you MUST make sure to check out both the latest (Random) and V serial as there are IMO BIG differences in the last generation dial comparied to the second last..
see below a write up i did earlier in the year...
So it turns out that sometime after V or G, and definitely for the Random series, Rolex changed the thickness of the hour indices markers on the now discontinued etc Explorer II 167570, from thick to thin.
A guy on another forum has contacted Rolex and was advised that Rolex had made a modification to the 16570 dial recently by 'thinning out' the hour indices. This has the effect of increasing the diameter of the lume in the markers, making them appear larger at night...
Below you can see what I'm talking about
What do you guys think? Does this make sense?
Cutting down on material saves cash, it's like stripping out a car.. and why spend resources on something that is no more..
V, 2009, 16570 - THICK indices markers
Random, 2011, 16570 - THIN indicies markers
