The short hands haven't bothered me in the slightest and I love the WG numerals. Nothing wrong with the Mk1 if you can get a good deal.

Wcdhtwn · 12 April 2018, 04:43 AM

I prefer the 2016 model.

Pavlos · 12 April 2018, 09:43 AM

Looks like it will be 2016 when I have the funds

[QUOTE=JacksonStone;8474008]I think you should go for the watch you want. If you really want the 2016, then the 2010 is no deal, regardless of price. (edited)

Never has it been said so succinctly. I'll repeat it:

"Buy the watch you *want*.

Should be every WIS's credo.

MK2 no question

thedips · 12 April 2018, 03:40 PM

Lumed 369 all day every day and twice on Sunday. Long hands too? Not even a fair contest

xIZeitgeistIx · 12 April 2018, 05:34 PM

I also prefer the 2016 model.

TacticaLCawacoL · 12 April 2018, 06:16 PM

I would go for the most recent version.

Seems like you are already set on MK2. Beautiful watch, go for it.

I own the MK1 and did buy it because of the WG 3/6/9, adds elegance and makes it dressier in my opinion. The MK2 lume makes it sportier and more modern. Both beautiful, pick the one you like the best.

Funny how people on forums have this idea that they know a ‘mistake’ and the ‘fix’ for it. (Same thing happens on motorcycle forums). Majority of those who insist on calling it a mistake would not spend their own money on either the mistake or the fixed version anyway, and are just sharing their critical opinion on the subject. Those who put their money towards buying one are usually purchasing it based on their personal likes and whether a model speaks to them or not.

Never a bad moment to tell the truth!

Go for the full line version if you can.

I own the first version and while it looks great, the newer version is just perfect.

On the other hand, aren’t the Explorer and the OP39 too similar? Practically the same watch with a different dial and clasp.

Perhaps look elsewhere in the lineup?

Agree!!

2016 version for me

Boothroyd · 12 April 2018, 11:41 PM

Your decision is made. I have the Mk1 and prefer it to the Mk2 for reasons stated in the thread. One thing though...I love the proportions of the 39mm Explorer and OP models. I look forward to seeing the new white dial 39mm OP to complement my Explorer.

torrente · 12 April 2018, 11:42 PM

It would be great if Rolex offered 2016 Exp both in 36 and 39. I would buy 36 if that would be my only Rolex, that would open the Exp to ladies that want somewhat big watches too, while I consider Exp design quite masculine.
