“Last longer” 😂 love it mate! Great review video and that intro is so much better, showcasing the different details of the watch. Really well done, Tom! 👍🏻👍🏻

Love the Explorer ever since, the white dial is so amazing. Cool with the different perspective on how the watch suits your wrist! Most reviews are only hands-on and maybe wrist shots. Your shots give a good understanding how the watch will wear. I'm curious if there will be ever a new version of the 1655 which look much more technical. - Wear it in good health and accuracy! 🧡

Love hearing about the specs and the firsthand experience you have with it. Your close up shots of the dial and the brushing on the bezel are fantastic! I loved seeing the subtle shoutout to Morgan with his wristcheck of the 16570. Great video 🍣

I just picked up the old version just before the new release! It wasn't a watch I was very interested in. Now I have to say it's really growing on me!

Thank you for this amazing review. I am waiting for my call from the AD for my Explorer II

Great video. I just picked mine up from the AD two days ago. I am really pleased with it. I have a couple of overlanding rigs and do a ton of hiking and camping. I can’t really think of a better adventure watch!

The best video of 226570 on Yt. Well done. Concise, told in a good tone with a touch of humor, beautiful macro shots. Probably the only one who mentioned that the dial is lacquered. It suits you good too, wear it in a good health, I hope I ll get mine by the end of the year.

Oh my that editing 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Wish they kept the hands lacquered, that extra sheen makes it look better imo. Great camera work!

Just got the call from the AD for this today! Completes my Rolex trio!

Dear Bowl Of Salmon, I was amazed when I heard that you were careful when wearing your Speedmaster. I have bought mine Speedmaster in 2008, with the hesalite crystal as my sports watch. I mean that literally, I took mine road cycling, trekking biking, hiking, occasionally flying (with an ultralight airplane), traveling in any weather, in all seasons. I even crashed with it on my arm, with my road bike at about 50km/h (about 30mph) down an alpine pass. The watch took vibrations, shocks, dust, sweat, heat, cold, what have you. The only thing I did not do with it, was go swimming. The watch ran without any problems and after the last maintenance by Omega, it runs more accurately than ever, at less than 1s/d fast in average. So trust me, your Speedmaster is every bit as tough, reliable and long lasting as your Rolex, with the only exception of the reduced water resistance.

Great video and congratulations! Your photos for this watch in IG are also awesome!

This one and the explorer I will be my first and last rolex!! Very nice watch mate!!

Great video Salmon! Very cool learning about the adventures you’ve had & what this watch means to you.

I'm looking forward to mine, I hope to get it before Christmas

The polar dial more popular but I prefer like the black dial (the new version has white gold accents and high polished hands which really make it pop against the black dial). The white dial is more subtle and some people prefer the classic look.

The seconds hand at the start going counter clockwise when opening the box really freaked me out!

I love your content only just recently discovered your Instagram and KZfaq. I especially enjoy that you say it’s not a technical review then somehow manage to give a better summary of the brief history and specs than nearly every other watch channel. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that you will produce a similar video for your speed master 🤞

Really appreciate the body shots. So few reviews include that. Thanks!

Congratulations on the new piece. Great video, I'm subscribing

Epic shots of a stunner. Well done mate! Oh, and congrats again!

Everyone is getting calls but me. 😭😭😭 Cool video mate. 👌

Great watch! Congrats! I have the 216570. Love it.

Absolutely stunning! I also have a 16.5 cm wrist, but think it'll be too big. Man I wish they downsized it to 40mm like they did with the explorer 1 going back to 36mm.

Great to see you got yours 👍 I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine.

Thank you ever so much for your very detailed video on the Explorer II - I have put a request in to my AD and hopefully I will get it before my 50th birthday!!! This video only helps my love for having the Explorer II in the polar white dial!! It looks amazing!!

Amazing video! I love your macro shots

Really amazing review. And awesome shots of the watch

I’ll be picking mine up in a couple months and I can’t wait to wear it this summer

With 40+ years of wearing this brand, this particular model will be my next one.

Excellent video, I love the Polar! Just subbed 👍🏻

The Speedmaster is the toolwatch for US astronauts - proven to be sturdy enough for the Apollo missions to the moon and countless other NASA missions. I think it can take any beating a normal person would experience on earth.

Very nice watch excellent editing

Keep them coming! Amazing work and amazing watch

Brilliant review ! Just got mine yesterday as a birthday gift from my wife . Love it and I will wear it everyday from now on ( sorry to my speed-master ) ! But just not sure how often This explorer 2 needs to be serviced ?

Just stumbled upon your channel, great content and production value. Thanks for the effort you put into your videos. New subscriber right here! Just like you, I am always a bit cautious when wearing my Speedy, with its (beautiful) hesalite crystal or lack of (proper) water resistance. My Explorer 1 just gives me a peace of mind, that the speedy doesnt. Hope to add the Explorer 2 to my collection as well someday... Cheers again, Chris

Such a Beautiful watch. Nice video

Yes! Been so eagerly awaiting this one! Love the details and the specs and great to hear your ownership experience at the end too. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻

Seems extremely short-sighted for Rolex to not put the glidelock on their true tool/adventure watch. Of the entire collection, this one makes sense for having it the most since any activity will swell your wrists a bit. Gotta leave themselves something to add in 10 years. Everything else about the watch is great though.

I’ve found my wrist twin. I’m really thinking about going to my AD and beg on my knees. 😮

I have the Explorer 40. I would love the Explorer 2 for Travel and surfing 👍

Great review, and and while I just got the Tudor Black Bay Pro with a 39mm face this 42 with the white dial looks amazing! Maybe I should sell my Omega Seamaster for this.

Great video. I just got my 226570 Polar last week, and its quite nice. I think the proportions are much more in keeping with my 16570 Polar. The 216570 stuck me as out of proportion with the big lugs.

you're lucky, congrats! super edited video!

Nice vid 👍 I have that book also

U r super lucky to own one...currently no stocks in all retail. May i know where did u get yours??

Just the review i was looking for. Thank you.

Great watch!, I also prefer the white dial, the GMT is a useful complication, and compared to the Speedmaster this is swimmable.

Nice review

Awesome review! Thank you!

Great video. Really enjoyed it. The watch looks fantastic on wrist (including your wrist), at least on video. It's not too big for you.

Hi Tom, I just watched this video and enjoyed it very much. I am considering this watch and have a question. My wrist size is also 6.5 and wondered how precisely the Easy Link works for you. Are you able to get a fit that is comfortable as your wrist expands or contracts in very warm or cool weather? It looked like you have 4 links on the 6 and 5 links on the 12 which is the same way I wear the Submariner. Any thoughts on your bracelet fit would be appreciated . Stephen

Nice intro. Love ur Insta. Nice 2 c u venture into the tube.

Nice informative review

It's a stunner!! Congrats

Nicely done Tommo 🥃👊

Great review! Love the visuals

Great review!!! Just subbed 🍻

The Explorer is also another tool watch you could have made your journeys with.

i really wish they kept this in 40mm with the red gmt

3:49 also useful for when you are captured and imprisoned in a room without windows.

I need a 226570...

beautiful !! keep going

Man, now that I have a good enough purchase history with my AD to be sold a submariner date (just picked it up yesterday) but not good enough yet to get a gmt master II I believe I will get the explorer II just to scratch my itch of Rolex GMT, who knows, maybe I fall in love with it and forget about the batman/Pepsi.

Great video! The quality is outstanding. I’m surprised that you have a 6.5” wrist (that’s what I have as well), the watch looked much better than I expected. I’ve always avoided this watch as I just assumed it would be too big for me.

Nice everyday watch, looking for one now at the grey market price are dropping recently maybe it’s time to put my hand on it :)

Very good review and well presented.

Great video! Any chance of make a video comparing this Rolex with the CW C63 GMT?

Bowl of Salmon? Lol More like BOWL OF HUNK!!!

That's a great video man! Love your shots on IG.

with a loupe, do you notice that the hands aren’t 100% completely painted? almost look splatted paint on the sides…. Curious on your experience

Beautiful watch!

Congratulations, looks great 👍

Is this model have a Rolex stamp in the glass ???

Great review. Especially as I have a 6.75” wrist so the fit on you was key. Lagavulin? 🥃

A great watch and video 👏

Tom how much does the new explorer 2 weigh? Cant find any info on weight specs anywhere 🙈

How did you get your hands so fast on this piece?

Beautiful! What's the lug to lug?

Goks! 🔥

white or black dial is more desirable ?

Don’t get the 5mm ext, useless, put a micro adjustment on it like the SD43. If one is really exploring with this, then their wrist is going to swell a few mm, not 5mm. For this price, it should be a no brainer on every Rolex sports model bracelet. I use it all the time on my Pelagos. Cool video, and love this model as well.

What are the different between the 216570 and the 2021 model?

1816 on the neck? Must be Laphroaig you’re drinking! Nice!;)

Great video!

That's nice man

Beautiful watch, lol a lot of the talk comparing 216570 could be summarized by the bracelet is 22mm, everything else is identical, Sounded like a Rolex ad comparing "BIG CHANGES"

I wonder why the new model didn’t get a triplock crown like the GMTs.

Great video and great editing. But really not my watch brand.

Hi, kindly know what is weight of new explorer 2,,,?

Fantastic video! Fantastic watch! 👍⌚

Exactly what makes a tool watch? is the speedy a tool watch?

Now if I can find this for retail… 😐

When are going to see your face! Again, nice review

My grail… nice watch

Great review.

so is this your second explorer 2 bro? cus if its a 2021 you couldnt have got much exploring in with it yet

Good review!

Nice review 👍👏

Enjoy in good health
