What is the list price for explorer 1 (39mm) in Singapore? Any good local AD to recommend?

[Oceanklassik]

The last I know was $7,847 in June 2011. It should be much higher now, probably early $8K? 'Good AD' is subjective but you can try the Hour Glass, Sincere Fine Watches, Cortina, Dickson Watch, Tai Hong Hung, Watch Palace, etc.

[pencraze]

Noob here.

Just got my first rolex today , explorer black from AD...

8k +++

Anyone can tell me how to know which series ? for a brand new one ?

[Oceanklassik]

Many have asked this here and many have responded. You may do a search here or google-search for the information. Try 'oysterworld' / 'oysterinfo'. Did you get any discount for it, btw?

[triton]

very likely it is a alphanumeric series

Yes it is after discount..Now alot places selling 9.1k

I think mine is GXXXX with the serial number

Is that the correct G series ?

[Oceanklassik]

From what it was researched over the recent set of serialised system ROLEX is using on their watches, the 'G' series seems to be used on the latest set of their watches. Before that was the alphanumeric serial numbers and earlier than that, the 'V' series. I suppose 'G' may be the last series for the current, or should I put it, older Explorer II model (16570). The new ROLEX 216570 has entered the market. Oh, maybe I should put it, "entered the forum" too (two pcs are on sale now )

They got me thinking AGAIN!!!

Not a bad idea to have a black ExpII (42mm) in my collection too! Hmm...

[Oceanklassik]

For this (new) one, I think the white looks much nicer. More distinctive; bolder. Like it is 'staring' right into your face

Black would have been nicer on the older model in comparison. I may just get a black 16570 and the white 216570 (if I strike lottery - 1ST PRIZE) ..

If only i got extra money then i will buy the latest explorer 2 (42mm) white since i got the old one explorer 2 (40mm)

Strange i find 40mm abit small after wearing sometime....

Serious white?! I thought the 'phantom hands' is the attraction for the black one? The white goes well with the orange hands though.

Tempted to get the offered $12.8k black one but premium of $2k plus is hard to swallow for me.
