I felt the same way about my 16550
And since letting it go have always craved to get back a black dial 16570. The overall size and proportion just make it so easy so wear and deal with anything that comes. Even the jangly bracelet - same thought there too - somehow it is easier and more comfy than the modern designs. Just lighter, easier, happier.

Evolving taste
For the fans of this model, here’s a pic of my 16570. I post this for two reasons. 1. It’s what I’m wearing today 2. Over time I’ve grown to really love the thinness of this watch. For years I never minded height on a watch. (Offshore, big pilot , crosswi...
That looks great...superb watch :)
So does the 42mm... just different, I have them both.
Thanks so much!
Maybe if I tried the 42 on, I’d have a better idea but from pictures I seem to prefer the 40 but you never know I do however like the nod of the orange gmt hand 👍🏽

Wow!!!!😳🤯
What a stunning quartet!!! Thanks for sharing!! One of my grails is that 1655. I just love everything about that design.
My first "luxury" watch ; bought mine second hand back in 1984 for relatively little money.
About 20 years later a guy in Bangkok offered me $8500 on the spot and I'm glad I refused, even though I never liked the acrylic too much and already back then the Tritium wasn't that active anymore.
Also the bezel polished bevels
On these references are just so nice - that inner polished ring, and the outer polished ring - are just lovely. Really give the watch just the slightest elegance / character polish that the larger newer pieces do not have.
Ah well I hope you find what you’re looking for!
And yea the more I have this I just like the lightweight bracelet. You nailed it with “easier” not sure why that word is perfect to my ears but it is 😄👍🏽
Somehow I replied to your comment on the wrong comment 🤦🏻♂️ 😆
It’s further down in the comments. I’m on my mobile phone and got mixed up lol
You are right, the 16570 ( and the former references 16550 and 1655 ) are superb references, with a lot of charm, and still under the radar.
To be honest, I never liked the current Explo II. Big, and well, messy dial with this mix of references. For you... ...
