I flipped my first watch I ever purchased but the more I saw the GMT II the more I fell in love.

For starters I definitely have to get used to the size and weight difference. Even the bracelet seems way lighter. I find this strange, do they not have the same bracelet?

Nice decision. I would've done the same. Congrats on that beautiful BLNR.

Congrats! The Texans played a great MNF game tonight!

silverbullet818 · 17 November 2015, 03:43 PM

Congrats. Are you saying the Explorer had a heavier bracelet than the GMT ii?

rollee1 · 17 November 2015, 03:55 PM

Congrats on your new toy.

216570 is 42mm with 21mm lugs

I think the subc and gmt oyster tapers down fully whereas the explorer only tapers on 3/4 links

I might be wrong not 100% sure tbh

Congrats tho, i saw a BLNR on the weekend and i understand the appeal

What he said; the Exp II uses a wider bracelet.

travisb · 17 November 2015, 08:33 PM

You might want that Explorer II back some day! I love both of mine but definitely feel the BLNR is more versatile so I definitely understand.
