Hi, found a F series full set at $4700 condition ok, reasonable price?
May i know F series box are those green leather box?

Thks

Yes, price is reasonable. "Green leather box"? You may want to post pics of it. I think there may be pics of it in the forum. Try to search.

Thanks Ocean for the reply, what i meant is the wooden box cover with green leather. Or i should make it simple, the present rolex wooden box started from which year?

Hi, this is the F series i am going to buy but need you Pro to confirm.

1. Warranty stamp 2007, is it possible that the warrantly stamp 2007 for a F series?
2. How many links a ExII should have, 11 or 13 ?





Everythings look ok?

[Oceanklassik]

From the pics, it looks pretty decent. Yes, I think that is the correct box.

As for whether an F series can be "warranty stamped" 2007, it is possible. IIRC, the F series is in the production years between 2003 & 2004. So, it may be a 'NOS' (New-Old-Stock). And I believe there should be 12 links for the bracelet.

hi seniors i am going to buy exp II and now thinking if i should buy new set from local AD or consider used watch. I already tried the watch on wrist and find it very nice. i got quoted 7780 from the AD. How much is the market price for an used exp II 16570?

Thanks Ocean.

Buy new/buy old - up to you. If you are not intending to keep it for long, then go for used. Market price for used will depend on many, many factors like the age & condition of the watch, accessories with it like box, papers, links, etc. Search the forum and you should be able to appreciate the pricing for used pieces.

Thanks Ocean.

u r welcomed ..

Hi, I am new here. Just got myself a pre-owned Explorer II black, Z series. condition 99% like new. Love the watch.
I have few question as follows:
1) back of my watch on the casing there is a green sticker - in japanese wording. Hence, is this watch import from japan?
2) what is 'chapter ring'?

Thanks...

Thanks for your kind reply.

'chapter ring' used rather loosely and often 'wrongly' but has become the Norm

Should be referred to as 'rehaut engraving/markings'

Heeheee

For Explorer II? I really don't know but so far it has been reported here around 15%-16%. True or not, I let you decide.

No idea for the new Explorer 1. You may want to ask Clemo because he just bought one recently. He showed it to us at the recent CNY gathering. Nice piece

At this stage, there should still have NOS for the 36mm version. List price I think was $7,049. But discount should have decreased since it is discontinued. Again I won't know exactly how much. On this, you can ask Shene who, recently, also purchased it.
