Kop before current models MSRP increase and GST.

[attachmentid=4358455]

First thoughts: Understated, less bulk and in a way more subtle and refined than the current ceramic bezel models. Fine example of the tool watches Rolex is known for. I can see this as my everyday watch while the GMT2 will be out for more special occasions.

Definately more understated and fits better. Wear it in good health.

Beautiful! Just copped my 216570 yesterday in Polar white, and I must say I have the same comments and sentiments. My bros got the Submariner and GMT Master II together with me, and the Explorer II somehow just stands out more. My hunt for the strap continues...

My thoughts were for the 16570 Exp2 (bought pre-owned). The new version is larger case (2mm), topping the Sub/GMT2 so not really sure if it's as subtle as the old model. Nonetheless, it has a striking dial indeed. If I remember correctly only 3 models come in white dials: Exp2, Milgauss and Daytona.

Enjoy your polar!

Not my style of watches, but man that movement is in-house! Tudor is going to give a serious run for the money now.

And they also announced a Blue dial/bezel Pelagos with their new in house movement, and the Black Pelagos will also be updated with the new movements! With no price increase!

Down side is, 5 rows of text on the dial instead of 2 on the ETA version.

Pelagos on dial is unnecessary. That's like tattooing your name on your forehead.

Rotor self winding should be removed as well.

looks like no one also noticed the 2015 pelagos has lost the lume at 3.
