Some (slightly) better shots of my 216570 (Black Exp2-42)

Still crap but better than the BB ones I hope?!

But anyway I honestly think I've found "the one".....

Great wrist shots. Now I don't know if I like the White dial or Black dial more now.

Beautiful! It seems that the 216570 sits on your wrist, like the 16570 sits on my (skinnier) wrist. I tried on the new ones out the other day, and eventhough the white looks more attractive to my eye, the black sits better on the wrist for some reason...

Best,

A

Thanks guys!

I just didn't feel like I'd done the watch justice with the BB pic's & Eric mate you're (almost) right!.... I took those but Jack showed me how to re-size them & he's gonna take some more for me later on.


Man I this watch!!!

Thanks for the pics Dan, I hope you've really been enjoying it. Are the hour makers bigger than those on a GMTIIC or ceramic Sub? Is it possible for you to post some comparison pics of the Exp II against you other watches so we can get an idea of the size...

Cheers
Mike

Mike, they are about the same in real like. This pic gives an indication that the 42mm EXPII is bigger than the 116710LN...

I think the hour markers're actually the same size but I know what you're saying Mike....
They do look slightly bigger to me too sometimes but I think that's because of the fatter hands & the whole 'retro-70's-vibe-thing' (?) the 216570 has going on.


The boys're going to take some photo's for me in daylight after school tomorrow so hopefully I'll have half-decent comparison shots for you then.

Nice one Eric!

(Every time we try & take indoors watch-shots at my house we get 'flashback' that makes the photo's unuseable! )

Thanks Dan. The Exp II looks huge against the GMTIIC...

Congrats again mate...I bet you're chuffed to bits!

Just waiting for mine to arrive now... :(
