My personal preference was for the white dial, but black dial also lovely. Have had mine just under two weeks now and really enjoying it. Looking forward to your impressions when you have enjoyed yours for a few days.

Many things have already been said, here my first impressions I always loved the Explorer II, as stated earlier I am frustrated since the Model 1655, mainly because of the tiny winding crown. So, I insisted wanting to give a try to this one. I am happily ...  

I really like it too.

Another Rolex you're happy with, my friend. That is what counts the most. And also, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one, with us. All the best. Nicolas.

Doubts can always be dealt with.

At least we are going to be able to debat about this one for a while. Best regards, George

Which is always a good thing.

But maybe I am more interested by Vintage Rolexes. I like some modern Rolexes a lot: The Green Milgauss, the Yachtmaster ( my fav! ), the GMT. But this one, no, not for me. I don't feel the design is harmonious, like on the former models. Still, it is a h... 

Guys, I see him coming... He wants it as gift! RMLOL [nt]

i read as many for as there are against this one! just goes show you how many paradigms exsist out there, its a good job Rolex make so many different models, personally i have enjoyed mine for the last 2 months and growing stronger all the time as long as... 

It does not matter...

When I pick a watch it is because I like it or badly need it, in either case so long it pleases me, with respect, it does not matter to me if my choice is unpopular. What matters is my enjoyment and pleasure, and this is essential. It is however good to s... 

Very well said, POY. [nt]

This far, the only critic and discussion I will bear is about the hands. This watch is to me perfectly executed and highly functional, the only thing that can be appear disproportionate is the width of the hour and minute hands. But in wearing the watch, ... 

You're obviosuly in love, POY.

But I will stay stuck to my former ( and Vintage ) Explos. Firmly, in a stubborn way. Best, my friend. Nicolas.

I am spontaneous as you know... I know you

 
 By: PoyFR : December 16th, 2011-03:37
Will love it too, I also know you are not stubborn, and I know you will learn to have deep sentiments for this piece if you give it a chance on your wrist. Love does not always happen at first sight... Look at our relation, I learnt to love you RMLOL ;-) ... 

Hey, the Explorer II is way too expensive for me....

The cut the phone and the electricity at your house? Didn't pay the bill? Hmmmm? Best, POY. Nicolas.

Ho, so you are making fun because last night storm in my region
