Explorer 2

[Jbnh1973]

Hello everyone. There seems to be a huge amount of information out there and would welcome any guidance towards who supplies the best Rolex explorer 2. Money not an issue. Thanks in advance.

I’d suggest you start with a search for the reference number you’re interested in. The simple questions aren’t as fun for the members here to answer

this is the newest one, not necessarily the best. You'd better off be gettin the black dial as the indices on the white dial gen are so hard to replicate.

I was also wondering about the same thing. Who makes the best white Explorer 2? Is the newest JF the best, or the previous Noob better?

That would be my question, too...

I'm interested too. What confuses me is that the Noob edition obviously has silver indices instead of black.

Hi, in a few days i'll be getting QC images for the new Polar JF version. I'll post them so you can see how close is this version to the gen or how it compares to the noob version (hopefully better!).
Regards.

Do anybody have any experience with those reps of the Exp II? Do you recommend? Or are there any 40mm Reps of this watch? That would be my favorite. Thanks a lot!

I think the JF 216570 is the best version at the moment. What do you guys think?

 

[stampsatit]

If you like EX2 but not sooo much I think you should buy other Rolex model like submariner, Daytona
but that just my opinion

I'm so torn between the Noob (correct handstack) and the JF v3. The jf has the best DW and cyclops I've ever seen

 

[farcast]

Do all Noob 216570 with the correct hand stack have a misaligned DW? Really want one but I'm worried that it might be a defect

Hey Guys,

I asked Intime which watch they would recommend (which one comes closer to the gen, which would they generally recommend).
The answer:
Intimate recommends the JF.
It just confuses me even more...

The JF version has grey indices at 6, 9 & 12. It really throws me off and looks super weird. I’ve seen noob versions that looked amazing, I’ve just heard the movement isn’t reliable but that could have been fixed

There are other threads here about the new JF polar. Dealbreaker issue for me is the bezel engraving. The 8 is upside down (can be overlooked) but the 12 is crooked. The bottom right of the 2 slants downward. Just unacceptable sloppiness to allow batches of these to be made, purchased and used.

Doesn't look gray to me?!
