Close-ups of Bill Yao's homage to the ref. 1016 Explorer. I chose the non-date "scientific" dial and the yellow sweep seconds hand to differentiate it even more from the original Rolex icon. At 39 mm in diameter, the Vantage is the same size as the new ref. 214270 Explorer released at this year's Basel Watch Fair.
The 4 gradations between the seconds markers on the dial correspond to the beat rate (28,800 bph) of the ETA 2824-2 movement. That means I can hack this watch on any of those lines.
Dauphine hands would also look sweet on this watch. I wonder if Bill would make that an option in the future?
