justlounging Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 I just got this Explorer II from a trusted dealer and it looks and feel quite close to my gen 16570.. upon looking closer, i noticed that the printing is slightly different from my gen..it is showing 'EXPLORER ||' in stead of 'EXPLORER II'... I know and heard of such error dials in existence for the GMT Master II 16710 but what about the 16570 Explorer 2? Are there any gens in existence? Would love to hear from the Rollies experts on this.. Also would it be an easy mod to 'draw' 2 white lines on top of the || or would it be much easier sourcing for a gen dial? Thanks in advance..

irolexu Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 I see you got the CHS version? I do not believe there is a gen dial with that style of EXPLORER II like that. I've owned rep and seen thousands of gens of these and never once noticed this till now so I would not worry about it unless all of your friends are ROLEX ADs and what not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japanic Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 From what I've heard, the last non-ceramic GMTs with the 3186 movement had the stick two. In order to distinguish them the GMTs with the 3185, which had the roman numeral two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
