New Rolex Explorer II Rep (pics and tells) need mods


Recommended Posts

Posted

I just got my Exp II 42mm 216570 rep from Mary and Rochest. They have been very good and I would buy from them again. :tu:

It's not perfect, and a bit large for my lithe wrist, but I'm looking to wear it for a couple of months to see if I like it enough to get the GEN.

I was wondering if we have any people on our forum that can modify some of the main issues below;

  1. The date is off (a bit high in the window).
  2. Hands are in the wrong order. The hour hand is supposed to be closest to the face (see F pic -GEN on right side). I went to an AD and saw that the GEN hour hand is amazingly close to the face.
  3. Would be nice to have a GEN face or at least GEN hands, especially the orange GMT hand is not exact orange and it's a bit too long.
  4. The number 4 on the bezel looks like the correct size but the 6 looks small, as does the 8.

Overall it's a nice rep but I would like to improve the listed items. Any suggestions?

The lume shot was amazing after getting charged in the California sun for a few minutes!

So it appears that the hands of the genuine, from the crystal to the dial are in the following order:

- Seconds

- Minutes

- GMT

- Hour

Do not think so...! It is about the angle. The GMT lies under the hour hand
