Rolex Explorer II 16570. No need to spend a lot to have a great watch.
When we think of which Rolex are the most Un-Rolex watches, the modern Milgauss comes to mind, as well as the Yacht-Master and the new Air King.
I would definitely add the Explorer II, especially with its white dial configuration.
It has its own charm and personality, though.
It wasn't my first choice, as I started with a GMT MASTER, but it came quite soon in my collection.
Till then and for 13 years, now, I am enjoying it.
A lot!
Best,
Nicolas

Nice explo
This could be the next one to land in my modest collection... With a white tropic or a brown vintage leather strap maybe?
Lately the Exp 2 has been in my mind.
Underrated, Underachiever, Unsung, Unpopular, Uninteresting and UnRolex. But that’s the charm and allure. Since I have a SS Daytona White, I prefer the black dial on the newer version with the intriguing phantom hands. Maybe one day. Thanks for sharing! ...
Quite possibly my favorite watch
And definitely my favorite Rolex, with the Explorer I. Very understated, practical, tough, versatile. It's the watch I put on when I don't want to think about what watch to wear. ...
Thanks Nicolas
Yes, the way the tritium aged was one of the reasons I bought this watch. Also its general condition, and given the fact that the green sticker was still on 18 years after it was sold, I believe this watch was hardly or never polished, and hardly ever wor...
That’s the way to go, Boris!
I also prefer the Explorer II with nicely patinated indexes. It looks so gorgeous! Cheers! René
Agreed, although
to me, this watch embodies what I want to see from Rolex, and what I wish I saw more of in their contemporary collections.
