Hello friends of the Forum,

in these cold days my neurons are partly dedicated to fantasize about my choice ... so I ask you to pass an opinion.

In October I was in front of a doubt, buy a 116710LN or 216,570? I always wanted the GMT ceramic, since its presentation, both for the added value of Cerachrome bezel, is the desire to aid my 116610LN and form the "perfect couple" of new course (waiting to be matched by my pepsi 16610 and form the pair with ref to 5 digits) ...
When I went to pick it up, though, I had the opportunity to take in its place a new Explorer II black dial. Then the size (I have a huge wrist), the price (a little 'too much for the model in question) and a set of circumstances "of the moment" I have to stay on the first choice.
Now a little regret 'not having dared to ... What do you think? What would you have done for me?

EX2, since you already own 116610LN. 116710LN looks too simular to ceramic Sub.

add the 216570 to your existing collection - best of both worlds

Personally, I'd go for a white 216570 for variety. The GMT is too similar to the Sub.

Maybe sell your 16610 and get the Exp. you can always pick one up again if you hangs your mind.

GEO_79 · 19 January 2012, 01:31 AM

216570 is the one for you collection

Both are great watches but I would get the GMT IIC.....

I've had the GMTIIc and the 16710 but both have been replaced by the polar 216570.

I'll take the SS bezel over the ceramic and the aluminum.

Ciao Marco,
I would stay with the GMTIIC, it represent IMHO the perfect balance in terms of wrist presence and functionality.

The new EXPII is too large for me and the dial seems to be too empty.
