Here’s my favorite article describing all of the variations of the Explorer II:

Long story short… If you want vintage/patina, go with the earliest tritium dial ones. If you want rareness, go with the transitional, “Swiss only” dial model that was only made for two years. If you want the most modern movement, best lume, no-holes/SEL, etc., go for the final version made after 2005/2006.

Regardless, you can’t go wrong. They’re all great!
