New rolex explorer 2 42mm

New quality control pictures, looks like an improvement to me, but I wonder if I should accept? :g:

Cyclops is not perfectly aligned but I think it is a step up from the first watch. Lume seems to be a bit poorer on this one though. Date seems to be a bit low in the window but I don't really care about that.

 

@ Superbia: Nice Exp ! If I was you I'd jump on it !  Where does it come from ?

Would love to get veteran's view on the "Waterproof to 30m... Pressure Tested at Factory Level" claim on Trusty's - and assume other - sites:.

 

1) yep, waterproof...leave as is

2) maybe, pay USD 50 extra for the TD to test for you or

3) none of the above! Send it to Uwe or someone else for the piece of mind.

 

Any new owner experiences from their first weeks/days?

 

Thanks much.

Go with choice three, when I got mine the case back was so loose I could open it with my fingers. So the design might be capable of WR to 3atm or more but until its been tested don't count on it. I am probably going to send mine off to get a mvmt service and will get WR testi g at that point. Curious to hear if anyone has had it tested and the results, but would think it will pass 3atm if closed tightly.

Not working at all or not keeping time correctly? Remember to pull the crown all the way out to the 3rd position and back all the way in after setting the time. I was having problems with my EXPII until I read that part and it was all better after that.

Hi 
I asked Andrew of TrustyT if he could have the Noob version it and this is his answer :
 
"Sorry but I dont sell the Noob one...
 
Their service back up sucks big time and they are about to close down soon after clearing stocks.
 
Andrew"
 
What do you think ?

Great looking pics here....enjoyed the read.

 

I've been watching the 216570's since they hit the market.

No doubt they've made some improvements along the way.

To me, the first thing I notice (and everyone else likely does too) when I look at the watch is the date.

(a magnifying cyclop over it tends to draw attention)

 

If they could just get that damn date centered and aligned I'd likely pull the trigger on a Black one.
