In hindsight, it became a classic
I remembered when it was released, I held the sentiment that the piece did not need an upsizing. Now in hindsight, I have come to like this piece quite a lot.
I much prefer this to the GMTmaster as the steel bezel looks less busy and more suited to the mountaineering historical origins of this piece.

Hands on review of the Rolex Explorer II 216570 white dial
I wished to come back to the Rolex Explorer II 216570 white dial, which is certainly not a new model, but which still has a special place in the Rolex catalog almost 10 years after its presentation at the 2011 edition of Baselworld. In fact, there are two...

Thx for the extensive & very informative review, including great pics ( BTW: the lume shot is really cool ) ! Best for the remainder of the Holiday Season ! hs

Thanks for this excellent review
Was not hunting this watch but I’ve just bought one at AD while I was looking for the discontinued MG without GV. The more I wear I the more I like it.... A special place in SS models. Bigger than others, coolest with Orange hand and different dial. Thank...
Agree that this reference remains a “sleeper” in the catalogue.
I own both the 216570 and the 126710blnr, and I must say that the 216570 finds more wrist time than the Batman, which was not my expectation going into things. I find that the Exp II, despite the larger case size, wears lower on the wrist, and has more of...
Great review on a great watch
Could not agree more. The Exp II is a fantastic timepiece and the price delta between it and the Subs and GMTs is disproportionate; this makes it excellent value. Huge fan.
