dotcomakazee · 2 June 2011, 06:17 AM

Been out of the loop for a while!!! Did I see 42MM!!! *mouth watering*

Rebel · 2 June 2011, 06:33 AM

42 mm will not work with my small wrists. But, it is a beauty.

jessiethe3rd · 19 July 2011, 06:00 AM

I'll take that in white. That is a good looking watch.

miller1624 · 11 August 2011, 06:43 AM

I think this is awesome. I never really cared for the Explorer II but this is one I will eventually own!

I love the fact that Rolex is finally making man sized watches. Love the new Explorer 2. For everyone crying about the size maybe you should go back to the 32MM swatch.

The 40mm size is plenty big already....too big and they start to look kind of stupid. I myself do not really like the new supercase with the EXPII; the lugs are too big.

What?

The new Explorer II doesn't have a 'supercase' like the GMT IIC and Sub C have... and the lugs are perfectly proportioned

I can't believe that I think I like this new version even better than the vintage orange-hands. And I just love the orange writing on the dial.

I am very excited about this watch. Definitely polar version for me. Its interesting how definitive everyone is about either the white or black face. (Much like cilantro, people either love it or hate it, no in between) I think the white really allows the hands to jump out and gives excellent visibility and orange is one of my favorite colors.
I just got off the phone with Rolex USA in New York, they said that the watch is not in production yet and they anticipate it hitting the US AD's at end of September. tick, tick, tick....

jeffrb · 8 September 2011, 10:17 AM

Does anybody have any info about when this model would be available @ the ADs?

william21 · 12 October 2011, 08:09 AM

WOW, great pictures. Really liking it a lot!

blaymore27 · 13 October 2011, 07:22 AM

How much? Anyone know? Ballpark estimates anyone? 8kish?

Grey.Coupe · 23 January 2012, 11:55 AM

As to size, I've worn mine for a couple weeks now, and you really don't notice it's larger until you go back and forth between watches. You notice that the sub is a bit smaller, but the next day it looks "normal" like the new Explorer does after you've worn it a few hours.

Holy thread revival!

reebok · 22 November 2012, 12:08 PM

Went into the ad to buy a djII.

Tried on the white expII, and cant get it out of my head.
