Rolex Explorer II Ref 16570: From the ad to the reality...

The ad: 




The reality... Sor Rondane Expedition, one year sooner...






Isn't it extraordinary to have such a piece of history? 

Best,

Nicolas

Sure is. Nice one.

These Explorer II ads are very much in the spirit of National Geographic, don't you think? [nt]

Wondering if i should put a black one on my wish list..

 
 By: Echi : July 2nd, 2018-20:27
To complement my white. I've always dismissed the black. I always thought the white was the better exp2.

But then somewhere along the way, I found myself being more of a black dial kinda guy.. to the point of actually letting go of my white Milgauss, leaving my white exp2 just in case I revert :-p

Anyway, it has crossed my mind to get one. Who knows.

I love these old ads!

Thanks for sharing.

White or Black Rolex, the eternal debate... Daytona, Explorer, Milgauss...

I said white, because I wanted to go out of the beaten paths, with these three. The 1019 with its silver dial is to die for.
Now, I would say that, in the case of these three, both is the answer.
I would love to see a very nice Explorer II 16550 Black, as well as a Daytona 16520 and a Milgauss 1019.
And to add them!
Best, my friend.
And keep your 16570!
