Help with new Explorer 2 42mm - confusion with dealer about versions.

Hi guys - I have a white 42mm Explorer 2 already - one of the earlier models with the hands skinnier than the gen. When the new Swiss 1:1 model was released by Trusty I noticed the better hands etc so dropped $400 on a new one.

I've just received the QC pics from Andrew and to me this looks just like the old version added to his website in July and is still available - I have it on my wrist as I type! It looks nothing like the new version (added 8 Jan 2012) on his website with the fat hands. Top pic is the QC pic from his website for the new 1:1. Bottom pic is the QC pic he emailed me today. We've been back and forward by email and can't agree.

I should say I've dealt with Andrew many times and have always been a satisfied customer - I think there is some confusion here and nothing malicious but what are your thoughts?

QC pics from website - this is what I want.

I'm very interested in this new white Exp too, but I'm going to wait a bit until supply gets sorted out.

Good luck with this, Andrew is an excellent dealer but sometimes you get into a situation in which the dealer just doesn't see what you see, hate when that happens.

5,6 and 7 indices look to be a different colour,the date wheel looks to far left and if you look at the Rolex rehaut engravings between 10,11 and 12 they dont line up with the seconds ticks. Orange EXPLORER II different colour than the GMT hand, Or is it just me.
