Not my choice ... but an Explorer nevertheless... and it seems to be a fairly recent 16570 with no lug holes. Put the orginal bezel on, and make sure to have the case and bracelet brushed to original standard, and make the dial matte black instead of blue... and it would be an interesting alternative to the all original black dialled 16570.

Each to their own, of course.

IMO the 2 row 4 prong setting just makes the bezel look weird. im sure at a certain angle it might just look like cross cut SS similar to what a breitling motors might look like.

it definitely takes some skill to set all those diamonds in SS. but i think that it would have looked better if it was just one row of diamonds.

Wow!! so not many like on this watch which is a surprise as everyone that has seen it on my wrist so far in the uk love it.
The watch is real and is customised by a authorised company in America, To me this is much nicer than my Bamford Rolex, but like we all say it's personal taste.

Glad you still like it.

If I are anyone wearing that knowing he/she has spent the time and money on it, I don't think I have the heart to say anything other than - "looks good, glad you liked it".

Each to his own, it is

Looking for positives here: I imagine it is more theft-proof than the original. Anyone who saw it being worn on the tube/underground would assume it was fake.

Ultimately, if you like it that's all that matters.

I am glad you like it and are not overly offended by the comments
