Explorer 2 White vs GMT 2 BLNR
Discussion
Gents,
I'm having trouble deciding so need some opinions here! Love both of them. Was after something a little special (my first Rolex after all) but can't help but feel the BLNR is way more common than the Explorer 2 and so looses its edge...
Anyway, would love to hear from folk who may have had experience of either/both.
Cheers,
Noman

Thanks guys. That pic Alex L is stunning! How are the polished links bearing up? I prefer a matt finish look as scratches don't show up so easily.
Apart from the clasp the polished links are pretty much scratch free. Initially I wasn't keen on the polished centres compared to my Pepsi GMT2 but they've grown on me.nomank said:

Prince Harry wears the White face 42mm Explorer very well. I think it's a great looking watch, however, they are not very popular and do not well quickly on the second-hand market.I'm having trouble deciding so need some opinions here! Love both of them.

Get the BLNR, IMHO it's a nicer looking watch than the Explorer II. I am biased as my wife has has a BLNR for 18 months. I'm having trouble deciding so need some opinions here! Love both of them.

The clasp on mine is pretty messy after a few months. The rest of the bracelet is better but still a few scratches.It bothers me slightly but when it gets bad enough I'll polish the worst out of the bracelet (but not clasp) with a cape cod cloth, and leave the rest for its first service when they'll return it as good as new.
