Very nice review again. I think it's totally fair that you just don't like how this size wears on you. The 226570 is the successor to the 216570. They changed a few things such as the movement, the hour and minute hands now lacking that small black lacquered part at the base and the case being reworked so it wears better. The white dial is the 226570-0001 and the black one the 226570-0002.
Ah I see! Thanks for the heads up, my friend! When I was doing my research, 216570 was pictured white and the 226570 was pictured black...I inferred the wrong idea from that 🤣 Hope you're keeping well!
The older Explorer 2 ‘s the 24 hr hand could not be set independently. Modern ones use the same movements as the GMTs hence the jumping hour which is far more functional.
The black version is also more available due to the higher popularity of the polar. I like both. One aspect might be the sort of "disappearing" date window on the white version
I have a 7 inch wrist and it looks perfect on me. I love it so much. But it’s definitely not for a smaller wrist, looks bad in this review. Great vid though!
If you are on a type 20 kick, you should try to ask airin and hanhart for Review pieces. I would love it. French used hanhart plans and machineries for their wartime chronos as basis for the type 20 as a war reparation cost. Dodane and Auricoste are even more expensive and probably as close as vintage ones you can go. Breguet is another league by itself. Sinn and guinand have modern chrono of that style as long as the longines big eye. Mathey tissot used to build breguets type 20 under contract to jack up production numbers for breguet back in the day btw.
@@engineer_wannabe for some weird reason my comment was posted on your video instead if another one in my playlist that was before yours! Wish you a pleasant day!!
one can also use the GMT hand as a compass (points north when you have it set for local time, point the hour hand to the sun and are in the northern hemisphere) -- I have the 16570 and it’s the one for you, bro
Great video Sanjay...look forward to your Moser review as it appears to be in the lead for votes right now...I think that'll be more up your alley. Cheers!
I have the same wrist size and I'm gonna use this vid as a data point for ~50mm lug to lug watches on 6 inch wrists. I got to try the new sumo solar gmt and it actually fit me even on bracelet. Looked kinda big on me(?) so idk if I should commit.
Great review and love your channel. This is one of my favourite Rolex models because of the orange hour hand. The 226570 is too large for me but maybe someday it will go back to 40mm.
216570 vs 226570 has nothing to do with the dial color. Those are the references for the older and newer versions of the Exp II. Both references come in black and white dials.
Thanks so much, my friend! Yeah! The longer I’m in the hobby, the more I begin to appreciate the effort it take to design watch that can fit a variety of wrist sizes
Don’t bother to buy Tudor especially the smaller size. You will suffer when you want to sell it and move on . Either insulting offers, tons of stupid questions and disappear afterwards
