Depends on age and condition of your SS Sub. Personally, I would prefer the SS Sub to the TT one

The Blue sub is 2005 or older no pin hole selling 2nd hand at 8.1K. I quite like the watch, reach home still think about it hahaha I dun think that I will own 2 sub unless I strike 4D or toto hahaha and OC also will not approve that why think of maybe I should sell of my SS sub than get the blue sub or exchgange with the 2nd hand dealer dun no is it worth

Had been following the forum for a while & finally took the plunge yesterday evening in view of the coming price adjustment on Rolexes!!! Got myself a White Explorer II....still admiring it's beauty

Hi ORDX! Congratulation on your purchase. Just curious, how much did you get it for?

Thanks.

Hi,

newbie here looking for his virgin rollie... the white explorer II looks belly tempting.. but pls allow one silly qns from me. will the white dial turn yellow over time?

thanks

[^Lee^]

I would think YES, if not al least the markers will turn yellow over time.

To turn yellow probably it takes >15 years bah...

Any better opinion

Cheerio,

[ohlins]

dial wont turn yellow........

i am currently considering either to get a black or white dial exp ii.
everyone says the black dial is better as it has a higher resale value - not sure why tho... any truth in it?
the funny thing is that most people ask me to buy the white dial as it is not so common, more distinguished - but they all buy the black one themselves...
it's the damnest thing...

[pingpong]

haha... buy the one that u like best... or better still buy BOTH!

asians prefer black because of white face when pronounced in cantonese is not that auspicious.

yes, white dial among asians not many that is provided you are an asian. people from states, europe, australia prefer white dial.

my advice is get one you like better. if u like both, get both lor.

now gotta go find money...

THG Peninsula also told me that, and how the Daytona situation at the moment. Of course, I think the Japanese may now have to fight with Chinese money, as the Chinese are really buying up on luxury goods.

That's correct, this way be a logical choice. No pt getting both black dails.. A white Exp II and black GMT IIc will be great!

[seiko.citizen]

yup....now in china, it is golden week for labour day holiday....and watch boutique r getting ready for them to spend spend spend. source from a reliable source, a watch boutique manager that one china man went to his shop and spend 100k on watches.

but i think most of the mainlanders go to HK and buy, since closer geographically. However, many also come down to s'pore too.
But also plenty of scammers out there too. My local AD got done once by mainlanders using false CCs. if i recall correctly they got away with about 50K worth of stock.

of course, another way of stretching your $$$

[viper0419]

finally got my white explorer ii today.... gonna wear it to sleep tonight

any idea how to adjust the buckle area as it is slightly tight but no need to add one more link. must have a watch tool?

hope the price for 16710 will drop over the next few months cos that will be my next buy.
