Hi Guys. I am new to this forum. I just joined a few days ago.
I am so delighted to learn tons of invaluable information in this site.

I am planning to purchase a Rolex Explorer 2, 216570, BLACK Dial.

To all our respectable Experts here & to those who have already purchased the Black Dial watch in the past, please Help me choose the BEST ( in terms of Aesthetics, Movement & Lumes ) among the following:


1.) NOOB 1:1 Best Edition Black Dial - A3187 - 316F SS - (Correct Hand Stack)

2.) NOOB Best Edition Black Dial - A2836 - 316F SS - (I think this is the Incorrect Hand Stack?)

3.) BP Best Edition Black Dial - A3187 - 316F SS

Your Comparative Analysis, your Insights and Advice will be highly appreciated.


THANK YOU VERY MUCH.


What is a "post whore"? (Literally, no idea). I'm new to this forum as well and this seemed like the exact question I was wanting to ask. Now I'm a bit afraid to. Spent alot of hours gathering info on this replica... actually, if I'd been working instead of researching I could have used the money I'd have made and just bought a real Rolex for MSRP.... but I digress.... I've wanted an Explorer II White for about 20 years and worn a genuine Explorer I for a decade. Had NO IDEA the world of replicas was this refined until recently. Specifically, to anyone that isn't offended by a post like the above, I'm interested in the GMF version. The prospective dealer I'm working with, Trustytime, is recommending that one based on my desires. Anyone have any experience or recommendations concerning the GMF factory model?

I am also curious what a post whore is. Also did you manage to finally get the GMF? Like you, I have spent the last week researching the Explorer 2. Settled on the noob but realised they are close. Seems like the GMF is the best now.
