Show Your Explorer 16570
I'd like to see how popular and what it looks like on a wrist....
Whats your opinion about it?

Here are a couple of wrist shots of the one I had:





You may note that I removed the Cyclops. I thought the Cyclops obscured the beauty of gloss black dial/white markers. Removal also made the dial more symmetrical.

I loved the watch but felt it wore too small compared to my other sport watches; i.e., 42mm Omega Planet Ocean Liquidmetal LE and Speedmaster Professional. That is no longer an issue now that I have replaced the 16570 with my polar 216570.

One I had...
I sold it and got a 14060M. But then I bought another a couple weeks ago and traded it for a Sub Date. Great watch. Stealth, sits low. No one ever knew it was a Rolex!

I love the EXP II.
I have to admit to loving the 216570 a little more. If i can't pick up a 14060m soon I may have to buy one.

This is my Polar Ex2. I can't be any happier with this watch. One of the best watch purchases I've made in a long time.

Polished bezel polished lugs. My first Rolex never took so much pride in it till I found this site. I was 19 when I first picked this up.

Just bought this last week. First, but probably not my last Rolex.
