Can any bro clarify if explorer II 216570 has any etched clown at the 6 o'clock position on the sapphire crystal cos I can't seem to find mine on it. Thank-you for your input.

Explorer II 16570-3186

There is one final reason that the Rolex Explorer II 16570-3186 is significant to Rolex history (and therefore collectors).* With the introduction of the 216570 Explorer II, and the discontinuation of the 16570 Explorer II, so ends the era of the five digit model sports watches from Rolex which began in the late 1980’s.* Much like vintage era Rolex enthusiasts who don’t care for any Rolex that doesn’t have a plexiglass crystal, many of us out there “grew up” on the five-digit sport models and haven’t quite yet warmed to the thicker lugs and ceramic (sorry,Cerechrom) bezels.* The six-digit model number Rolexes represent the new status quo for Rolex – innovation and progress to be certain.* Perhaps some day I’ll jump on the six-digit band wagon (Rolex producing a proper red and blue bezel Cerachrom GMT Master II would be a great place to start).* Until then, I’m quite happy to hold the five-digit sport model torch.

Hi, im 23 and thinking of getting my first rolex after selling my tag. Looking at pre own as its cheaper and easier to appreciate. Looking at rolex explorer 2 polar. Is it a good idea? For investment purpose as well.
Looking at 8 to 12 years. Going ard price is 6.2k. Is that a lot for this watch. Thanks
