boneyjr 1 Posted October 26, 2012 So for whatever reason, last week I became obsessed with purchasing a white face explorer II. In the course of two days I purchased a 2813 and an A2836 with superlume. As fate would have it, they were delivered on the same day, and I haven't taken the 2836 off yet. After first washing the bracelet in jewelry cleaner, then soaking it in baby oil and hitting it with a cape cod cloth, I decided to have a little photo shoot. Below are the results. Oh, and the absolutely unworn 2813 will be up for sale shortly. Keep your eyes open! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baxter 6 Posted October 26, 2012 Nice watch !! Got the same one and love it - an under appreciated Rolex in my view. I'm going for the black face older version next i think - enjoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boneyjr 1 Posted October 26, 2012 Thanks! The white face and orange GMT hand gives it a very clean, distinct look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigBuys 0 Posted October 26, 2012 Great photography and great photo review! I fell in love with it so much that I bought the black version also. They are so comfortable that they are winning out on wrist time over the PAMs, and of course, all the others. Photo reviews like this one will make buyers out of viewers.

Luthier 1 Posted October 26, 2012 Nice watch, but the crown is angled, and freaking triangle still misaligned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1littlegreen 1 Posted October 26, 2012 Nice pics!! Much better than my poo on the lens Great choice as the Explorer II has been under-rated for so long, always the bridesmaid to the Sub/DSSD. Kev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boneyjr 1 Posted October 26, 2012 Nice watch, but the crown is angled, and freaking triangle still misaligned. You can get a good, also no color difference hands and markers. Great review boneyjr! Mine on jeans I am not really noticing anything being misaligned. However, the differnce between the color of the hands and markers does annoy me a bit.

1littlegreen 1 Posted October 26, 2012 Which version did you get? I have a 42PO Factory and I have none of the issues Luth sees in yours. Maybe I have a different batch. My lume is even for shade and glow, and the crown/rehaut/triangle is centered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Electron17 0 Posted October 26, 2012 Great watch and fantastic pictures. Well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted October 26, 2012 Look on second from the top picture, it's visible. Not a big deal, tho... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sardonix 1 Posted October 26, 2012 I am not really noticing anything being misaligned. However, the differnce between the color of the hands and markers does annoy me a bit. Your triangle coronet is a very very litlle not centered. Guess i am lucky to get one perfect centered Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boneyjr 1 Posted October 26, 2012 the degree of 'off-centeredness' is so minimal that I could really care less. It's only the lume difference that bothers me at all. Could that be fixed by having a mod re-lume it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boneyjr 1 Posted November 12, 2012 the baby oil loosens up and dirt and grime inside these bracelets for an easy clean. A damn eggroll fell out last time i cleaned it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
