Hi all,

I have a spare Explorer II dial (black) and matching hand set as I switched it for a white dial and hand set. I was wondering if these would fit the new, and bigger, Explorer II model?

Thanks for your expert input.

No

different dial diameter.

Nope as Alpino says the dial on the 42mm version is larger as well as the case size so there is no way to get it to fit I'm afraid.

No

Nope not a chance.

Nope it's not the same size

Humm,....just a tad of research shows one is 40MM and one is 42MM.

You're referring to the case size, but we talk about the dial size (as an exemple all 36mm DJ/OP/DD use the same dial size as the 40mm Sub/Gmt/YM and even 44mm SDDS).

Yeah, I wasn't as clear as I could have been.

Cool. Was wondering as a friend has a new model and I thought he may like the option to swap out.

Thanks
