Also look at the Explorer II closely, clearly it's a diff color than the text above. It's a 216570

You haven't been corrected. You're right, they're mistaken.
Clearly you have a different picture than we do. Blow it up, look closely. He has been known to wear a 216570 though.

Here's another picture of his 216570 taken about seven seconds later. Do you still think it's a 16570?

Tried blowing it up, just can't see enough due to the angle.

That's clearly the clasp of a 216570.

Good debate but I think this settles it.

Here's another way to illustrate the difference. Notice where the arrow begins on the 16570 vs the watch Jordan is wearing.

Jordan Spieth signs to represent Coca-Cola

Quote:
Jordan Spieth is it.

As if the sports marketing world needed another sign that the 22-year-old is "the real thing," the golfer has signed a deal with Coca-Cola. Neither the company nor his agent, Jay Danzi, would confirm the financials of the partnership other than to say it the multiyear deal will be one of the biggest the company has made with an athlete.

Spieth will appear on everything from television commercials to digital and social media as well as point-of-sale and on packaging for Coca-Cola products as well as its water brand Dasani.

"Coca-Cola has always been associated with iconic sporting events and some of the world's greatest athletes, so this is an incredibly cool opportunity for me," Spieth said in a statement. "As a brand ambassador, I look forward to growing awareness for the sport of golf globally and engaging with fans in exciting new ways."

With his performance over the last year, Spieth has vaulted himself into an exclusive category. One source familiar with the deal said that, internally, he's on the same level as LeBron James (who had his own Sprite flavor for the past two years), Jennifer Aniston (Smartwater) and Taylor Swift (Diet Coke)...

Wears too big. It's the newer model I'd say.

I admit the second photo seems to lend credience to that. Jordan has been known to wear a DSSD quite nicely though. I would assume his wrists are strong.

Guys, it isn't even close.

Look at where the 24-hour hand comes to a point relative to the hour markers. Look at the fat minute hand. Look at the machined clasp. Not to mention the overall proportions of the watch. It's a 216570.

Based on the maxi hands you can tell right away that it's a 216570. I'm wearing my 16570 polar and my hands are way thinner. Just love this kid.
