Even if I wasn't biased I'd choose the Expll

Tudor GMT all the way. It's the coolest watch out there today. Go for it.

Every time I buy a Tudor I end up selling it 2 weeks later and paying the difference for a comparable Rolex.
Take that as you will. |

With the date wheels issues on the new Tudor GMT, go with the Exp2.

Another vote for the Explorer II. Both great, but great value in the 216570 right now.

The ExplorerII. The GMT rivet bracelet is a deal breaker.

Exp2. Because it wears thinner and is more legible (imo)

I picked the exp II, but what was right for me might not be the same for you.

I like both and was considering each. I decided on the Tudor GMT.
Explorer II hands and dial...everything just looks slightly too bloated to me. I prefer the proportions of the previous generation Explorer II. Go with which ever speaks to you more after trying on in person. I certainly did not expect to walk out of the AD with Tudor GMT that day but that is the one that I kept thinking about more. |

I am another vote for the previous explorer II - sold mine a few years back and strongly considering buying another at a lot more cash sadly
current model not so much for me I have the tudor GMT - it is a great watch forgetting in the UK I paid £2570 making it stupidly good value

I'm not a fan of the stainless bezel on the Explorer II. I need a little color, even if it's black. I mentioned earlier in this thread that I prefer the Tudor GMT.

I can’t get rid of the 16800 sub. It was a gift from my father. I have been thinking about it and I’m leaning towards the explorer 2.
