My take on the world of watches.
The Rolex Explorer II Polar ref: 16570 (The Superbly Understated Rolex)
I've had the Rolex Explorer II for several months now so here I speak about how it came to be on my radar, why I bought it and what I think of it after owning it for a fair while.

Announced in 2019 this Omega Seamaster is made entirely of ceramic and titanium. With Omega having a selection of ceramic Speedmasters in their Dark Side Of The Moon collection, it was only a matter of time before the ceramic technology was moved into their Seamaster line. The ceramic Diver 300m is slightly larger than the regular stainless steel references at 43.5mm. It's a brave move by Omega...

Finally the Seamaster 300 has received its update. It was originally scheduled for release in March, 2020, but due to how the world was at that time Omega decided to hold off with the release. Following up on the leak video I did a few months back we can now see the new watch and all it's details in beautiful crisp photo and video. So was the leak accurate? Let's see.

Nice but try a brown suade leather strap
8900 all day long. Might be the perfect watch IMHO.
Great presentation SWG, appreciate the no nonsense honest humble funny overview, was nodding my head in agreement the whole time. Become quite a Rolex fan in the last year myself since having had issues with a virtually new Omega, which was always my main brand. I've added a few coronets to the small collection and in my experience it's true what is said about them, they're some of the best watches available, regardless of price, the quality palpable as soon as you have one in your hands. They are perfect machines and works of art all at once. I recently bought a 226570 black dial and would never have thought of getting a white dial watch. I saw one of these on a client though and it was so understated and elegant that it's become the next horological goal and looking for the right one now. Traveling with the larger black dial model, especially on the steel bracelet, made me a bit self conscious (bought it while on holiday in Europe). Now home in the US and having it on a great Zealande rubber strap, post customary matting of the shiny bits by a local watchmaker, and it's much more under the radar but still I think the 40mm polar model will be even more travel-able and understated (could be a Tag as far as most civilians would think). And it's true SWG, that cyclops that I never liked either, really gets lost against the white dial. Thanks again SWG for mirroring a lot of my thoughts as well as this little preoccupation:)
I’m convinced to buy this over the Rolex submariner now 😂 love the lume and the brown gives it a sleek look on the wrist
I found your contents by accident, appreciate all the details you put into the video. I'm looking for mine still and hope to find it one day.
Would this work with a black suit and darker colors in general? I'm searching for a watch I can wear with anything and on any occasion..
Thanks for posting, I enjoyed the video and your perspective. I also like an under the radar watch
How do i operate the crown to adjust the time?
The Spectre and Goldeneye ones are better.
what is the difference between a Co- aixial 3800,880 and the 3500?
What size is your wrist?
It’s about 6 3/4 inches.
Over priced. Considering a year old used one you can get for £5-£6k . Lovely watch but that’s too much money to throw away
Brought the 8900, love it, wear it every day. Imo, its a perfect time machine. Liked and subscribed. John
I love my liquid metal planet ocean. Great watch.
Agree on your point about pricing. It shouldn't be a 10k watch.
you were not missed - weirdo
Thumbs up for a thoughtful and well researched collection of three grail-worthy timepieces. Look forward to more like this.
bro, your toe looks badly bruised 😢. You ok?
2:31 it's not zero two. It's O2, as in oxygen. Is in zirconium dioxide. One zirconium atom to two oxygen atoms.
Better off to just save up for the straight GMT, which can do three time zones and far better appearance
I don’t need three time zones and the Explorer has a far nicer aesthetic in my opinion and suits my style or lack there of it. Thanks for your comment 👍🏻
Two very pedestrian watches.
Hide those metal bars on your nato
Let’s be honest. It is copy and a homage just like Steinhart, but I got no problem with that when the original is discontinued and/or sell for astronomical prices. Good review.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
No date, yet it is thicker than the standard ones? Cum on Omega, you guys should really up the ante. Thanks for the vid, man.
Great vid! This was my grail watch! I have the "Swiss made" version with the 3186 upgraded movement. In summer I use an orange "rubber b" strap. Expensive but amazing strap. You are right that it barely gets noticed, which I also like. Have not regretted this purchase and it gets a lot of wrist time. Cheers!
How about a turd Brown side of the sea... Near Blackpool 😮
Great video and congrats, beautiful watch!
It's a fantastic piece and it looks amazing on the bracelet or a vintage leather strap but it looks bloody awful on a nato! Especially the 'Craig' bond nato you've used there. Mind you; does any watch really look good on a nato?
I’ve always admired the broad arrow and skeleton hands on the Omega divers. 👍🏻
So, are you saying, you are on the fence about the Helium Escape valve?
Where did you buy the band from?
It’s from Bark&Jack
Hi which exactly normal Grey one or Grey tubular Nylon in 22mm🥰
@@michaelschaubach8048 it’s the ribbed one in 22mm
@@TheSurreyWatchGuythanks ❤
Way to tight bro 😅
Not adjusted at that point 😉
@@TheSurreyWatchGuyfair enough, must of felt like coming out of jail and taking the cuffs off 😂
@@Fthegagenda can’t say I have experience in that, but I’ll take your word for it 🤣
@@TheSurreyWatchGuy come on man live a bit
Would love to hear how this watch is a year or two on… I’m still interested in getting it, but weighing up getting a new ref Rolex explorer 2, the 42mm black dial…. any suggestions
It’s long since moved on. The mesh fit and HE valve grew to irk me. Cool watch though.
@@TheSurreyWatchGuy appreciate the update. I ended up buying a decent 2230.50. still considering the mesh bracelet. But will likely also end up getting the explorer 2 and eventually. When you get the itch, it’ll eventually need scratching…
My mate purchsed one £9k.. I just purchased a year old used one for £5.500. That’s crazy depreciation in such a short period of time.
@@oliver13809 wow!
I ended up getting a 2230.50, and purchased the mesh strap. It was a great price and has a good cult heritage.
Just about to purchase one (2004) 🎉
Is that Club La Santa? Nice watch.
I definitely prefer the matte dial on my 2201 but I would love to have that bezel…
Both are great - whichever you choose - it's the right choice. PS just purchased the 8900 calibre in black
I dunno, I miss the date on it
I love it! Bought one new in 2003 and still is my favorite!
Just lost both my toenails, nice watch!!
Nice watch, shit bracelet
Thx for the authentic Review! Bought the 16570 with a polar dial myself and many of your thoughts resonate with my own experiences. Love the versatility and while it did not 'kick' immediately, I like it better day by day and wear it over my speedmaster professional.
It’s a super under the radar watch. Does the job with minimal fuss 😃
Great video! I picked one up last night and I love it. It’s incredible.
I own an older PO. I love it. Had it for 12 years, now gone in for it's first service. I like the review, I watch these all the time. I could not help noticing immediately that the font used on these numerals is close to IDENTICAL to that used by Glasshutte on their SeaQ Panorama date, as well as the smaller SeaQ!
I had a 16570 purchased after seeing many amazing photos of it in 2021. I had it for several months and traded it in for something else. Not for profit, just never bonded with it. Mainly because the bracelet is off clasp for me and it doesn’t look as good as the photoshopped version shots too :)
You should put it on your other hand, and give it a good wind.
Hi Dan, I ordered smiths everest prs-25. I believe that it is absolutely perfect everyday watch. Is that possible swap the movement (e.g. ETA 2892-A2 top grade or Omega calibre 1120 which is much thinner and smaller than Miyota 9039)? and also I'd like to exchange double high domed plexiglass compared to current one. What do you think? Thanks
What not even in HD
It was my first video and didn't even notice until I had finished recording and editing.
