Explorer II worth to get?

[jeff_vaio]

6.5 and 6.6k ones should be their new old stock

Oh.. So you mean those are the previous series with the older movement and without the chapter ring engraving right? Seems like really a great deal that I should grab..

[daveevan]

i think they are "M" seires ones with chapter ring engraving.

One very odd question..

I haven really tried the watch on to be frank. Have seen it in real of course. Cuz I'm still young and dun really dare to go in to those boutiques to try it on. Scared later they look down on me think I no money to buy just want to try it on. Any recommendations for AD with good service that I can go and try the watch on?

Thanks for all help! Appreciated it lots!

ADs will be able to tell if you are time waster or potential buyer. I do that to my AD all the time , and the girl more than happy to let me try one

the difference in the movement and lack of chapter ring engraving remains debatable.

YES you are right! Supply is constant, Demand for ExpII (recently) is low...

Also one more question,

See from the list prices thread that the list price for the Explorer II is as follows:
explorer 2 16570 $8097 ($7671) ($7312)

List price at $8097 but how come AD are all selling at just approx 6.8-6.9K some even 6.6K.. Is the demand for the Explorer II low or is the supply of Explorer II much higher than demand?

Thanks!

Haha.. Maybe I should wear my Sub LV go to the AD there so that it seems more convicing that I'm a genuine buyer.

You must be yan dao la.. The girl happy to see you of course let you try the watches no problem..

Ha ha ha ha....

actually, my thinking is this, anyone who walk in is potential customer, ask a few more Qs and you can confirm whether this fella is real deal or time waster. No need to show me rolex or other good watch, even if you wear construction clothes, can know if you are serious or not.

My AD want my business lah, somemore they know my family (cept my younger bro) is rolex wearer. (my father lately dont like to wear rolex), so leave me and my mother, and recently my mother was look look at rolex YG president version, so they want to clinch our sale.

This 1 hor..I can reply. LOL you are same age as my bro la.

I m 17 this year...go in boutique is very All the boutiques I go,be it branded or watch...they all see me no up,until i buy things. Here's where i test their professionalism...but now I get used to it liao la...live with it.

Firstly,you are old enough la...me is then xiao didi,so no worries. Secondly, dress nicely or neatly. Wad watch you wear makes no diff 1 I tell ya...I can go THG@NAC with my Exp II or DJ...no use!

GD service...dun go to THG @ NAC

[seiko.citizen]

THG @ NAC actually not that bad, my old man and I walked in, wear average, no rolex at the time (damaged), and one of the gentleman actually spent abit of time trying to coerce us into buying, the price was average only, butat least he try, and when there was other customer, I was quite surprised that he actually spent time to show us, and even give quote on other timepieces.

Has more to do with the SA/SE attitude. If attitude good, he treat you ok, if not, they brush you off. Alternatively, he underperforming and see all customer also want to jio

[Arsenal]

when my son was in secondary 4, he wore my sub to school to show off to his classmates, his form teacher who was also into timepiece called me up that night and gave me a piece of his mind telling me besides the danger, it is also too young for him to wear a Rolex, he needs to be a working professional, knows the value of money then save money the hard way before he make his rolex purchases. In this way he will then be able to earn respect of the people around him.
Of course my son disagree with his teacher but.......

[Oceanklassik]

... but...

[seiko.citizen]

... but...

the teacher is powerless to stop

[Oceanklassik]

Then tats very wrong thinking n mindset. The teacher was nt wrong on tat advice. A 18-yr-old wearing a ROLEX to sch?! OMG!! Tis will nt jus cause harm to himself but tat of his class/schmates too.
