Incoming today!
Hi All
Just got this today from my local AD and I'm really pleased with it. They did have the latest Explorer 2 but I really liked the older version. Anyone got one of these? And what your expierences? I'm hoping its going to be a good daily beater! |

Wow! The white dial 16570 is certainly the way to go! ooks beautiful, I don't own one so can't comment on daily use, however, with the Tuna Clasp bracelet I am certain it's a winner in comfort! Wear it in good health!

The Explorer (in all its permutations) has stood the test of time. I'd say you're going to LOVE it!

Congrats! I had the black version, but sold out, and I've always regretted it. It's a great model, and is indeed more classic and comfortable than the new version, IMHO. I had the newer one and flipped it within two weeks. Enjoy!

Great choice & Great watch for a daily wearer! It was for me for 4 years until 2010 when I traded it for a 16610 Sub. As much as I loved my Exp. II
I always longed for the Sub. Wear it in good health! Best, Steve |
