Cannot decide new(42mm) or old(40mm) Explorer II

[philoso]

Prefer the 42mm explorer 2.

Dont you guys think its so strange that an explorer 2 is 40mm so is a sub and a GMT master

But the explorer 2 look so much smaller

[takuyazzz]

I have a small wrist, tried the 42mm before and sadly the lugs overhang. So I concluded that I can only go for 40mm rollies.

I'd say it really depends on your wrist size.
Small wrist - 40mm
Big wrist - 42mm

Just got myself a 42mm black, nice, looked much better on my medium size wrist compared to my other 40mm black explorer 2.

New model bigger and blue illum.

I have the same dilemma. Love the old Exp 2 but leaning towards the new with the orange hand and new clasp.

[lolex kia]

I go for the newer and bigger Explorer II, with a white dial to augment the size

[leoric79]

40mm for vintage and the 'original' Exp feel.....................42mm for the trendy and more 'modern' feel

They opened up my eyes n brains...

Scrambled for a white 16570 to complement my gmt2 coke.

Really lovely to finally have her on my wrist..

The white dial does break the monotony of the common black..
It is indeed quite refreshing to see a white dial on my wrist.

N i cannot ever settle for 42mm as my wrist is considerably small, almost skeleton-like w skin... Hahahaha!

Then again, whatever those 2 says should not matter much cos at the end of the day, it's your money, ur wrist, ur satisfaction...

The newer exp 2 gives a chunkier look. ��

personally I actually prefer the big fat hands... so much easier to tell time under dim lighting...

Now my DSSD seems to have too small a hand.. :P

but that's just me

[Derick]

Size 42mm is ok for me.

But I just don`t like the big fat minute and hour hands cos is not proportional.

Espicially the triangle big orange GMT hand. (Orange triangle means: Danger / Warning / Caution)

Take a closer look at 40mm, all hands, nipple and baton match better than 42mm.

If small wrist then better not go for the e2 42 cos it doesn't look proportional. The watch is nice if it has a 40 version for smaller wrist people. Just my 2c.

New 42 mm nicer in my humble opinion
