Black Face = Submariner
White Face = Explorer
It's a cool watch. But I would buy one used. They don't hold their value quite as well as Subs and there are some good deals out there from reputable used dealers like Paul Duggan.

Be careful with the dust.Originally Posted by Roaster
+1 On Dust Caution.
Man, I can't see a rolex without thinking about Manouche and that stupid dust.
I wanted a black seadweller, but don't think I could ever get one now.
Damnit Manouche.

yes, i am serious. I know how dust sits on other surfaces...like on the paint of a car, but I don't know what it will be like on the dial of a watch

Always thought the Explorer II was pretty lifeless looking...any specific reason for wanting this model?Originally Posted by micbain
I am not sure why this model. I guess it is slightly lower in price, and not as "Rolex" looking as the others. I do like what the company has style-wise, but I also dislike that everyone thinks it is just a status symbol. I thought the same thing until I read up on how Rolex operates as a brand. I like that they change their pieces slowly.
