My first post on TRF! Hello guys!

Finally had time to take out my 105mm VR lens and took a few snapshots of my Exp II's.

I just need to find a 1655 from the year 1975 (my birth year) to finish the collection :)

I know folks on TRF like white dial over black dial but I just like the contrast on the orange hand on black dial more.

Taking a macro shot on the laser etched crown on my 16570:

A 4-seconds exposure:

Hope you guys liked it!

p.s. edit to change photo size to 800 to comply with the rules here :)

incredible pix!! welcome!

and, at least with respect to the 216570, i much prefer the black.

PatekCollector · 27 July 2012, 07:32 PM

Nice pics.

For me, I like the new Exp in size only but prefer the old version in all other details.

Thnx for sharing.

Hi Folks

A newbie here. Looking around for my first Rolex and need some advice. I currently own a PAM111 which I wear with casual clothes and a JLC Reverso Grande Date for more formal occasions. I am missing a true sport watch here that I can wear at the beach or doing sports (I love my Panerai but cannot stand it with the rubber strap). I also do winter sports and hate to to go out to the slopes without a proper watch. Given that I also travel quite a bit for work I thought that the Explorer II is a good fit (sports, GMT function). I am currently having my sights on the 16570 black dial. I tried the new 42mm but it looks big in my wrist (dont ask me why my 44mm Panerai feels ok :-) ).
Any thoughts from the experts?

Thanks a lot!

PS: heres a pic of my current collection in need of Rolex brother
