From this pic, Jocke, YES, the outcome is UGLY
But if you work from the Yacht Master Dial, you may get a nicer outcome, indeed...
I'm quite sure that Rolex will present us in the years to come a new version of the Explo II...
And if they don't, the Explo II will be an exception in the Rolex Family, which is not bad either!
Best, my friend!

3 Maxi Dials together, and a Question
Red Sub, Sea Dweller Triple 6, and TRansitionnal GMT 16750... Three different models, but 3 Maxi Dials... 3 maxi looks, with these big round indexes, and a wonderful patina instead of the more modern small circled Luminova indexes... Now the question: Til...
I really prefer the maxi dials
That s why I prefer the 60's - 70's vintage oysters The only exception for me is the 16600. I love its sobriety :...
Nicholas my friend, great post..................
Yes we are going back to maxi´s but we will still have the surrounds so long we use Luminova. I´m not really shure about the white dialed ExplorerII, not nice IMHO. Jocke...
I would prefer the maxi dial without the WG surrounds.
and while we are at it, why not through in a matte dial too! I have seen a few service dial 1680's that look sweet. ~Scott
So Black Surrounds onstead of WG, Scott?
With a Black Matt dial, yep, it would work very well! You will visually have the feeling that you have painted indexes! Thanks for your input!!! Nicolas
No surrounds at all is what I meant!
My preference would be a matte dial, maxi markers and no surrounds. Sorry for the confusion! ~Scott
Would be very curious to see something like that, Scott
And I will certainly fall in love! LOL Best. Nicolas
I know two guys that have Matte Luminova service dials on 1680's.....
one was just recently sold to another unknown collector, I will see if I can find some pics! ~Scott
I prefer no surrounds.
The maxi without any WG surrounds will make the watch look more classy. However, I don't think that Rolex will make this happen again. Cheers
