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 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

I paid $3300 for my 1994 S serial 16570 polar I picked up in Aug 2016. It was fitted with the optional Submariner bracelet which is also date stamped the same year. At that time, they were still the least popular sports model as I suppose they still are now however I just checked prices today and they are about $2,000 US higher.

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😀.

The 42mm case is big but that makes the tapered bracelet seem even smaller. I think these look better on a leather strap. The bracelet shouldn't taper and honestly should be 22mm width in my opinion. I'd put it on a dark brown leather strap with white stitching and it would be perfect. Personally I prefer the older 40mm case though. +0 and +1 sec / day is damn impressive for a mechanical watch. That's part of the reason why you pay what you pay. They are quality although I feel a lot of it it still marketing hype.
