I went with 216570..........

After starting too many threads between 16570 vs 216570 and discussing it over many times, I was very close to getting the 16570 but eventually ended up getting the newer version. Someone pointed out earlier, once the bracelet is sized to your wrist, it isn't really big to the wrist. Overall loving the Explorer II.

Many people suggested me to pick a Polar after my Submariner last year.. and this makes a great trio for now.

Awesome trio!!!

Nice to see the cyclops working well there also!!! ;)

Both the Explorer's case's look so much better proportioned than the Subs never bought into the stubby lugs on the Sub C myself!

Beautiful collection :)

I think you made the right choice. I much prefer the Orange hand and newer style bracelet of the 216570. Great trio!

Awesome choice, the polar was definitely the way to go. Kind of wish I had a white dial 16550 instead of black because I really want to pick up an Explorer I next.
