You need a 1655

Yeah of course, I heard its 127gms vs 157gms ( full links ) You can see the case is much bigger across and also its thicker. Links are solid as well. 16570 is more comfortable since its lighter, but 216570 has the super solid presence !!

My view, for those with larger wrists, a case size of 42mm and above is the better fit.
Thats the main reason why I chose the new Exp 2 over the SubC and GMT2c.

My personal view only....

Used to be able to tell... but they switched to alpha-numeric (AN) and it is quite impossible now

I think not can be cheaper.

Hi people I check the cert of my watch and it is bought in 1996. Recently one of my friend who owns a few rolex told me that there is this transparent crown that can be located at the 6 o clock position. I've tried locating but in vain. I read online that this transparent crown is only available for watches manufactured 2002 onwards. Is it true?

Finally got myself a used 16570 exp ii , always thought i wanted a 14270 , after all growing up in the 90s and watching Takuya Kimura in Love Generation wear that classic piece exp i,

but turns out my wrist look super big or rather fat when wearing the 36mm 14270, so tried the 16570 and decided that the sports version suited me more.

Maybe i will one day own the 14270 ...
