Just someone with a slight watch fetish. Unlike some others here, I don't flip the ones I buy.

Explorer II (2006 F-Series)

Great review!

Here's my new (pre-owned) 2006 Explorer II. Sold my Yachtmaster to get this one. And never regretted it. I love my Explorer II especially with its white dial.

Took me around a dozen tries to get the laser micro-etched crown. Here it is...

I know a lot of folks have expresed reserve about painting the white gold black on the indicies including myself but after seeing several shots now the black has really grown on me. it looks simple, elegant and classy. If I was in the market for one it would be white all the way!
Wear em' in good health guys!

GREAT JOB with the shot of the micro-etched crown Thanks for the extra effort! The white dial Explorer II was the first Rolex i ever owned. It's timeless.

Explorer II

Hi JJ,
I am new to this forum...I am looking to purchase a pre owned Explorer II as a surprise for my fiance as a wedding gift. Can you or anyone suggest any trusted retailers, either online or in the Chicago area.

Thanks!!!

White dial

JJ,
I wanted a black dial Explorer II. But after visiting my nearest AD (100 miles away), the white dial sang to me. You were correct.... put both side to side and one will smile!
