Love it. It will likely be my next, but I already have the GMT, which I love even more.

Another vote for love it!

After wearing 44-47mm watches from Panerai, my DeepSea and the Omega Proplof etc I find that 42mm is a great size. I still enjoy the 40mm Rolex and wear them all the time.

I think its crazy that anything above 40mm is too big for many folks. But that is why we have all these models. I see on other forums where guys won't buy Rolex because 40mm is way too small.

I wouldn't, I'm really excited about the EXPII because it is NOT the Sub-C or GMT2 with the pregnant lugs and box-like super-case. I'm excited to see what else comes out with the proportional 42mm case!!!

Finally saw it in person today.... Don't like it. Call me old fashion, but I just don't like the direction Rolex is going.

SkyKing31 · 5 October 2011, 04:57 AM

I like the previous explorer better .. but that is just my simple opinion

JTT · 5 October 2011, 05:36 AM

Shopping for a new rolex.. I like the uniqueness of the face and hands. But, it's a little bigger than what I want.

gwalker · 5 October 2011, 05:38 AM

Sub or GMT for me. Don't like it at all

Dr. Robert · 5 October 2011, 05:40 AM

I'm looking forward to seeing it in person, but for now I'm definitely not tempted to "trade up" my old ExpII.

x2 ,wouldn't trade my 'old' polar for the new one. Never. The black one looks better, but that's based only on pictures....

exp ii Iooks better than sub c and gmt c

mrbill2mrbill2 · 5 October 2011, 08:45 AM

I like the 42 mm case over the SubC GMT C case. I may be able to get used to the too fat hour and minute hands. But, the huge GMT hand - it's all you can see - way too much for me. As stated previously cartoonish - Looney Tunes.
