A new Explorer II in 40mm - will I be waiting forever?

[Njkdog]

I highly doubt it. The would be removing one of the few bigger watches they have. It would be a big change. Id think they have more pressing things to work on

16570 option. But 42 is so sick. Orange is so cool. But so is red.

One thing to consider: the lume and visibility
Of the 42. Is. Off. The. Hook. Which means amazing.

I own the 16570 and LOVE the way the case wears (I have small wrists) BUT prefer the BOLD THICK markers and hands and that orange GMT of the new one!!

A hybrid of ones dial and hands style with the others case size and shape would make my perfect Explorer II.

Until that happens, if ever, my only other option is to gain about 60 lbs to be able to wear the new one

Lots of truth here. On balance I go 42mm which is just insanely legible night and day

If they did a BB Pro in white as well, I’d add one to my black one In a heartbeat!

Anything can happen.

Highly unlikely. No particular reason to reduce size.

-made a watch in titanium
-put emojis on a Day-Date
-released a Daytona with an exhibition caseback


-It also started a certified pre-owned program and bought the largest Rolex retailer in the world.

At this point, anybody still think we should rely on predictions based on the brand's historical trends?

You have a good point Danny.Never is a long time.

love the size and weight of my 16570 but as somebody has suggested ,improved legibilty would be a plus.

A fatter minute hand with the improved lume that would come with it would be nice

they have left themselves outs with case designs, so I wouldnt be surprised. But i doubt itll happen any time soon
