Exp-II hidden flaw

Rolex does'nt want you to know this... but the slightest bit of dust and the dial becomes practically unreadable!

Well guys, after a day upgrading my underground irrigation system, a quick rinse with well water and a quick wipe with a T-shirt and we are good to go. And with PCLs no less!

That's not unreadable. 11:01:55

They are not toys. I am happy to see one get dirty now and then. Thanks for the pics Mikey.

Now that's one outrageous flaw Mikey.....

Good for you....A Rolex is meant for the hard yards and it'll keep up to the task and then some!!!! A quick wash,touchup if needed and all is good...
