I know I love it too.....

I wonder if it will be so?

TheVTCGuy · 21 January 2017, 07:53 AM

The black face doesn't look bad at all, but IMHO a polar with the black ceramic bezel is

yannis · 21 January 2017, 07:58 AM

A 42mm ceramic Rolex will be interesting indeed.

LBC4225 · 21 January 2017, 08:01 AM

Damn.... I like it

GB-man · 21 January 2017, 08:03 AM

If they do it, which I would prefer they don't, I hope they have a nice radial brush on the ceramic. That's one of the key features of the explorer. Frankly either way it's going to change the look and identity of the exp II for the worse.

Cru Jones · 21 January 2017, 08:05 AM

Sorry, but it looks like a Tag to me. No disrespect to TH, just that it reminds of one.

sco · 21 January 2017, 08:08 AM

I think it looks cool. I have no idea if Rolex will ever make it though...

AK797 · 21 January 2017, 09:00 AM

I love orange so this appeals to me but I doubt the Exp will go ceramic or PM.

nikhsub1 · 21 January 2017, 09:02 AM

This is the watch I will buy if Rolex does this... the new EXP2 is begging for a black ceramic bezel.

Tj O'Reily · 21 January 2017, 09:05 AM

If it had a ceramic bezel I would expect it to turn. Then why not just buy a GMT II?

the exp2 is fine with the ss bezel, maxi dial and orange. what it needs is to be 40mm again. 42mm is a little much.

The daytona ceramic bezel doesn't turn. The EXP bezel never did turn, get a GMT for that...

osamu · 21 January 2017, 09:22 AM

Since the EXII bezel doesn't turn, I'd want to see something like a tungsten or other scratch resistant alloy bezel on it. It's always had a metal bezel, and I'd want to keep it that way, but could change the composition a bit.

Leave the black ceramic for the GMTII.

yunach · 21 January 2017, 09:50 AM

Love the look. Hope this gets done.

AJM914 · 21 January 2017, 09:52 AM

Looks nice

Yeah, a ceramic bezel is silly on the EXP II, as it would be less durable. If one wanted black, you could always get the bezel a DLC treatment.

Agree about 40mm, too.

Juantxo · 21 January 2017, 10:06 AM

Looks like a Heuer.

SemperFi · 21 January 2017, 10:14 AM

I like it better than the current model.

2ltdjorn · 21 January 2017, 10:14 AM

Nope

Palermo · 21 January 2017, 10:34 AM

Think I'd go for that one!

Indeed

This version doesn't do it for me.

natosub · 21 January 2017, 12:22 PM

That's like falling in love with a character from a movie; she doesn't exist!

airchitect · 21 January 2017, 12:23 PM

Never gonna happen. The stainless bezel IS the Exp2. What....are they gonna make a stainless look ceramic bezel? Nope.

Lordofrolex · 21 January 2017, 12:30 PM

I like the white dial version but both will be great watches.
