Incoming Explorer II

I'm not a prolific poster but do visit the forum regularly so though I'd post some pics of my new 226570.

I've been lusting after this watch for a couple of years, before they became more desirable, and obviously before the latest revisions. I was really pleased when Rolex kept the changes to the new reference to a minimum. I have a couple of other watches but this one is going to be worn the most / daily. I love it.

For those that are interested, this is from the UK and AD said it was the second one they'd seen of the new reference. Dunno if that's true or he was trying to make me feel special!

Fantastic watch. Congratulations.

Rolex nailed it with this one. Significantly different in content from the outgoing model yet nearly identical to look at. They knew what they were doing.

Congratulations. I love the Polar dial. What's the difference between the 226570 and the 216570?
