I was lusting to try one on and when I did I was slightly dissapointed.The markers seem to be to small and the watch just didn't speak to me.Its just not for me,oh well!! my next look will be at the 41mm Datejust either a white dial with stick markers or the TT with Ivory dial and stick markers.

Too bad.....
Im off to the ad tomorrow to see for myself...not planning on buying though...

esm · 25 November 2011, 08:08 AM

Yeah, those 216570 are abit too over rated....

(okay, I kid

)

As you please, I personally really like the dial/hands proportionality on the EXII42.

For me the dial is crystal clear and I can discern the time in a millisecond.

dotcomakazee · 25 November 2011, 08:48 AM

It's the cleanest/sharpest watch in the Rolex line, IMO.

Art 1 · 25 November 2011, 08:57 AM

I like them.

azguy · 25 November 2011, 09:01 AM

I'm new to all this but it's amazing that any watch can get such an equal amount of yeah

and nay's

.

After seeing it in person I would never own one-

HL65 · 25 November 2011, 10:26 AM

Like them as well...One of Rolex coolest releases in a while IMHO.

kyrolexfan · 25 November 2011, 01:10 PM

i like it! it's going over big at AD's

Wehtiko · 26 November 2011, 12:10 AM

I'm really looking forward to seeing the white one as soon as the AD gets them in.

I agree, it's quite surprising the strong feelings this watch elicits. I liked it quite a bit but I'm still happy with my Exp II white dial and there just wasn't enough difference to motivate me to cough up the $'s.

Your polar is much better in my opinion, keep it, as I know you will

Well, that's the benefit of trying 'em on....I think, though, that that's the first time I've heard someone say the markers are too small.....

davidf · 28 November 2011, 01:25 AM

I tried one on yesterday and while the size is smaller than my Panerai 111, it fits weird on my wrist. I think it's because the bracelet is SS vs. the Panerai's croc strap. The Explorer's bracelet comes over the side of my wrist so it looks like it's sticking up oddly. Hard to explain, just didn't work right for me.

jcourant · 28 November 2011, 01:52 AM

Being used to my PAM 250, I was hesitant about the size (why I've never gotten a Rolex earlier), but the size is great. It feels appropriate for my 7.5" wrist and the proportionality works for me.
