A great review as always Jody. I just picked up this exact watch a few weeks ago and I love it. I went to a local AD to look at a pre owned one and they said they had a new one in their safe that another customer had ordered, but once it came in had decided to buy something else, so I jumped at the chance and bought it. To answer you question, yes the indices are white gold covered in black. I have a 7 1/2” wrist so the size is no problem for me. I absolutely love the legibility of the dial and how the white really pops, plus the GMT hand is definitely unique. Overall it is really an amazing and often overlooked Rolex. Thanks again for the wonderful review. As for a Mr. X SOTC, definitely do it, I think everyone would love to see it. Keep the great work Jody.

The original Explorer design is my favorite, but your video has the Explorer II growing on me. A 42mm is perfect for me, though the effective lug-to-lug is pushing it. I have some 44mm watches with 50-51mm lug-to-lug that work, but any bigger and they wouldn't fit my 7.25" wrist perfectly. Those timegrapher results are a thing of beauty.

The explorer 2 is a very nice watch and the size is good. 40 is too small. The only reason it doesn't wear well on a tiny wrist is because Rolex don't know how to design a case that hugs the wrist. The case is like a gondola that doesn't curve at the lugs and the bracelet does not drop as it should. Have a look at the Longines Conquest for example with its curved lugs and bracelet which drops straight down over the wrist. This oyster tapers way too far as well to a child size clasp which makes me sick too. That aside it is a very nice piece

Hm. You are not the first on KZbin who is not thrilled with Sub and now with the Explorer when you get chance to try it. Few days ago, in a local Rolex and Tudor store, I saw that white Explorer right next to the Yachtmaster 40 (for which I thought that is my dream Rolex) and it really looks great (also Tudor Black Bays). I realized that my dream Rolex would be Polar Explorer with Yachtmaster rotating bezel😏. But, since this watches are out of my price range, I bought me that same day Citizen Promaster Marine automatic in black PVD case. Summer is coming😀.

Beautiful to look at, accuracy beyond all others and just enough complication to be interesting without being obnoxious. As to the size, I agree with you regarding size and I only own 3 watches 42mm or larger. But this is a Rolex! And if they say that the style suits 42mm then who am I to argue? This watch is a complete fantasy for me, but I see it as the pinnacle that other Watch companies must continue to strive to meet. Great review. Thank you, Mr X for the chance to see this Beauty.
