Hi All,
Just thought I'd post some pics of my 16570 Cream Explorer II after a 12 week Spa at Rolex UK.
It looks superb IMO.
Although it is an E serial 1990 and does not fall into the usual vintage criteria.
IMO it is special enough to be vintage.

As far as I'm concerned, the Cream Explorer II is the best example of that watch out there. I LOVE it!!!

Mark,

That is perhaps the best example of the cream exp II I've ever seen.

The dial and case/lugs are just perfect.

What a museum grade piece!

They look quite good together.

I still prefer the fat font bezel of the 16550.
