Incoming - Arrived - Explorer-II-#216570 - Black & White

[m1911a1]

The back story is that 33 years ago I bought a Stainless-Black-Submariner-Date.
Then about 20 years ago, bought a 40mm Stainless-White-Explorer-II; and the Sub saw very little wrist time since.
I kept one on the winding-box and switched between them occasionally; and always had one ready-to-go should the other one need servicing.

This past fall my AD sent them both to Rolex for full-service; then I gave them to my twin daughters, who are in their early 30's.

In the meantime, I bought a 42mm Explorer-II in White-Dial from same AD.....

Shortly afterwards, my OCD was really ticking, so I ordered a second identical WHITE Ex-2....(always needing back-ups for my back-ups)
However, I also asked my AD to let me know if/when they receive a NEW Ex-2 in BLACK.....simply to inspect.

I got the call a couple of days ago and stopped in today.
I walked out with the new BLACK Ex-2....

I'll write an entire review on both in the near future, but (for me) these are the PERFECT Watches....

I have an 8-inch+ wrist and always use TWO additional full-size links in all of my Watches....these also.
I'll never wear another 40mm watch again....

They installed the links, ripped the tape off, and I walked out....
I LOVE THESE WATCHES!
