I read inside only, but just saw a video that said none whatsoever. Rolex advertised it on the sub as inside, but nothing advertised on the Explorer's.

Thanks man, I will never sell these watches but just for fun I have tried to think of other watches to move on to but can't think of anything better to wear and enjoy daily.

It says a lot about how 'special' this anniversary watch is when we need (so far) 3 pages to try to discern exactly what's changed!
It's like "Spot the Difference", level 10,000! ![]() I think we should just agree that it's a great looking watch... in the same way it was a great looking watch when it came out 10 years ago. |

I don't see the little changes Rolex made. It was a great piece last year and is a great piece this year.

The Explore II is a beauty to behold. Not surprising that Rolex found it hard to change the esthetics...
But for the 50th Anniversary, it was a disappointment that not a single variable could not be improved upon or even altered. |

I don't think it's disappointing to have got something so right in the first place.
As someone posted in another thread. The 50th anniversary hype was internet generated, not Rolex generated. We set ourselves up to be knocked down. |

Whether it's ever so slightly different or not is irrelevant. The fact remains that after the teaser video leading up to the announcement, I'm very underwhelmed and as far as I'm concerned Rolex has yet again proved they don't deserve their place at the top table.
If you want to see innovation take a peep at JLC, VC, Omega or even Oris for god's sake. |

Rolex also increased bracelet width and movement upgrade on its Deepsea but it was done without any fanfare... there were no teasers to do such minor update. |

Well, I'm not going to rush out to replace my 216570 anytime soon. Differences are really, really subtle.

The tiny crown at 6 just makes this new watch for me.
