The perfect fake Rolex Explorer II 16570 is a great watch for those who want the model but don’t love its latest and larger 42mm iteration. The 16570 is 40mm in diameter, more in line with the classic and vintage proportions of its predecessors.

The watch was produced from 1989 to 2011, an admirable run within the catalogue, utilising the 3185/3186 in-house GMT and date movements throughout.

One important note: it is believed that A-serial models will use a hollow link bracelet and D-serial models use solid end links – which may affect the fit and feel. Another thing to look out for — models with tritium dials have the potential to possibly patina over time!
