Well David, after reading through 64 pages of posts, this is quite the thread you started sir. I loved my Exii42 before, but now I have even more appreciation for it and glad I joined the EXII club. Sadly I haven't posted on this thread sooner. Here are the obligatory pictures.

Just got mine. It doesn’t sing to me yet but I’m going to give it some time. This is my fourth Rolex and it’s DEFINITELY the most comfortable yet.

The Explorer II Enigma
Guys I’m looking for a replacement clasp for my Explorer II.

If I’m correct the code is 78790A.

Would you happen to have one for sale please let me know.

I have the same strap from MilTat and I love it....mine gets a lot of sun and saltwater and has faded quickly, but I think just adds to the overall look.
