Rolex

Thanks for your refreshing point of view

 

Hi, Imran,

It is indeed very refreshing and gratifying to read a positive opinion on the new Explo II. I sure hope you will be able to decide which out of the two models to choose from, and then get it.

My concern is, didn't you feel that the watch has a lot going on? Maxi dial, thick hands, Freccione, is it all too much? Or in reality it all blends perfectly?

I will definitely keep an eye out for seeing it in the flesh sometime soon.

All the best,

Alex

Where to begin....only one place, the new Explorer 2 Freccione! (prob spelt that wrong ) It is...................................................................BLOODY AWESOME!!!!!!!!! seriously, I loved it , I want it, even if it is ludicrously overprice...

Effectively, I am in love with the new Explorer II, the problem is do I get the balck or the white one??? I am leaning towards the whitre one because I don't have any white dial Rolex's. Best regards, George

Imran, i am speechless, not because i like what i see..

..but i just dont know what to say why the fatter minute and hour hands, and does the mercedes hand appear bigger to balance the now larger 42mm case, thus has to balance the appearance of the markers on the dial? hmmmm, i dont know with this one. anyways... 

Thanks for the Tour D'Horizon, Irman .

The only one I want to see in the flesh is the Explo II... The others are way too far from my conception of a Rolex watch, or at least from my tastes... But the Explo II is something to be seen in the flesh. I'm a bit dubitative due to the association of ... 

Could you do a Sunday vintage Explorer pic for us to compare..?

It would be great to see a comparison pic against the new version to see the differences/similarities. Yours Nico, Andy.

Thanks a lot for the report

as usual, there is nothing for me in the new models but I'm sure some people will like the new stuff. Cheers Jeff

Wish the Explorer II

I really need to see that Exp2 in the metal. It's looking good right now! One question Imran, can you explain why the white dial has more lum? Does the entire white dial stay luminated in the dark?

The black exp 2 is an instant winner

These watches are going to be huge. I would take the black dial, even though the white is more unusual... I like the more subtle way the orange hand looks against the black... 42mm? Hmmm probably fantastic. Now e can be virtually certain the next NEW Dayt... 

Thanks for the Visual Tour, EXP II & Tudor Alarm for me!

if anyone cares, I'll take the black dial EXP II over the white one everyday!

Thanks for your refreshing point of view
