lazarini Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Rolex Explorer II - 16570 - White Dial Hi all This topic sounds familiar yes? If so this means u have read my good friend Stephan's review of his genuine 16570 black dial explorer II if not i suggest u do so by clicking here : Stephane and his black dialed 16570 beauty By-Thor has written a great review with smashing photos of his white dialed franken EXP. II worth checking out here: By-Thor Franken EXP II review by saying that i will keep this more on a pictorial level but feel free to ask any questions u might have ill do my best to answer them ... Before i skip to pictures some "THANK YOU"s are in order : It needs to be understood that this specific Rolex Explorer II is just that in true sense of the models name! It had traveled and explored the world from TEXAS USA to Washington DC USA to ROME Italy EU to BRNO Czech Republic EU to final destination BRATISLAVA SLOVAKIA my wrist !!! addingwatch/J: for selling me this watch and being a great gentleman in the process ... he basically agreed to sell me the watch on just my word and waited while i collected the funds seriously he coud sell this much easier but understood my enthusiasm and shared it with me ... man that what the RWG is all about! DuDro/D: i have received the box and papers separately via post but the watch came hand delivered ... i have posted in Supporters area if someone would be kind enough to bring it anywhere in EU and same day received a PM from D. He was happy enough to bring it over while going to vacation the trip was smooth and watch was picked by my GF friend in Italy. My hat of to u dear sir. Nika: my GFs colleague friend who picked up the watch in Italy directly from D. and brought it to Brno, CZ where we drove last week to pick it up with my GF from Bratislava! TO all RWG: There is no doubt this would not be possible i have not joined this boards and met so many great people i THANK YOU all for this ... special shout out to the EURO GTG CREW u know who u are guys thx for ure support! OKA hope u managed through that i just had to share this amazing story ... now lets role the pictures shall we few basic ones ... closeups ... luuuume .... on the wrist ... 3 different clothing scenarios --- the great versatility of this watch ! on the north pole Camo casual Friday out with the boys Meeting with that important client u might say Conclusion and my personal notes: Well i love it ... hahah how classic u might think but let me tell u i had my share of replica watches and still do but this one just has that extra thing and no its not because it has papers and box. The attention to details and supreme end finish is something that rep factories just cant achieve and i mean never! When u wear it for a week like i did now u just feel the difference. Bracelet is butter setting time is smooth watch runs - 2 sec a day and has never been open! I'm glad i have purchased this watch and since its my first Genuine Rolex whatever happens i will never forget it specially because of the story how i managed to acquire it I hope u enjoyed this pictorial and felt a bit of the warmness that was filling my hart while i was writing it ! STAY COOL RWG Laz --- over and out ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrgod Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Great watch and story! Love the "versatility pictures"! White dial Explorer is my favorite Rolex, (at least among the affordable ones..). With its white dial and fixed bezel, it looks very non-Rolex like, still it is a true toolwatch and part of Rolex-history. I am a bit jealous. ...Wear it well! By the way.. It also looks good on rubber.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 It's a beauty of course! Explorer II is one of those watches that never gets the attention it deserves. It's probably the coolest Rolex out there. Very understated watch, and definitely not something that people even notice. But that's exactly why I love it. One of my favorite watches ever, and excellent choice for a gen. It's a bit perverse that ExpII is cheaper than Submariner in the 2nd hand market, because the 3185 is a superior movement compared to the robust but simple 3135. PS: I'm ready to buy a gen 16710 (funds are ready), as soon as I find a decent deal in the EU area. I would be looking for a gen ExpII too, if I weren't so lucky with finding my excellent franken.

alligoat Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Very nice Laz. That watch looks beautiful! I like the lume shots, the 501B end pieces, just a great looking watch- as B-T says, understated. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Congratulations Laz, what else ? It's an amazing adventure for that watch and I'm very happy it ended on your wrist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbell6 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Hi Laz, Congratulation. I'm very Jealous. This is the Rolex that originally attracted my attention many years ago. Unfortunately (but not too unfortunately), the day I went to make my purchase, I decided on a regular Sub instead. I actually hope to add one of these to my collection some day. Enjoy, and make sure you never sell it (or if you do, sell it to me ) Best regards, B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadweller4000 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 This watch looks so beautiful. Elegant yet sporty. A watch suiting any occasion and it also has seen half of the globe before it got to you! Keep it forever and wear it with pride my friend. Hope to check it out in person some day. Cheers.
