I love my 16570! We’re reunited after a month at RSC and full service, new crystal. The 42mm model is a tad too large to suit my taste, unfortunately.

At some point I may to pick up a 16570 black dial (again).

Love the orange GMT hand on the black dial. It's contrasted so perfectly

My all-time favorite watch. I’ve had pretty much every sports model and they all languish in my watch box because the Explorer II is always my first choice.

I think I’d save my self a lot of money if I were the one watch guy I apparently am.

Haha, I think its personal taste at the end of the day... But I also think they're ugly watches... but beautiful for their owner...

My dog for example is ugly, but to me she is beautiful!

My suggestion is you start an "Exp II Hate" thread.

That's exactly what I mean though!

She's beautiful to me, as are the watches to you guys and if I owned one I think I'd think the same.

The pictures don't do them justice is what I'm saying.

I probably didn't make that clear :p

Exp II Love

I almost sold mine earlier this year. Glad I didn't!
Put it on a white Rubber B and my wife wears it now.
I'll probably get it back when she gets her Grand Seiko later this year.

Explorer II is a great watch. I love mine. It has great versatility and I like the all brushes Oyster bracelet.

Beautiful explorer with the big orange hand.

I love the design of the explorer II too very much. One of the favorite watch at all time.
