Review : Explorer II 42mm 216570 Black 904L SS GMF

[inuchan]

LOOKING : at First, the name of the watch is "Explorer II 42mm 216570 Black 904L SS GMF" so, I wanted to know how to change the hands because I noticed that QC PIC's of watch had hands with no black part. But the watch arrived was not 216570, but 226570 probably. An Hour hand, a minute hand, and second hand are stainless silver with Luminas parts (you will see not silver, but black because of a reflection of a lighting.). You can see the crown between SWISS and MADE.
INSIDE : The movement was a clone 3285 Automatic GMT movement MAYBE SA3285 (Correct Hand Stack) . I love this movement now because the GMT function works well and the adjusting method of hour hand is same as gen.
BACKSIDE AND CLASP : I am sorry but I'm not a rolex-holic so I don't know it's fine, or crap. comments are welcome.

Looking at the movement, it looks nicer than an SA3285. The SA typically has bare metal teeth on the red gears.

I heard all the new Explorer II's are now using VR3186 movements, both for BPF and GMF. The VR3186 is more reliable and works like gen, too.

The watch looks good!
