I am a big fan of white dial watches and after reading a review and seeing a video on the Rolex Explorer II 216570, the salivary output in my mouth quadrupled!  This is a beautiful watch and at 42mm, is now officially added to my top three to purchase.

Here is the review:

Here is the video:




Here is the borrowed picture from the review above:



I hope the 216570 will join my other white dial watches below:b.

They new EII is starting to come up on the sales forums...pricing is still a little high at $7500 - $8000, but it will come down a little.


I am looking at GMT Master IIs personally...fingers crossed, I'll have it by summer.

A worthy grail....I have the slightly smaller older version, but I saved $4.5K off the price of a new one.....you will love it, when you get it...

You are right, very nice. At 42mm, something I would wear as well, as that is my personal lowest I like to go to, but would fit nice in my opinion.
I love how white that dial is and how the markers still jump off the dial as well.
Now, where is that extra $7500....oh wait, yeah, I dont have $7500...LOL...

Great piece Gerald, hope you can get one soon.

Now that the drooling slowed a bit, I just realized that I forgot my Florida Gator watch:t.

Yeah and ADs do not budge from the retail prices either.  It was easy when I only had two grails on the list, but this 3rd one threw me off balance.  Oh well....

You will probably get your GMT Master II before I get this one though.

How much lower do you think the price will be?  ...and when?  Are you talking about a new one or pre owned?

New. I have seen one in the mid$6k range too.

That's good to know, especially since I have to start at zero due to a recent purchase:WW....but that's okay:c.
