https://www.rolexforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=32 Looks like a nice watch, is the bezel a mark 3 rather than the 4 that you’d expect on a 1982 mark 5 dial though? There was likely some cross over but 1980/mark 4 dials were assumed to be the cut off for mark 3 bezel. Aftermarket Arabic date wheels can be picked up cheap on eBay so you’d want evidence that its factory before paying any premium on it (although if this is the Maunders one then I think they have UAE documents with this watch, and they are nice guys) |

Journey started with a frustrated decision to buy an ExpII (2021 ref 216570) since nothing else was in stock at my AD. Much to my surprise, it became my daily due to it's versatility as a formal dress watch as well as a tool watch, traveling with me across the USA.
A 2002 ref 16570 came across my AD's shop and he called me about it since he knew how much I enjoyed the 216570, and without a second thought, I bought the 16570 and IT became my daily - beautiful proportions, great size, flew under the radar (which I love) and blended well for any occasion. My AD was onto my by now and less than 12mo out, he called me again but wouldn't tell me why he needed to see me. I waltz into the shop only to be greeted with a gorgeous 1987 ref 16550 (rail dial, spider-webbing, creamy lume) - needless to say, this replaced the 16570 on my wrist as a daily! The ExpII has become the ultimate watch for me due to it's versatility, looks, hardiness, subtlety without cutting any corners. Looking forward to enjoying these for years to come and hopefully be able to add a 1655 to complete my ExpII journey |

Part of my permanent vintage collection. Possibly my favourite piece, along with 1016 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I really would like to get one in 39/40mm in the years to come ! Hopefully Rolex will come with a smaller one than the present Explorer II in the next years.

Have you noticed an uptick in the value of the 16570? Even when other model values are coming down, this one seems to be moving up.

Is the 40mm version subject to magnetism or is it a bigger issue if it is running fast?

The thing I notice is how much better the older and smaller ones look.
The current iteration has not gained anything good from its upsizing. |
