Prince Harry of Wales Wearing a Rolex Explorer II

While most international publications have been focused on Prince Harry of Wales' current romantic relationship with American actress Meghan Markle, what I find interesting is his choice of watch. Shown in the photo above during his service in the British Army, he wears a Rolex Explorer II with a white dial (Reference # 216570). I dubbed this model the watchmaker's most underrated model in a previous post, as it is often found at a discount online as compared to other models.

Someone who can wear any watch in the world, Prince Harry's choice of Rolex is surprising considering that it retails for less that $10,000 US. If you want to steal his look, you can even find used versions of this stainless steel professional model or its smaller predecessor (Reference # 16570) for lower than $7k. The photo below shows a close up of the Explorer II, a legible and understated tool watch with a GMT function.

After having come across Rich Kids of London, an London-based Instragram troll account dedicated to obnoxious displays of wealth, it is refreshing to find that Britain's Royal Family opts for a more subdued approach to wealth.
