No wonder I missed it - 16570

I posted a few weeks ago that I was missing my 16570 and bought this one. It is the most balanced watch on my wrist. It probably is because it is 5 digit and just the right weight, size and purpose - just perfect. I think it is time for me to start adding more 5 digit references to my collection.

No doubt 5 digit is the way to go, until they get rid of the giant lugs.

Don’t know why Rolex replaced the 40mm Explorer II with a 42mm case. A move in the wrong direction in my opinion.

Totally agree. The new E2 is like a manacle - like most 42 mm watches. Rolex succumbed to a design fad.

Now I am thinking of getting a black dial one also. It will be a great combo to have. Prices on these are getting ridiculously expensive.

Yeah absolutely love mine! The only thing I had to change about it was putting a 214270 bracelet on. I love the feel and clasp of the modern bracelets and it takes it to a whole other level (for me).

Since then I also removed the cyclops and now wear it on a Super Jubilee lol

I didn't know you could put a modern bracelet on a 16570. So the 214270 bracelet fits?

I have mine on the SubC glidelock bracelet. However, it is not a perfect fit as seen in the picture below. I don’t think it will scratch the case or anything, but not a perfect fit. It could also be due to the holes case.

How is the 214270 bracelet fit on the 16570?

Just got a polar 16570 with 3186 movement from Japan, one of my favorite Rolex and the size is perfect. It's also one of the few rolex that I consider switching strap
