Disconinued Explorer 2 "V" remaining stock

[Ronyyk76]

Found discontinued Explorer 2 (40mm) 116570 older model “v" series still available (2008 Dec to 2010) at one of local AD(reputable one). So, is very surprise to know “V” is still available and selling as a new set.

1) Is it true that Rolex has ended its production for the model at "V" series? Was told.

2) 8k (Est.) is fair deal?

3) Any concern can share for getting such so old stock from a Local AD (reputable one)? Warranty issue?

4) Will Local AD possibly buy an old stock from somewhere else (Non AD shop, other overseas AD and etc) just to make sale?

Hope to be a new Rolex owner with this Explorer 2 to join you guys enjoying Rolex.

alphanumeric series still have if im not mistaken.

price is subjective. depending on buyers perception of the watch value for say V in this case. anyway, seller can quote whatever price since this model is already discontinued. there might be buyers who are still looking for alphabet series. so seller in this case may not be in a rush to sell.

there is no concern if warranty card details matches that of the watch and there is the AD name/stamp on it. also a receipt from the AD is good.

what the AD do, i can't comment. is there a possibility? depending on whether they issue you a receipt bearing the watch details such as model, serial number, etc. just put on thinking cap, you will get what i am attempting to put across.

Just curious, isn't a Local AD(expecially reputable and big one) needs to produce a standard official receipt bearing the watch details such as model, serial number..etc

1)Really hope to learn more on what others information should be included in the official receipt from these big reputable Local AD.

2) This deal looks a litte complex, as it is case where very old stock is selling as new one, so there is no price guidelines from any pre-owned market or an official retail price guidelines. It is very grey. Plus, if it is old set, the servicing will be earlier. Too difficult for me to estimated whether this is fair price or at high side. Hope it is convenient to receive your generous advices on this price, and hope to see your PM.

Newbie like myself really needs proper guides to enjoy Rolex with peaceful mind.

Its generally safe to buy from ADs, btw V is not that old, i saw afew Z series marketed as 2011 production at ADs
Will you buy these? Z series was supposed to have ended production in 2007
I'd only buy G or alpha now
Anything before that wont consider! Even if rolex database shows its production as '2011'

"..Anything before that wont consider! Even if rolex database shows its production as '2011'....Noted, for this point.

Cannot forget the fact that we have already entered year 2012 just today, so it will no be so good for resale price for someone who plans to sell after some years.

If refers to latest EXP 2(42mm, orange hand), then surprise to know that it is not an alphanumeric series.

Another "re-surface" case?

Not cheap if its exp2 40mm

9.1 look like a common retail price in sg for that 40mm exp2, before discount. If to get it at that price, 42mm will surely look like a better deal.
