Seems like as good a place as any to ask the following:
How does the 216570 wear? Does it feel smaller than its diameter like some other Rolex models? How would it compare in size and feel to, say, a Speedmaster Pro or Ceramic Diver 300m, or a Black Bay? (I'd go to an AD to see for myself, but you all know why that's not happening any time soon.)

It wears flatter and a lot wider than a Speedy or SMP. It’s the same diameter as the 2201.50 PO, but looks a lot bigger on my wrist.

I picked up my first Explorer II yesterday. Polar variant. I couldn't be happier!

Anyone else out there loving the modern Explorer II's?

I'll start:

Looks like a well worn watch to me!

My favorite sports line model!

Tried to trade a new pepsi for this. Hard to find even with the money..

Great watch and a little stealthy as to Rolex.
