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!

I'm jealous! I've had my eye on one forever but something else always comes up.

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 |
