WHY THIS WATCH
These 5 digit Rolex references continue to go up as more collectors are seeing the appeal of the older models and the better price points. Released in 1989, the reference 16570 replaced the 16550. The 16570 received an updated movement, the calibre 3185 (and later the 3186). These movements are watchmaker's dream as they remain very accurate and reliable, and are a breeze to service compared to other calibres.
The Explorer II has remained very undervalued compared to it's Submariner and GMT brothers. If you're looking for a Rolex GMT that has more of an old-school tilt, this watch may fit the bill.
