Thanks for sharing. I really don't like the size and applied indices of the ref 214270. Eddies rendition of the ref 1016 is just so spot on and highlights it's classic design and the perfect size at 36mm.Quote:

The commentary was a little flowery but it highlighted a few things for me.
1 - how closely the Everest resembles the 1016
2 - how much the Explorer has changed over the years
3 - that I actually much prefer the Everest to the Explorer!
I also prefer the older models with printed dials although I think that modern one is one of the nicer of the modern Rolex offerings.Quote:
