hi

not sure whether theres any diff in the setting of date between explorer 2 and datejust..

but for explorer, u gotta pull out the crown to the "first click" and turn it either way to move the hour hand and the date will only change after a 24 hour sweep of the hour hand..

at least tats wat i understand from the settin of the date on my first rolex explorer2.. jus got it a few days back and here to say hi to everyone

[ae121]

Yes it's the only way. No quick set date feature. Same for 216570.

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

[iwearwatch]

Wow...a very impressive Explorer II. How much is it for a brand new from authorised agent?

My favorite watch for sure... so glad I got this one, the white face is just amazing to look at during the day, and at night is so easy to read because of the white face, the glow reflects of the crystal at night and it really "pops".

I recommend checking one out !!

Certainly appears the demand in SG for the Explorer 2 42mm has totally worn off..... seen bro's here who can't even sell overseas AD sets at 8.9K-9.1K and even the local dealers selling at list with the same watch on display for 2 months now.

Glad the hype has finally gone.... I'd expect some bro's to get 5% off in local AD's soon... so make sure you push hard on the discounts

I think most know ( Incl me ) they ARE getting a good deal prior to purchase bro..... otherwise NO SALE... or buy of O/seas AD off SG-ROC

But need to deal at RSC and spend time there...

I wonder how many of you after buying a particular model continue to visit ADs to find out if you had made a good deal? Got my EXII 2 weeks ago for <$10K, I walked into a reputed AD last Sat and was told there is no stock and the selling price is $13,000 against the list price $10,360. The salesman offer me to put my name on waiting list. As I was about to leave, he told me that if I am serious, he could get me one in half an hour. How ridiculous!

Er... I still prefer a sexy lady in black lingerie than white Leh! Haha!

I second roguehog's sentiment Interestingly enough, the place I bought my X2 from charged $200 more for black than white.

Nonetheless, all down to personal taste in the end. For the smaller 40mm, I actually prefer the white dial.

Yo Brother kt Lim, just a piece of advise, to get your watch to start again, it is better to wind it up rather then shaking it. Cheers and enjoy your new watch.
