I've spent weeks and weeks trying to locate the perfect 16570 Explorer II. I've finally managed to find one and was hoping to purchase in the next couple of days.
Earlier today I noticed a screw slightly proud on the bracelet of my Explorer and as I was in the area I thought I would pop into my local AD to ask them to look at it.
BIG MISTAKE
Within 5 minutes my bracelet was sorted (thanks
)and I'm sat down trying on a 216570 Explorer II and a 116610LN Submariner.
Now I'm back to square one.
The 16570 is now on hold and have no idea if I should go for the 216570 or 116610LN. I did ask if they'd consider a buy one, get one free but no luck there.
It really shouldn't be this difficult
Anyway, I'm not sure what I what from this thread, just thought I'd vent my frustrations but if anyone can offer some pearls off wisdom it would be greatly received.
