actually I talk to Andrew from the Trusty Time he told that this watch was sold out and they no longer made it, he just hasn't update the site to remove them.

I was very interested in that one from TS watch but I ask them for any recent pictures with better angles of the watch but I they wanted money before any pictures and that’s a little bit crazy because they do supply QC for other watches already on the site but yeah know looking to the GMF gmt batgirl but still have this explorer in mind but just need to look at photo or two of the explorer TS Watch is selling

The ones on TS watch are poor quality. Look closely at the bezels. Also on the white one the hands and hour markers are silver, should be black.

Do not buy from TS watch. They are not a TD. Once your item ships they are done wiith you, broken, lost, stolen, seized, whatever it's your baby. You can a link from TSW to your TD and ask if they can get it.

BP sold the last ones about a year ago but they did a hatchet job on the SELS. Complete garage. With a replacement bracelet it's a good watch. You'll just have to look on M2M

Did you get this Explorer from TS-Station?

He's not the one who posted the 16570, I am and no it not come from TSWatch, theirs are junk and their polar ones have silver hands and hour markers (never in gen).

The predecessor to the 16570 was the 16550- it came out in the 80s after the 1655. It did have silver hands and the same white Explorer II dial which was prone to turning to cream color. Those had the 3075 movement in them, were on a 93150 bracelet and are pretty pricey these days. Alas, I doubt you can find a rep of that watch either. It's a fine watch and I'd love to have a rep of it, but they're gone.

Interesting article, late model 16550s got the 16570 black hands and marker surrounds.

" You can send a link from TSW to your TD and ask if they can get" I am new here, so I don't understand what you mean.

Interesting articles KJ. The movement in the 16550 is the 3085- missed it by one digit.
