I couldnt agree more...
...there are a couple of guys here in Denmark where they have sandblasted the surface especially on the bracelet to make it look more matte... Nice.. 
I haven't done it, as I am a original guy (maybe due to my vintage..). I only like watches that are original (as possible). So if I don't like a particular watch (enough) as it is, I will not buy it
Also DLC Rolexes. For one I actually fancy them. For two they where not ment to be (due to Rolex) so I will not buy any.
Same om my cars..as original as possible. Down to alloys and suspension.

The underrated white...
Manila, 2010 I think it's my first time to post in the Rolex forum. I hang around the Photography forum for the most part but lurk big time outside of it. I just wanted to share my experience with owning this garden variety Exlporer II for more than 5 yea...
I love white dialed watches
Your photo of the Explorer is quite beautiful. I think white dials pop and are lovely on the wrist. By the way, the white Milgauss is my favorite amongst the three variants! Thanks for sharing, and I hope to see more from you here. Cheers, Daos
I also like white dial watches
Especially the Explorer II. Wouldn't mind having one of my own. Very nice picture. Best regards, George
What a great post! Your thoughts on the 16570 are well worth reading.
I owned the black dialed version of this for a time (I've almost always had one or another Oyster Professional model as my "daily beater" watch), and it was one of my favorite modern Rolex watches. It was replaced by the one I currently have (14060M Subma...
Superbly written post, Echi.
It was a great pleasure to read you! All you say about the Explorer II is right. This is not an evident watch, as could be a Submariner or a Daytona, but this is the reason which makes me love it a lot. I would love less the White Milgauss, which doesn't ...
Thank you. Always scary to post in watch forums...
for usually unfounded reasons. I appreciate the welcome! I tried on the white Milgauss yesterday. I think it needs a few more visits before actual "serious" consideration. I do agree that the GV(?) is the one to get but I am currently partial to white dia...
Actually a white dial rolex isn't always tepid nor underrate
See below for example ... It can go crazy if you allow it Tyler...
Actually ...
It's orange. I mess up the setting and "burned" it. I will do shot in the future. Your E2 will look fantastic in a white stripes nato I presume. Then again it may look loud Lets us know which model you decide on. I'm sure it will be awesome. Best Tyler
Great post...
...and a warm welcome to the forum. It was my pleasure reading your post and trying to understand your thoughts. I am myself very keen on the white dials. Something I have been for some years. In my belongings of not vintage do I own a white dialed Dayton...
Thanks, Hans...
Ah, the Daytona. I am wishing that they would somehow limit the markings on the dial and the polished surfaces on that one. Definitely a superb watch although my main preference has been for tricompax(?) layouts like the moonwatch or dual registers like t...

a great post!
you sure do love your explorer. I must admit, after reading your post, I started to lust for this model. All the best and kind regards!
Thanks, SJX! Never had the guts to pry off ...
the bracelet for a leather one. Btw, I really enjoy your Cartier posts. I lurk there a lot as well. I never thought about Cartier until I started reading your posts. Thank you
I too lurk
on the photography forum and enjoy your wonderful photography. But I still don't know much about photography despite that lurking. - SJX
