An Explo II on a hot italian roof
Seems that only Jocke and me are posting pics of the Explorer II ...
A Pity, as this watch is a great one, and quite original, for a rolex, as it comes with an unusual White Dial.
Does the white dial explain the relative lack of love for this watch?
It is time to give it justice!
From the very cold countries ( this watch attended an expedition in 96 / 97 ) to the very hot climates, the Explo II is a real tool watch, and allow me to add ...A very nice one.
Isn't it lovely?
Best,
Nicolas

I think ...
... it's very lovely ... putting an explo II around the wrist is always something special ... seems like they're made for my wrist too ... You know Nicolas, i still have the same wrist-size as yours ... if you ever get tired of this Explorer ... PS. I see...
The roof is the same, BUT
Most of the watches I took in pic are different, as I made an imortant turn over, this year, in my selection of " Holiday Watches "... I faer I won't get quickly tired of this Explo II, my friend... Best, and catch you soon! Nicolas Lauda.
Only BLACK HANDS in R sport watch...
Very pure white dial with black hands...NICE... EASY to see time...GREAT SHOOT... Best Chung
Yep, the contrast between
The black circled indexes and the black hands adds a necessary although beautiful contrast to this professional Rolex. Even the white indexes begin to get a light and nice creamy patina. Best, Chung. Nicolas
Thanks, Fernando! Have to agree.

Aaah, Stefan,
The Blac Explo II may be gorgeous, if the indexes are nicely patined. It will add some sublime contrast, in this case. But I prefer the white version, maybe because it is less loved... Best, my friend. Nicolas
Really lovely WATCH, indeed.
And these pics are like it reserves. This white Explo is a WATCH that I've loved always. Probably an understanded Rolex, but a really nice one. These white dials, in some models, is a great and nice option. A Next hunt?? Probably, but later than hunt a ni...
Agree, Emilio
GMT first! But I'm pretty sure that you will end with a nice Explo II... Best, Hermano! Nicolas
It's a handsome watch...
...but I find I often overlook it in favor of the GMT II, which I prefer, partially due to the bezel design. Your pictures certainly turn my head though, and show off the clean, pretty, white dial to best effect. Thanks! Daos
The GMT II is another matter of ..Obsession, for me, Daos
I really need to get one! But this is another watch, compared to this Explo II, which is more a tool watch, when the new GMT is dressier than the previous version... Both are great;, indeed! Best, nicolas
Explorer II
This is the next watch on my list! The white dial rolexes have a special appeal to me. Athas
The funny thing, Athas
Is to remember how hot this watch was, at least in France, at the end of the 90ies, beginning of the ' 2000. Then, once Rolex decided to send more Subs, GMT and Explos to their AD, the Explo II began to suffer a bit. Like you, I'm a big fan of this white ...
