Incoming 16570
After a recent transaction with Avery Wood here at TrF, I have my new 16570. A Serial, excellent condition. The deal was buttery smooth too. I had the watch in my hands in 48hrs. Gorgeous.

I have a 78360 and a 78790a bracelet here but I think I'm going to get a sub 93250 bracelet. I like the look, anyone else have this combo? If so, show me some motivational photos!

Great looking watch and one of my favorites.

Can't say that I've ever put a 93250 on mine as I prefer the slightly less bulky clasp of the 78790A.

Congrats. The 16570 black dial is my second favorite Rolex (I'm a Daytona lover). The Explorer II is my next Rolex, but it will be "a while."

+1 on the "nonbulkiness" :) of the 78790A clasp. I have it on mine and love it.
Btw, is the GMT hand red but the photo is black and white?

Very nice, I put mine on a zulu this summer for a change but I prefer the Oyster long term.

Excellent choice, the Explorer 2... 93250 will be a lot more obtrusive than your current NATO, which feels great with the low profile 16570 case.

I agree the 250 will be thicker at the clasp. I'll give it a go and see.
