Wait ?!?!

That watch is not popular? I feel like it's super popular.

And personally one of my favorites.

Great pics. Amazing watch. Perfect day.

Am thinking about one myself, love the clarity of the hands, face and lume of the polar face Exp II, especially as my ageing eyes are now struggling sometimes to see my Sub as clearly as when I bought it



And as for popularity, it also happens to be the watch of choice of a rather well known member of the British Royal Family......

The new 216570 is probably the most well received watch Rolex has released in a long time, certainly in the time between my coming aboard in '08 and the introduction of the 114060.

Yeah. This watch is not lacking popularity. IMHO.

If I could pull off the size, I'd have one in the collection. I think it is simply stunning. Possibly the best looking watch out there.

As I said once... Be popular isn't always a good thing. Be different!
