I have a small wrist. My clean 16520 daytona is basically perfect for wearability, does the explorer ii wear noticably larger? I'm considering a GMT since the listed dimensions are a bit smaller but I aesthetically I prefer the explorer.
An explorer is way larger than a dayona.
I have a 6.75" wrist and I find it too large and uncomfortable to wear with a bracelet.
I wear mine on a Nato.
You should go to the shop and try one before placing an order.

The Explorer 2 wears larger than even the GMT and Submariner line, which are both bigger than the Daytona. It's probably the largest Rolex model that's available right now (not counting the discontinued Yachtmaster 2)

Found this video on Bilibili.

It looks like that he have a dial with a correct E.
Maybe someone have a account and can check this. I can only watch this video in a low resolution.

that looks much better!

Do not believe this video. I think it's video artifacting. Every single QC I've seen for Explorer 2 has the E. So I don't think we should promote the "rumor" that there's an updated E dial. It will lead to mass RL rejections for something that doesn't exist.

CTime just posted a new batch on Reddit and it has the same issue, unfortunately I think you are correct.

Don't reply to this message, but please note that one more comment here relating to your unsuccessful backdoor deal, will be your last on this thread.
You both circumvented the rules - so end of discussion.

And @pete195 - Please don't threaten another member, any more behaviour like that and it won't be just a warning!
