Great watch.

Here is one of mine on leather.

Congrats, it looks great. Here's mine on a 2 piece nylon strap.

Nice straps, guys! Where did you get them? I ended up buying a bunch of different options from Barton and will return the ones I don't like. Their NATOs were a bit too bulky to smoothly feed through the spring bars, so those didn't work out, but I do really like their canvas ones. Here are some photos of the gray one, which I think looks the best. I'm also keeping a black one and a green one...

Thanks everyone!

these are really growning on me. I would love a white face II. Looks great on a strap

In for strap changing tips and tricks as well...

OP, great choice! I have the same era (Swiss made, holes, SEL) 16570, and couldn't be happier with it!

Enjoy!

I've owned both the non SEL and the SEL Explorer II, you definitely want the SEL. It feels like a completely different watch in terms of build quality and doesn't add any bulk. IMO it feels much better on the wrist.

Great choice! I love mine and once I got it my Aqua Terra "Skyfall" gets a lot less wrist time

Doesn't help with holes or no holes, but just so you know...

When you get your own 16570, and the sun hits it just right, you can make a perfect rainbow in the dial. No rain needed.

What end links are these? I wanted to get one of those for my 16030 and those look very nice.

After 5 months still getting most of the wrist time! Great watch.

I purchased a Y serial with a polar dial from the forums earlier this month and it’s completely taken over my wrist.
