leroythelion Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Want to pull the trigger on an explorer II, but really can't decide between the new version or the 40mm polar version... Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asf Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I like the old ones better. They fit my wrist better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leroythelion Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I like bits from each version... I prefer the 40mm bracelet. But then I am really drawn to the orange hand and lettering on the 42mn. I've considered grabbing the 21j version of the 42mm plus another watch for the price of the 40mm clone. Too much choice, not enough money. Does anyone own the 21j version? Are they happy with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asf Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I had the 21j of the 42mm. Like I said, the way the case sat in my wrists made it feel like a giant rectangle on my wrist. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeKa Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 The new one looks a little like a plastic "hello kitty" - just not in pink but in orange Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TmeShare Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 No comparison. The 39mm version is way to small. I have the white 42mm from Trusty (the recent version) and have the newly release black 42mm Explorer II on its way. The 42mm version is just the right size and does not feel like a puck on my wrist (see DSSD). Also, both versions of the new 42mm have superlume so they are much more visible at night due to the dial size. TimeShare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
correctime Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 That 39mm version....is that 39mm including the crown or not including it?? The more I see them, the more I'm beginning to like the looks of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeKa Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 That 39mm version....is that 39mm including the crown or not including it?? The more I see them, the more I'm beginning to like the looks of them. Actually the 39 mm version is 40 mm if genuine And this is not including crown... I have the black and white as 2003 and 2004 model, so 1 with lugholes 1 without. Nice watch, but too modern for me, I'm more into the vintage look...

Star69 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 the 40mm version - its much more accurate then the 42mm one - just got mine today and im impressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leroythelion Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 That's my dilemma..I know the 40mm is the more accurate version... But I find the 42mm has more presence with orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
