New Arrival=Explorer II 16570
Well I sold some pieces I dont wear & a little coin outa my pocket & viola.
 Rolex ExplorerII (random serial#)It's got the new completely in house 3186 movement incorporating the Parachrome Blue hairspring. As a minor modification to the tried and tested 3185, Also the rehaut is engraved, the bracelet is luxury @ it's finest, those of you that own an Omega can appreiciate what I'm saying. The slightly raised, flat sapphire crystal is perfect for this watch. I am generally not a fan of Cyclops magnifiers on a crystal but this just flows w/ the piece. It's a little small @ 39mm but it wears bigger IMO, It's got a stealthy low profile. Bezel is fixed which I generally dont like, but again it flows w/ the style of ths timepiece. I did my research b4 purchasing this 1-To say I'm extremely happy is an understatement- I'm exctatic        Wanted to thank you guys since I've joined this forum, you have opened my eyes to what a TIMEPIECE is, w/ all the different LWIG & The DAILY wrist shows.THANKS DUDES |

I love mine as well. The black goes well with your tatts.
I agree with you on the simple perfection of the bracelet whencompared with that of my seamaster. It took me six months to get the right fit on that one.
