The Explo II White is a great watch. Not to be under estimated.

Explorer Roll Call....16550, 1655, 6610, Black-Out 14270
By: Baron - Mr Red : February 17th, 2014-09:55
Haven't done one of these for ages.....modern, vintage, explorer 1 or explorer 2..... whatever you have...let me have it! Modern (ish) ... the 16550 Panna. Produced for only a short period and with its quirk (faulty) dial paint! Vintage....first generatio...

Welcome back. Haven't seen you here for a while. I don't remember that Explorer?
Hey Joe!

I post here and there and from time to time so haven't been totally absent! Things are pretty quiet on the watch front...but that's because I'm on the brink of the new front: Paris. Many pleasures to discover here (this includes Nico) ;) Still, the watch ...

Abel - a superb selection
By: Baron - Mr Red : February 17th, 2014-12:41
It is fascinating how one turns into two. And before you know it, three and more! I know the Subs and GMTs get all the limelight, but the Explorer is the unsung hero of the Rolex references , I think.
Thank you so much Joe! Yes, Explorers are watches to love!...

... I always woder what could happen if Connery had used an Explorer 1016 like author Flemming in first Bond pictures! Well... anyway, I´m specially fond of old Explorers 1. By the other hand, I´m looking after a "Pana" version. I wish that one so much! C...

.....the trouble with them is that so many get called "Panna" but actually so few really qualify as such..... rail dial, date etc.
