Rolex Explorer II

Just that pop of orange, just gorgeous and Explorer 2 written in orange Everything's so clean. The Cyclops I think this is the only Rolex watch where ...

What's NOT important is watches, in the grand scheme of things. The other main reason to sell is that I have a director's loan with my (self-owned) company that needs to be paid off before retirement and the money from these two watches pays off a large chunk of that. I managed to sell the Explorer II for £6,250 which is the UK retail price, so was happy with that.

Rolex Explorer II ref. 216570. I've had this watch for about two weeks now and it hasn't left my wrist since. The thing that impressed me the most is the accuracy, -1 second in 10 days.

**Rolex Explorer II**: My favourite watch, I wear this more than the rest. I bought it when I turned 40, and it is so much better than all the rest. The bracelet is incredible, it keeps +0 secs per day 90% of the time as far as I can tell. Very special watch.

He proceeds to tell me that a customer called 15 minutes ago to say they weren’t going to pick it up anymore - they had decided to go for an Explorer II instead. Fine by me!. Without a 15 minute delay and detour through the wind and rain this beauty likely wouldn’t be on my wrist right now.

Side by side, the Explorer II’s orange Freccione makes reading the GMT hour easier for me, and I love how the thick black based Mercedes hands seem to float over the black dial. I know a lot of people here prefer the 40mm Explorer II with the red GMT hand, but I have to say I prefer how the 42m case sits on my wrist. The sloped brushed stainless steel bezel also tones down the size compared to the BLRO’s thicker ceramic bezel.

However Rolex created it specifically to commemorate that achievement. Next year is the 50th anniversary of the explorer 2. Also a great watch but wish the Explorer II had the 3-6-9 and 12 indices like this one, I think it would make it stand out much more. It would lose the date, but I'd you want a GMT with date there is the GMT master.

Even the subtle date wheel and positioning looks great. When it comes to the lume, I find that it is simply stunning and shines even more bright and beautiful than my current generation Explorer II. Love how you get blue lume with green lume accent on the pip and minute hand. The bracelet is super comfortable and can be adjusted using a simple sliding function under the clasp which is just out of this world, have never seen one like this.
