This is long overdue, I had this watch for more than a month now and today I found some time to take photos. I've been "downsizing" lately, moving from 44mm watches back to smaller 40mm and below watches. As KBH said in one post about small watches, "you'll understand soon enough, young grasshopper", maybe age is finally catching up on my taste.

I had a 42mm white Explorer II before, didn't like it due to its big size. This one is perfect for my tiny wrist, it wears bigger than it's listed 39mm size though.

Some info about this watch, this is the new superlume rep Explorer II 16570 black dial with incorrect hand stack running Asian ETA clone. I got this from Trevor, my go-to TD at the moment.

I have only two photos for now, hope to add more in future. Enjoy!

Nice watch! I have been looking at this one ever since they began offering it with the superlume. How is the lume, by the way?

I've been looking at trevor's site but I don't see this one. Is this the same one that the other dealers are offering? May I ask what you paid for it?

This might be next on my list! Do you guys know how the white dial is, by the way? My first order of business was to replace my Explorer 1 and use Trevor for it, but maybe I will wait and then get both that one and this one at the same time. Bonus is I can save on shipping! Yeehaw! :)

I was just looking at Trevor's site. Is this the version with no rehaut engraving or the version with the engraving? He has 2 versions of the ultimate with black dial.
