If I am not wrong, there's some background to this particular model. Somehow it is considered to be some error production by Rolex and it's extremely rare now thus very collectible.

It shows how popular the sub is.....haha

i KNOW La...but dun do it here...i placed a Submariner thread for a reason mah

But amongst the explorer series, Explorer 1 tend to be 'sidelined' to Explorer II, although latter is more lao jiao and offers great heritage.

Of course. Exp I and Exp II are completely different watches. Can't compare them together

Both Explorer series and Submariner series have their own legacy. Each series tell a long long heritage and story. One day one night also not enough.
One raced to conquer the altitude while the other sinked to the deeper depths.

I love the look of 1016
