alligoat Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Get us some links to the watches you're looking at and don't hesitate to be more specific- there's a number of models which are Explorer IIs- 1655, 16550, 16570 and even the newer ones- 216570. Same with Explorer Is- 1016, 14270, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These two are in my sights, Both from BP-factory: 216570. https://www.pf-868.com/makers/bp-products/0-0-0-0-0-rlex00017-bp-216570-chs-explorer-ii-ss-ss-black-sa-3187.html 214270. https://www.pf-868.com/0rlex00031-explorer-1-uv-214270-ss-black-sa-3132.html my question is basically: what are your thoughts on these two? .... are these the best versions out there at the moment or am I overlooking a factory who has a better version?

alligoat Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Back in the old days a CHS- correct hand-stack- movement was a risky proposition- you just didn't know when it would fail. I don't know if they've gotten any better. https://www.pf-868.com/makers/bp-products/rlex00011-216570-explorer-ii-ss-ss-white-a-2836-mod-to-calbre-3187.html?___SID=U This movement has the ICHS- in-correct hand stack- and is probably a little less risky movement wise- but the hand-stack is not right- but will anyone notice? The 214270 has the SA3132- it would be better with the a2824-2 movement. But the decision is yours. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
