Which one do you really want to keep as daily wearer?

1) Explorer II 16570 with SEL & no lug holes
2) Sub 16610 from early 90s with tritium with white gold around dial.

They have similar pricing although they are more than 10 years in difference.

Thanks for advice.

own both, enjoy both. really love the crisp white dial of the exp2 but gotta go with the sub as a daily watch. just goes with everything

hdrazor251 · 24 February 2015, 12:47 PM

I'll probably be in the minority on this but IMHO you can't beat the white dial of the Exp II.

I used to have 16610 tritium dial with lug holes, but sold it..
I have 16570 no lug holes now and can't sell it. I really love it :D

Love them both-white dial ExpII and Sub date. I've owned a 16610 in the past, have not yet bought the Exp. The Sub is to me the perfect daily wearer of the two without question.

TS didn't say "polar" or "white")

Explo.

Hard to beat a sub.

Explorer II for me. Not a fan of non-SEL's.

16570

alexkarbo · 25 February 2015, 01:38 PM

I have a K series 16570 which is even better because it has both SEL and lug holes :)

yahoo_mks · 25 February 2015, 03:41 PM

Voted for this one:

Good luck

Presa canary · 25 February 2015, 04:01 PM

16570. But both are great

Explorertwo · 25 February 2015, 04:28 PM

Voted Ex 2 as a daily beater, because it is sooo comfortable on the wrist. And low rader. But i love my sub, so start with either one and start saving for the other :)

Rogdogg · 25 February 2015, 04:41 PM

ExpII for me with the black dial though

Changmaisausage · 25 February 2015, 06:13 PM

My Exp only receives wrist time when I go on holiday.

I think it looks great but doe snot attract attention most people don't give it a second glance.
