New Explorer 2 to come soon?

I come across a website with US pricelist for Rolex in May. If they put the price in the pricelist, i guess it should not be far away. Just my wild guess.

They have put in the price of the 42mm Rolex Explorer 2. seems like U$100 more than Milgauss GV. Guess that will make EXP 2 at around 9.8-10k?

Anyone knows what is size for the NATO strap is required for Explorer 2?

Thinking of getting a preowned Explorer 2 instead.

The size will be the same, regardless of the series and with or without pinhole right?

Thanks!

Still undecided between black and white dial as well.

The lug size for the Explorer II should be the same with or w/o lug holes. It is 20mm.

i know the widths are standard regardless of lugholes or not. i just wasnt sure exactly how many mm's it was.

[charleslin]

So I can just get any 20mm NATO strap for the Explorer 2?

Thanks!

[seiko.citizen]

Hi,

May be I didnt write clearly, the distance from the lug to lug/band to band. Is it 46mm or 47mm?

Hello,
I'm new here.
Been a fan of the Exp2 and just wondering what is retail right now as I heard that Rolex just have a price increase recently.
Is there different prices for black or white dial?
I don't think I will be able to afford the new Exp2 216570 so maybe I will just get the soon to be discontinued 16570 if prices permit me to.
Any discount for sports model btw?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

[Oceanklassik]

I'm not too sure about the new price (if it was affected in the recent increase) but the last was $8,645 with no/little discount (may be 5% if you are lucky). If what has been said here about the recent increase of 5% to 7% was true, you are probably looking at an increased price of $9,077.25 (if based on 5% increase) or worse, $9,250.15 (if based on 7% increase).

Woah, thanks for your reply there.
It seems like I can't save faster than a price increase...

I walked into 2 ADs at Suntec this week, they do not have any exp2 left. From the new price, seems like few models increased by ~5.2%. So exp2 should be around 9100 now.

You might wanna to try City Hall Cortina? I saw a white polar Explorer II two days ago retailing at 9100 SGD.
