Just looked at my 1655 and 216570... Not sure why Rolex changed the layering of the hands, quite frankly I did not even notice it until reading your question on another members post, however, it does not detract from the beauty of the watch... Will post a pic soon (on my iPad)...

I assume the handstack was changed due to some technical necessity/convenience related to the independent hour hand function the 42mm Explorer has....remember, the 1655 only shows one time zone and the 12 & 24 hour hands cannot set independently as later Exp IIs allow. The handstack of the 42mm Explorer is just like that of the 16710 GMT-II, the 116710 GMT-II, (and the 16550 and 16570 Explorer IIs), all of which also have the independently adjustable 12-hour hand capability. Do agree the original looks slightly better, but its not a major issue to me. ![]() |

Almost flipped this for the 16750. Literally brought it to work to ship out. Put it on just to check, and realized I could not part with it. And im a true blue flipper. This is an amazing watch. So now i have both. Lol.
Now I'm thinking black.

Going through the 12 pages on my thread, I've made up my mind on my next watch. I have time to think of which color to choose but it's getting harder and harder to decide! I already have a black sub and a white daytona. ![]()
