One thing with the Explorer II is I think the brushed steel bezel looks better than the cerachrom ones.
The current one is too big for me, but that’s me.
I reckon anyone in the market for an Explorer II should be checking out the GS series 9 titanium spring drive GMTs. They are better designed and better finished, and you can actually buy one. They're also a bit big for me but no bigger than an E2. The bracelet is really the only thing the Rolex has in its favour, objectively at least.

I do like those GS, but i've got some weird aversion to a sports watch being shiny. To big up the Exp 2, it's 1.4m (ie 10%) thinner and sits flat, so no cuff issues. It's also effectively anti-mag and i suspect has better anti-shock too. It's deffo more a tool vibe, but that's why i liked it against the cerachrom crew. Come on @Dammit @ChainBreaker - come join the darkside :)

Its so weird, but im the same. Originally i didnt like it, but its grown on me and im not sure why. I dont know if its cause i cant stand the Rolex distribution/ sales issue so now willing to look at it, or if its cause im drawn to the ugly duckling, or if it looks more tool watch... It annoys me that i am, I feel betrayed by my feelings.
