if you have the right set of tools, like the one shown below, you can resize on your own.

the blue color solution is the lock tight solution - to allow the screw to 'bite' better when screwed in.

1) the neighbourhood watch can assist you in resizing your bracelet if they have the experience and the right tools.
2) you can visit any local AD to seek assist. they will not charge you.
3) you can bring the watch itself only to RSC without box, papers/warranty card. they can do it for you.
4) you can do it on your own. why not?

They won't charge? That's great to know. Tks, triton bro...
Cheers

dear all,
sorry, I'm a newbie, got a question:

If I get someone to help bring back a Explorer II for me from overseas, where should I go locally to get it sized to my wrist? should I:
(1) bring to any neighbourhood watch shop? safe to do so?
(2) bring to one of the ADs? will they entertain me since I didn't buy the watch from them? if they do,what is likely to be the typical cost?
(3) bring to RSC? what would be the typical cost?
(4) do it myself? I think not lah....

Thanks!

Tks, bro skydweller! In that case, I better go to one of the ADs, juz pay them la, better than risk getting my watch scratched....

dont think ADs will help you since you didnt buy the watch from them
if you bring a rolex watch to rolex center with a valid warranty card, they can do the sizing for you FOC
but have to be careful, they are 'well-known' to introduce scratches to your brand new watch
of course you can bring to any third-party shop, but i guess they charge , though they might be extra careful and hence minimise chances of scratch

Prefer quick date function to the dual time function
Of course would be best to have both in the same movement

Is setting date on gmt2c and exp2 difficult?
Sub and dssd very easy with quick date function
The date just jump with each crown rotation

No quick date setting for both the watch. But it's not difficult to set the date, you just need to rotate the hour hands to have the date set.

Gmt iic date function can be adjusted in a quicker manner by directly turning the hour hand.
Not too sure about the sub c and the explorer ii (42mm) date function.

Ex2 you can also jump hour hand on hourly basis.

Does it mean the way to adjust the date on the explorer is different from that of the date-just?

currently own date-just and looking to buy a explorer II
