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

[kenairs]

imho, i find that the maxi dial on the 42mm explorer abit weird and abit too large; however the maxi dial on those 116610 is perfectly fine.

not sure if you guys feel it too..

Explorer 2 42mm in white will be gd. Having a clean look plus something different as most of the model is in black.

the 39mm explorer look much much cleaner and classy...214270

New 42 mm nicer in my humble opinion

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.

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.

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

The newer exp 2 gives a chunkier look. ��

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...

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

[lolex kia]

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

[mild7]

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

[tsneo888]

New model bigger and blue illum.

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

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