Question re the new Explorer II...

[JP(Canada)]

Hi all,

Was wondering if anyone could tell me whether the markers on the new Explorer II are larger than the markers on the maxi dial ceramic Sub? The hands definitely appear wider.

Also, does anyone know the thickness of the new Explorer II?

Thanks for your help,

Thankfully, I don't have a SubC with which to compare.

But 12.4mm is the thickness.

Thanks John. I have the Sub C, but I guess I may have to head to a dealer to compare. The Explorer dial does seem to have more pronounced markers in pics I've seen (which is good).

Fr. John - that has a meaning behind it, isnt?!?




(how often have we heard of issues caused by having recessed numbers on the ceramic bezel insert?)

i dont have a pic of 116610LN and 216570 side by side handy.... but i do have a pic of 116710LN and 216570 side by side....
my understanding is that the maxi dial and markers is "about the same size"

IMO - the 216570 hour markers will look bigger, because of the black edging...




oops, excuse the camera angle...
