tmg Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 My latest acquisition a 16570 circa 1991. Finally, my first white dialed watch. I haven't purchased a gen watch in years and a 16550 is not in my budget these days, but the older bezel and aged tritium is what caught my eye and I had to snap it up. I think I'll be wearing this for a few days to come.
TwoTone Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 Beautiful piece... Wear it well friend... Double T
dluddy Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 Now you have two gens that are on my list This and the Snowflake Congrats. I still contend this is one of the nicest looking Rolex models ever
freddy333 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 This model must have a white dial. Great piece.
Stephane Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 This model must have a white dial. Great piece. Are you sure Freddy? Anyway, congrats TMG and as Dluddy says I am very jalous of your SnowFlake

Stephane Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 @ Stephane i thing Freddy refers to the way tritium patina contrasts with white dial ... i feel ure on the edge with ure exp II hold in there its a great piece ... laz I asked some friends about keeping or selling it and in the end it makes sense to keep it indeed. And I must recognize that I loved to wear it these last days
mrandazzo Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) Beautiful piece tmg! @ Stephane: The cream is lovely, but the black is cool and classy. Keep it! Or build two frankens and have both! Edited July 22, 2008 by mrandazzo
tmg Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Posted July 22, 2008 -Laz, how could I forget you.... You've got a shout out now my friend -Stephane, keep it!!!! Thanks for all the kind words gents. I do think the white Exp II is one of the most handsome, understated (and under-rated) Rolex sports models. How can you not love the thick font on that bezel!!!
By-Tor Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 What a beautiful watch! Explorer II and GMT are the coolest Rolexes ever made. Both have superior movements and incredible "spirit", which you can't even explain in words.
anton Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 TMG, The first thing that caught my eye was the bezel. IMO, it's beautiful and sort-of-looks-like-maxi but in a style all its' own. Wear it well! It looks great!
