$1,000 per mm?
Yep, I'm Explorer shopping.
I'm coming from the oversized Panerai world, so on paper, a 40mm 16570 seems too small. Tried on a 216570 And a Milgauss That being said, it seems that pre-loved 16570's are about 2k less expensive. I have a 7.25" wrist and I'm a big guy so I carry large watches well. I just can't find a 16570 to try on. Any one own both? |

How did you feel about the Milgauss? The old ExplorerII wears very similarly.

Big fan of the White Milgauss. Elegant and fun at the same time.

The older model at 40mm is the one I'd pick. I'm not really a fan of the fat hands.
