first time rolex buyer
I'm looking for my first Rolex and is considering the Explore II 16750 pre owned. I'm 32 yr old professional just looking for some insight on the explore ii.

It's one of my favorite rolex references. Way less common than the sub or gmt. And it's a rolex sport model that comes with a white dial. What's not to love. Good luck!

The Explorer II is in my opinion the most comfortable Rolex that I own. You will love it. I prefer the black dial.

It's a very comfortable, versatile watch and very unappreciated, in my opinion.

Welcome to the site! Lots of first Rolex watches to own. Good luck on your first watch. Make sure you post a wrist shot on what ever watch you do decide to purchase. Assuming it is a Rolex!

Explorer II's are a cracking and versatile watch and a great first choice.

The most important is that you like it! |

Explorer II is a great choice for a young professional living in SoCal! Might I suggest the Polar/white version...Good luck.

 I fell in love with the 42mm polar. I have not worn anything else in 6 months. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk |

I have a polar expII and love it. It seemed to me easier to find a good deal on one preowned also. You won't be disappointed.
