Hello fellow Omega Forum members,

I currently own two white Explorer II's (this 16570 and the new 226570). While I think they're too similar to keep both, I really can't decide which one I like more and should keep. So I've decided to list them both and then keep whichever one doesn't sell first.

This Explorer II ref. 16570 has an A serial number, which dates it to either 1998 or 1999. The watch was serviced by Rolex in 2024 and remains under warranty until May 2026. I purchased the watch through eBay, so it was authenticated after I purchased it. It will come with the newer style Rolex service pouch, Rolex serivce card, and eBay authentication card.

The watch is in overall good condition with light scratches on the case, bezel, and bracelet. The scratches a very superficial and could be removed with the lightest of polishes should one choose to do so. The most noticable scratches (as demonstrated in the pictures below) are one the undersides of the lugs (from strap changes), on the top of the lug at 7 o'clock, and on the edge of the bezel near the 12 hour marker on the 24 hour scale. There are no signs of wear on the crystal that I can see. As the pictures show, the lugs are still thick and the spring bars do not come close to poking through the drilled lug holes. Although I will not guarantee accuracy (though Rolex does until May of 2026), the watch averages +1 sec/day on my wrist.

I'm asking for $7450 + shipping, which is the cheapest white dialed 16570 on WatchRecon by a good margin at the moment. Payment via bankwire unless you're an established member of the Omega Forums community. I am not interested in any trades at the moment. The watch is located in Boston, MA. A face to face exchange is always welcome.

Here is my feedback as seller: https://omegaforums.net/search/326177/?q=keiths&t=post&c%5Bchild_nodes%5D=1&c%5Bnodes%5D%5B0%5D=10&c%5Btitle_only%5D=1&o=relevance

As always, thank you to the staff members of Omega Forums for providing this space.

On to the pictures! You may need to click on them to load them in higher resolution.

Here are a couple of pictures at slightly different angles to show the condition of the dial and brushed portion of the bezel:





The following pictures show the drilled lugs (notice, the spring bars are still quite deep):

As I want to make sure the potential buyer is fully informed, the following are pictures taken with a macro lens in tangential lighting to highlight some of the scratches that are not very noticable in the pictures above (though, in my opinion, these scratches look very exaggerated in the below pictures):
