Explorer 2 and Milgauss on Rubber B - Summer time!

Hello all!

I recently swapped a white rubber B onto my white dial Milgauss - I opted for the buckle strap. Its a nice change-up since I have the oyster clasp on the orange one for the Explorer 2.

Needless to say, quality is top-notch as per usual, wanted to share some photos with everyone! Enjoy! Summer is here!

The white Milgauss looks great on the rubber strap

Wow, nice! I don't normally like either of these models on straps (particularly rubber), but somehow your combination actually works.

They both look great....that Milgauss really pops on the white Rubber.

Beautiful - agree with Jamie, it would interesting to see the Milgauss with the orange strap.

I have been tempted to get the orange for my Explorer.

The polar explorer II on the orange band makes me smile. It flies straight in the face of what makes Rolex a "serious" watch and yet it looks remarkably good. Enjoy!

I like them. You have reminded me that I should have bought the white Milgauss when the AD had one.

I dig the white Milgauss on rubber more than I thought I would. That's a modern reference I would own.
