Picked this up today

This is the last run of the 16570 series before the updated Explorer 2 was launched in 2011 with 42mm and orange GMT hand. Could be considered a “transition model” as only the 2009-2011 model years featured an updated movement and no spring bar holes on the side of the lugs.

With all the losses made last week, I consider this parking my money where it will hold value.

Who knows, maybe all our watches can serve us if ever cash becomes worthless and we need to barter!

The Ex II with the 3186 movement has been underestimated for so long, but things will change... With this choice you are on the winner‘s side!
