it had solid CL's and a 6 digit clasp. Fortunately, I think the 116613 bracelet/clasp fit. |
