I am wondering, last couple of months the EX2 is winning territory.
If you have to choose between the last series EX2 (black or white) and the last series old SubDate (16610) what will it be?

Gerardus · 18 September 2010, 01:12 AM

No comments from anyone?

sakuraba · 18 September 2010, 01:14 AM

I love my Explorer II (white), but against the Sub, its powers are not as strong.

dalip · 18 September 2010, 01:18 AM

Sub 1st for me....

TRW · 18 September 2010, 01:18 AM

No Question about it.Sub Date

Chipmunk · 18 September 2010, 01:33 AM

SS Sub.......but I also like to have a white Polar.

gold canyon · 18 September 2010, 01:35 AM

Between the two, I would opt for the submariner. Although I am fond of the polar exp 2.

acce1999 · 18 September 2010, 01:42 AM

Although I am wearing a Submariner as I write this, my reply was Explorer II without a doubt!

Best,

A

DSJ · 18 September 2010, 02:01 AM

My money went to the black 16570.

DRAWTOOL · 18 September 2010, 02:05 AM

Exp-II

CWL · 18 September 2010, 02:16 AM

Both Explorer I and Explorer II!!

Dylan Wade · 18 September 2010, 02:30 AM

Chalk up another for the EXP II.....all time classic White

Aspirin · 18 September 2010, 02:34 AM

Fixed bezel I vote for Exp II, rotatable bezel I vote for GMTIIc.

Gerardus · 18 September 2010, 03:01 AM

Yesss almost 50/50 just what i thought!

mike · 18 September 2010, 03:17 AM

I love the Sub., but if I had to choose for my purposes the EXP II would be the better watch. I'd go with the black dial.

al_bongo · 18 September 2010, 03:53 AM

I wouldn't think the Exp II is winning any territory though you might find differently since there is no indication in the title of your post that this is a poll of Exp II v 16610.

Exp II looks to be great value, but still has to be the 16610 for me.

L-16610 · 18 September 2010, 03:58 AM

I don't like the explorer

AWS · 18 September 2010, 04:01 AM

Have both but if I were picking which one to buy first I would say the Sub 16610.

jrpb · 18 September 2010, 05:02 AM

Exp II, each to his own though as they are both very nice bits of kit

GradyPhilpott · 18 September 2010, 06:03 AM

They're both great watches.

I'm just curious. How do you know that the Exp II is gaining in popularity?

It is given by my feeling due to the fact there are on several forums lots of "new arrivals EX2" threads .
That is why this poll could be useful because i think the EX2 was more understated in the past.

I hope this gives you a correct and satisfied answer

JJ Irani · 18 September 2010, 06:25 AM

Hi Gerardus,

If it was a real choice between one or the other, then the Sub 16610 for sure would be my first choice.

However, if you did want to go for the Exp-II, the white dial would be my choice of approval.

Good luck - JJ

Hi JJ,
That is why i think this poll is so interesting, it is a close call.
I am (except the big clasp) enormous enchanted of the SUB.
Have a nice weekend

Brich436 · 18 September 2010, 06:42 AM

I just recently had to make this decision. The easy answer is 16570 in white and the 16610. Both!

I could only have one so I picked the 16570 because it just felt nicer on my wrist and I love the Explorer History and the clean white dial. With that being said I definately plan on adding a Sub to the collection.

The Exp II is certainly a sleeper. It certainly deserves a larger audience, but I'm sure that many owners are glad it doesn't scream Rolex.

I feel that way about my Explorer.

DOUBLE 0 SE7EN · 18 September 2010, 06:57 AM

Between two Sub takes it all...but EXPII is a great and comfortable watch..

rfknauss · 18 September 2010, 07:05 AM

Gerardus, I voted for the Sub ....... but the Explorer II is a great watch!

Art 1 · 18 September 2010, 07:06 AM

The ex2 for me.

sakuraba · 18 September 2010, 07:14 AM

Very interesting how close the voting has become between an acknowledged icon, and a reference that I previously thought to be a sleeper.

HKtoter · 18 September 2010, 07:19 AM

If the Explorer II had a triplock crown, I would prefer it.
