Is that you singing in the outro music, Russ?!
Yes my friend;) Spotify - Martha’s Man . Song is Trampoline
No way am I just finding out about this now! So talented.
You have built a great channel, you are funny creative and put on a great show , please don’t take criticism personally
Beautiful, understated watch.
Yeah, well, excellent watches sure - but they don't touch my heart, somehow. Would go with a Hanhart or a Vertex instead. Cheers! 🧡
I agree.... you'd only buy this because of the 5 pointed crown....
I do love the latest Tudor GMT mind....
You have just mentioned my top 4 watches I'd buy if I had a bigger budget. The 1016 ,36mm is still my favourite explorer, I'm also a skinny wristed guy so these vintage sizes fit beautifully. I don't know about your taste in Pacman Casio's but you definitely got good taste in Rolex mate 👍
Great video. The 16570 is my favorite Rolex ever and my most worn watch.❤
Great vid mwc, Im new to the hobby and love watching your videos. Keep up the awesome work man!
Honest to God I love your RUclips channel keep up with the amazing work you do hope too see more videos you do
Great video! I agree on the older references- so much better. Not to bring Omega into a Rolex conversation- but it very much reminds me of how I vastly prefer my Seamaster 300 2254, from roughly the same era, to the contemporary models...
I own a Rolex Thunderbird Turn-o-matic from the 1970s. I think it is extremely underrated. You can find them on the used market for $3.5K - $5K. A step up from a Oyster perpetual in my humble opinion.
Great video! The Rolex 16570 is an iconic lovely sports watch!! They do indeed wear smaller than the 40mm referenced size... hence why I sold my 16570 Polar and went w/the newer 216570 Polar for my 8-1/4" wrist.
I’m totally with you MWC, the late 80s to late 90s era of Rolex is the one that appeals to me the most too. Any Rolex is more than I’m personally able to justify paying for a watch unfortunately but if I had the money, it would hands down be a watch from this era that I’d be shopping for rather than a new one.
Amazing show as always MWC 🙌
I agree with you entirely classical and all the advanced horology anyone needs late 70s to 90s defo romans golden era
If I were ever to buy a Rolex then this is the reference I would go for. It's not in my price range at the moment but there's no harm in dreaming.
Thank you for the video.
I can’t afford an Explorer II, so last week I bought the Pagani “homage” - I love it. Judge me I don’t care 😂
Love the video 👍
If you're happy bro that's all that matters!!! ❤
yup, agreed i have the Pagani omega seamaster homage and its far better than its cost...

I paid £95 delivered. Sapphire, screwdown crown, Seiko nh34 movement. Great watches, amazing value
No way do I judge you my friend! Big respect
Bought a 16570 polar recently. Absolutely love it. I love the new one but just too large for my taste.
Great video mwc. That’s a nice watch I prefer that black dial to the white 👍🏻
I’ll take an “it’s alright…” from Mrs. MWC everyday of the week! 😅
Awesome content and show! I might have a relook at the elder Rolex's!
Thanks Spence!!!
Great vid. Can’t believe the hate some people are giving it. Ignore them! I could buy a Rolex (only without the wife knowing!) and I love those era Explorer and Explorer 2, but fortunately I don’t like what Rolex stands for these days, so doubt I’ll ever own one. I’ll stick to my Tudors!
I completely agree with your assessment of the 16570, but judging by the price, it is no longer a tool watch. Like it`s iterations, it has become a luxury collector's item. So price and enjoyment may not go together.
I have the 216570 and like you, I’m tempted to downsize from the 42mm to the 40mm 5 digit .
Ive never seen a comment section this salty since the release of the MoonSwatch. Great video. Some watching are dilusional 😂
The Spelunking aspect of the Explorer i like because that was when Rolex were still actually tool watches, i.e. North Sea oil rig divers wearing submariners, not watches for guys trying to show off how rich and successful they are ....what would you rather hear 'yup i got this specifically made watch for my weekend adventures cave exploring' 'i use this submariner while diving and repairing North Sea oil rigs, or 'yeah you know i'm a playa i made it bro ... Can't you tell since i'm wearing a Rolex'.
The first story attracts me more than the.second which is why i currently favor Sinn over Rolex at the moment.
I’d rather be a Spelunker !
Is this the BQ watch channel ?
I had a black dial 2004 16570 and I have to agree 100% with what you said about the watch. It’s sublime to wear and the black dial is actually the more stunning one when seen up close on the wrist (thanks to the contrast with the white gold index surrounds). I tried multiple times and I just couldn’t pull off any of the 6-digit Explorer IIs. Sadly, I sold mine to fund the purchase of a modern Sub. Happy with my choice, but I’m still missing my old 16570. I have a feeling that either this and the Brosnan-era SMP300 will be my first ever reacquisition in the future.
Would love an Explorer or Explorer II, but think I'll make do with a Vertex M100 for now 😊
Hell yeah!!!
They are magical but out of budget 😊.
Great video. I have the Japanese version of the INCIPIO Explorer2 'splunker' as you called it. Got it early 2000's for under £500. These Incipio brand watches out of Japan are excellent. Look exactly like the original ( without the R name ) and have no issues with reliability or timing. So I got as close as I could afford for the price of an R service. You should checkout Incipio, there are about 12 models in the 'homage' range.
16570- One and Done!
I’ve purchased 4 Rolexes, Roger Dubuis, Carl F Bucherers, so please cover more high-end watches more often you have plenty of viewers who enjoy both ends of the watch scale.
Nope. Luxury watches are wank.
What is your wrist size? Because if it’s anywhere close to 7in the new explorer II looks fine on that size wrist. The 39/40mm explorer II is extremely nice and probably a better size overall, but the new one isn’t actually 42mm it’s 41.2mm and not as different as people think essentially makes it the exact same size as the TUudor GMT but much thinner at 12.2mm and better designed in general.
Thank you my friend. I’ve had one on the wrist and it just doesn’t appeal to me . The 5 digit Ex2’s are the ultimate Rolex tool watches
The Explorer is easily my favorite watch out there. The Seiko GMT Field (black dial or japanese issue white dial) is a nice way to get the look without taking out a loan
Great comment my friend! 100% agre!
I have the 16700 (B&P) and it is the only watch I wear now. Got rid of the 214270 and the current Sub that could not compete at all. A speedy, a SARB017 and a Seamaster complete the collection. I do not want anything else. ❤️🙏🏻
Did you sell your sub?
I’m also considering it as I wear my bb miles more.
@ I sold it indeed. Never looked back as I have a nice Seamaster from the 90s (electric blue)
@@vianouche1 I’m at a crossroads and have been through this before and always regret my decision.
This time feels a little different and I might trade both my 6 digits in for 5 digits
Maybe if you can get a hold of them from a Boutique or AD other than the grey market!
The 16570 is left off of way to many one watch collection lists. I wear mine from Board Room to Beach and it fits in everywhere in between. Throw a Steel Reef micro adjust link on it and it’s very close to perfect.
Ypu should also mention that this watch will cost at least £1000 to service at a Rolex service centre.
Love the older Explorer II. Much better proportions, IMO. It's subtle and classic. I'd buy one in a heartbeat if I had 7K lying around 🙂
The wife has the same perception of watches as normal people, and that's why i love it. Before i got into watches, when I saw my ex's dad's gmt II and was like ewww, such an old man's watch. I constantly remind myself these hype watches are not always cool in the eyes of the general public. It saves me a lot of money :P
I have never had the opportunity to pay $8500 for a Rolex.
But I did once have the opportunity to pay $7000 for a used Ford Mustang.
Here’s how I spelunker…. Lunker.😂
Love the look of this generation in the videos but on my 7.5-wrist it just looks too small. I wish they'd go with look with the contemporary dimensions.
Hey Russ, I believe you said that you done with this stupid brand
Love 90’s Rolly matey
Rolex................. Old man's watch............. also, very popular with taxi drivers in the Middle East...................... mostly boring and some of them are quite uggerly........................
I would've clicked but was typing. Don't think I want a watch that might get me near bats.🙄
The best rolex watches are the casio g shock. Prove me wrong
I’m in Mrs MWC’s camp Russ, can’t abide a cyclops, always looks like an after thought for a myopic pensioner. Love the Explorer, just not that cyclops.
No no no shush!! Don't bloody tell everyone! 🙄
The submariner with no date cost 9500€ in rolex shop,but you cant buy it,outside in chrono 24 cost 12500!!!! The same with op 41mm,cost 6500 in store and 8500 outside,its insane....
Definitely it’s supply and demand . Rolex choking the AD’s with supply or do it seems ;)
Daydate 40 ombre dial green. best watch in the catalogue. every tom dick and harry has a steel Rolex, go for gold!!!
Great video but hollowed ends links and pressed clasp. Come on I have heard you express your disappointment on far less expensive watches with a milled clasp.
Beautiful watch, but Rolex just doesn't do it for me.
The best Rolex to by this year is ….. None of them. Overpriced hype BS. The very definition of the law of diminishing returns.
But you can't buy them. Ordinary people walking in off the street can't buy them. Ridiculous upload.
You can buy them, I see many people coming into BQ buying watches man. I can’t afford this just like that but look at my collection!!!! They ain’t all under 200 quid!!! I love all watches man and so should you no matter what the cost. I’m an ordinary guy and if I want a watch I’ll save for it .
You are absolutely correct. And why would I spend a 30 year old watch for a higher price than a new version would cost.
If you like the look but not the price, try the Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT. Variety of dial colours, similar size and for around £1000
I think anyone can buy a second hand Rolex if they really wanted to. If I had the will power to stop buying mid range watches for the next 5 years maybe I could buy one! I don’t see a problem with channels showing watches of all price ranges. It’s nice to dream sometimes. 😁
Really ? Do you think that 90% of your viewers can afford a Rolex when they don’t even have enough money to pay their bills in this economic climate , never forget the viewership that got you to where you are
sounds broke over here - get your money up big dog
Easy there tiger
I have to disagree with you. Last video was about a casio... a bit of variety never hurt anyone. Understand your point about the economic climate, however this video gives viewers a more achievable goal for getting a high end watch. I appreciate the advice. And will definitely look at preloved 90s rolex's in the future as the dream of getting one seemed much further away than it does now! Much love MWC. Nobody is telling you to buy one....
90%? You pull that number out of your rear?
@ have more Luxury watches than you could even imagine , I just don’t think it’s right that RUclipsrs once they have made their money forget where they started
