imo (i may be wrong), one year is too short a period to see any appreciation in price. in fact price may even dip downwards, like a market correction.

if you buy the old version ExpII 16570 BNIB and keep it for say 2-3years. by that time, 216570 is already quite stable in the market and all the remaining stock 16570 already gone (and slowly forgotten as it has been long discontinued then). by then prob that BNIB 16570 can command a premium i think.

a good example is to look at Sub date (non-ceramic). it was like around SGD7k brand new back then but probably 9k now if u managed to find a BNIB piece? same goes for the SD 16660.

so if you plan to wear, buy 216570. if you plan to keep to earn later, buy brand new 16570 and keep factory sealed.

but again, market forces and supply/demand is king so is really very hard to tell at current time.

Tks for the advise.

So far I seem to see more falling in the price. Love the 40mm size but the price drop made me worry. That's why I still didn't get any from the resale market.

last year i just got a 40mm explorer 2 black face.

I keep thinking of 42mm explorer 2...

If there are 2 watches for you to choose, example explorer 2 42mm(white face) or daytona ss.

Which one will you choose ?

Buying AD local set EX2 24mm and securing it with a deposit, balance paid later...... this will save my ass if the price rise comes !!!

Fresh out of the box, not even sized yet!

Recently sold my Pam000 to get this which I think is sportier and i think i can carry it.

Why I did not choose the White?
1. The blacked hands are too outstanding from the white dial.
2. The black wordings don't stand out of the white dial (althou the orange words do).
3. Black has a "slimming effect" and makes the look more compact on my 6.5in wrist.

Hope it can be sized properly to a good fit.

Bro, you have good taste.

As long as got willing buyer, any price is possible...

Another way of looking at it: The seller can ask for whatever price, to find a buyer is another matter

overheard...8-9k.

16660 BNIB from HK can fetch 10k.

no joke.

[pegasi]

BNIB sub date non-ceramic can fetch 9k now? Really?

Hi,

Newbie here.

Just curious. How come an older model Explorer selling $8000 - 9000+ one year plus ago, now it's selling $6000+ in the 2nd hand market. That's quiet a big drop. Even older version are starting to sell below $6000. Rolex older Explorer 2 can't hold it's value?

Is older Explorer 2's resale that bad?

Is it because of the new 42mm?

What happen?

I would like to purchase 40mm Explorer but is worried that the price is going down fast. Is older Explorer 2 really that worthless?

Anyone can advise? Please don't shoot me. Tks.
