Looks right to me. 24-hour bezel. Looks just like both of my x2’s

I’m unable to post a picture from my phone. You can see what looks like the platinum blasted numbers on the bezel similar to the Submariner and GMT.

I would think so it being a anniversary model.. the green northern lights and green moss are hinting at some green IMO

Someone hoping it’ll go back to 40mm...doubtful, everything is getting bigger..if anything maybe it’ll go up in size since it was larger than the old sub. 40 vs 42...now the sub is 41 sooo

Maybe a green face and SS bezel that would be nice.

So a Starbucks explorer if the bezel is black..the face def looks green to me and it being an anniversary year for explorer 2 there has to be some green no?

I can’t see them adding a ceramic bezel, not in the explorer’s dna

It looks like it will have a Milgauss green crystal but from this picture the 6 looks like it sticks out rather than is depressed like the Sub. Could it be like the YachtMaster?

Ok so for sure the bezel is black because the numbers are lighter in color. Normally they’re black when it’s on steel. I’m almost wondering if it’ll be a white or black face but green glass like the milguass. Hence the aurora borealis effect in the vid.

Underline is Twin lock. Standard on exp II

3 dots would be the bulkier triplock...more water protection but would be exposed beyond the crown guards and could increase the instances of damage by the cave walls while exploring, if you will :)

i dont think rolex care about durability while exploring if they are using ceramic bezel on the new explorer II.

White dial with black ceramic bezel inlay and steel border would be awesome. Keep the orange GMT and perhaps do one with a green GMT as an anniversary edition. Ftw!!
