Has anyone had the same Explorer II since it first came out in 2011 as a daily wearer? How has the new movement held up? Reliability?

Although it carries a 3187 movement it is very similar to the 3185 and 3186 that have proved reliable for years in millions of GMTs and older Expl2 models. I would say it is no more or less reliable than any other rolex. However, the case is very durable which makes it a great daily wearer and can take more of an eating compared to others!

I'm wearing mine now and since I bought it 2011 it has been my favorite Rolex.

Seems to be a very reliable movement. I have been very satisfied with mine.

DeltaRol · 15 January 2017, 11:47 AM

So good to hear. I have had mine for a month today and I absolutely love it. Have not had to adjust the time even once. Very accurate!

My daily wearer. Jeans or dress pants and if this one a glove.

The 3187 movement does have problems but i still love my 216570 ..

Have had mine about 2 weeks and keeps great time and one of the most comfortable bracelets I have owned of all my past Rolex watches.

Loving mine since 2012

Probably the next watch to add to the stable. Been eyeing a new Polar last few weeks. Had a 16570 and miss it. Interested in trying the new case.

DeltaRol · 15 January 2017, 01:14 PM

The case and bracelet make it extremely comfortable

I've been wearing mine daily for about 2 years now, its accurate and very comfortable to wear, no problems so far.

Love my polar wears well super comfy and reliable

I got mine very shortly after they came out. As I've accumulated more references it doesn't get as much wrist time, but it still remains as one of my most sentimental pieces. There is nothing else in the Rolex catalog that looks like it making it very difficult to justify replacing. It's my only piece with a white dial as well which means its always a safe fall back. I can't see myself ever getting rid of it. It certainly will make due as a daily wearer in either black or white.
