My new EXPII 216750!!!!

First off, a big thank you to my friend DavidSW! You're the best!
I've had my eye on the new ExpII since it's release and I was just waiting for the right time to jump on it. I always knew that the white was the one for me. Very bright and crisp and the bold new markers and hands balance out perfectly. The 42mm case wears just right. I won't ramble on too much but here is my new one and I LOVE it!!
Just have to take the time to get all the stickers off now...

Nice watch & congrats. I tried one on yesterday at my AD and must say the watch is much nicer in person than any pics I've seen. I'm tempted to join you...

Enjoy!

Leaving aside the the Parachrome and Paraflex which combined far exceed the qualities of any other watch in the Rolex range or for that matter the world.......this new EXII42 is a pleasure to wear, it not too heavy or too bulky on ones wrist.
The dial is crystal clear, even for those optically challenged.

Bottom line: those that have it worship it, those that don't pretend to themselves and others they don't need it.

Best statement I have read thus far regarding the 216570. I appreciate the fact that you did not single out the dial choices as both are excellent!
