This is not a watch for the crowd. This is the **Rolex Explorer II, Reference 216570,** featuring the stunning **Polar White dial** and the signature orange 24-hour hand. While the world chases models defined by diving depth or polished flash, this is the one designed for pure, relentless utility—the biggest, most complex, and arguably most **honest tool watch** Rolex makes. This model is the undisputed **undervalued gem** of the entire Rolex family. Its biggest competition isn't the **Omega Seamaster** or the **Breitling Avenger**; it's the over-hyped siblings sitting in the vault back in **Geneva.** **The Explorer II: Feature-by-Feature Dominance** This watch delivers maximum utility and superior engineering compared to both its own siblings and the external competition—all while trading at a fraction of their secondary market premium. * **The True Traveler's GMT (Calibre 3187):** This movement is the core differentiator. It uses a **jumping local hour hand** (a true Traveler's GMT), allowing you to change time zones without stopping the watch. The **Submariner** and **Explorer I** lack this complication entirely, while many external luxury GMTs from **Breitling** and **TAG Heuer** use the functionally inferior "Caller's GMT" (where the 24-hour hand moves). The Explorer II is built for perpetual, accurate global travel. * **The Fixed 24-Hour Bezel:** While most models (like the **GMT-Master II** or **Omega Seamaster**) rely on easily scratched ceramic or rotating bezels for timing or reading a third time zone, the Explorer II features a **rugged, fixed steel bezel**. This fixed bezel makes the watch far more impervious to damage than any ceramic option, reinforcing its status as a pure tool, and providing an instant, clear reference for the second time zone that is simply better for actual exploration. * **The Max-Contrast Polar Dial & 42mm Stance:** The high-contrast **Polar White dial** with black surrounding the indices offers unparalleled legibility—a functional superiority that dwarfs the elegance of the **Datejust**. The 42mm case is large enough to host the advanced 3187 movement and the shock absorbers, yet it avoids the gratuitous bulk of some external competitors. This size is the optimal balance of presence and engineered comfort. **The Pricing & Condition: The Undervalued Edge** The market has this wrong. For a complete set Rolex Professional model, the Explorer II offers the best bang-for-the-buck. This **216570** is the anomaly—a high-function Rolex still accessible to the sharp buyer. * **Price:** **$9,300** (Shipped & Insured CONUS) * **Condition:** **Excellent** pre-owned condition. Never polished under my ownership, retaining its sharp factory case lines. Shows only honest, light wear—exactly what you want to see on a true tool watch. * **Included:** The complete set: Watch, Original **Rolex Inner and Outer Box**, Original Rolex Warranty Card (Dated **August 25, 2017**), Booklets, Hang Tags, and additional link. **Payment:** Wire, Zelle, & Crypto. Insured FedEx/UPS shipping on me. DM me for photos. Stop chasing the hype. Buy the best value Rolex on the market.
