Small cameras very close will distort this relationship.
Here's my best shot at it: ...  Still, the EX II 42 is a tad larger in every way. In one day you will adjust. Legibility and lume are crazy-good. -jim |

Jim that is a perfect shot! To this day I am still puzzled why some folks think the 216570 is absurdly large. IMO I believe it's perfect in every way, well proportioned (as your picture attest to), and super comfortable on the wrist.

Here are the 40 and 42 side by side:
 The AD over in Buford has these two in the case NIB for easy comparison. Mickey, you know you want it so just do it.  Fr. John† |

I have got to admit...now that I am wearing a Moon watch again. My original Explorer II seems a tad small...I have to wait for the prices to come down (grey/used) on the 42 Explorer before I consider a white dial.

Thanks!
That last one is interesting...Might be the angle. Sometimes the 42 looks HUGE! |
