What would you choose between these two options for 16570

[mitadoc]

If the budget is set and you have options for a black 16570 with a superluminova dial, solid end links and the better clasp and a Polar with a tritium dial ,hollow end links and the old clasp, but they are the same/similar condition and as a set, what would you choose and why? Thanks in advance and have a good weekend.

I would choose dial color first then find one in the best condition for my budget. I wouldn't limit myself to these two options because there are a many, many 16570's currently available.

The one in best condition especially if any Rolex service history and what you are comfortable in paying.

I’d go with the white dial myself. Which clasps are you referring to? You could always swap it out.

If you’re comfortable with hollow end links I’d go Polar

old clasp/new clasp ???

As to the 16570, I like the look of a through holes case with SEL bracelet, but it's a personal aesthetics thing, one isn't better than the other.

The Forum has gone through the trends... A few years ago the Polar was all the rage, then suddenly everyone had to have a black dial.

Condition is paramount with any used watch, although you should look for the features you want in the best condition you can find.

I've been wearing this one for the past few days.

Great pic and a lovely Explorer ll! I would also prefer solid end links, but the overall condition of the watch is the most important consideration. The bracelet and/or clasp can always be switched out.

Thank you for the input. By "old claps" I meant this one:



And the "new one" :

Gotcha. Different bracelets, not just clasps.

As mentioned, the bracelets or clasps used on this model are completely interchangeable. What is not interchangeable are the endlinks used exclusively on early through-holes cases withough slots to remove them from the later non-through hole lugs.
