Watch Palace is an AD.

[roguehog]

It's a puny 6 1/4 inches Size-wise, this is really pushing the boundaries for me though I've gotten used to 42mm as I've been wearing a Tudor Heritage Chrono for a while. I tried the white 16570 and it was quite nice, but WP wanted list price for it

Are you sure? Cos mine's the same 6.25 inches but doesn't look that big.

Actually 42mm is still too small for my 6.25 wrist. I'm very happy with my 51mm prodiver and 46mm ingenieur me and 44mm Pam.

Hmm, I thought WP is an AD. Anyways, I think you're right that most are still asking list for the watch. What I didn't quite understand was asking list for the 16570 model - $9100!

Watch Palace is an AD.

Noted on WP as an AD... Thx.

Hey, just got my white Ex2 from HK for $9.5k. Did I get it at a good price?

Yes

SG List is 10,360....local AD's are selling at 10.2 - 12K ( Crazy !! ) Average price here will be 10.3-11K still.

The overseas BNIB sets are selling here in SG-ROC at $8.9-9.4K...... whilst I can't verify it I'm led to believe some bros are getting them for 8.4-8.8K overseas ( I don't know which country ).

I support local AD's myself.... in return I get great service and a face to meet when a prob arises OR I want a particular watch

Price is ok...... BUT Also - Do check you statement before declaring what you paid unless you already have the statement OR paid cash.... you can often see crazy bank currency conversions on statements

Hi guys,

My new ex2 date won't go from 30 to 1 today - it goes to 31. i thought it was tuned to other months which has 31 days. But when i turn the hour hand 30 days later, it still goes 31. Do I always have to do it manually? Is this normal or something is wrong?

Another thing, I dont usually wear it as it is only a weekend watch. So usually time will stop and i need to retime it when i take it out to wear. But how long does it takes to stop? Last 2 days, I wore on Sunday for the whole day. I check the watch and it stopped at 4pm on Monday. So i guess it takes about -/+ 20 hrs to stop. Is this normal or something is wrong?

winding of explorer 2

Hi Bros,

My explorer 2 was bought on 30 july 2006. want to check the following:

(1) when winding, the free play of the crown is quite a bit. It is not as tight as the submariner that i have.
(2) after winding, when i push back the crown and screw in, it does not screw all the way in. when this happens,i have to pull the crown out again and push in properly and screw back, then it seems ok.
(3) explorer 2 can be pulled out to 3 positions. for winding, to move hour hand only, and to move all hands. thus when i pull out the crown, the find the hands inside the glass like vigourously moving.

is all this normal??

regards,
icecool

Hi Bro Dfive,

So you mean we have to adjust it on the 1st of every month if that month does not have a 31st?
