Hi hi,

thanks for the info. Are your frens able to get any discounts for explorer II?

Also, what's NAC? I am keen to go down and ask...

I didn't ask but I believe there should have since they paid in cash. NAC = Ngee Ann City (building that houses Takashimaya).

If u are looking for the expII,i can help u get a good price.

Hey stlf,

thanks for the help but I am looking for the old explorer II 16570, white dial rather than the newly released one. If you have good lobang for me do give me a note! I email Hourglass and Sincere and both their replies are that they no longer have stock for this discontinued model, and instead recommended me the newer one which is out of my budget since it is over 10k.

Alamak, I know Ngee Ann City for sure, but not what NAC stands for. Now I know. Haha.

Yes, some shops still carry the older model (16570) in both black and white but stocks are depleting very soon. Just last week, two of my friends bought one each (black & white) from two different ADs separately and those were the last pieces in the shops and according to the ADs, they would not be able to order anymore from ROLEX, Switzerland.

Just few days ago, I saw two (black & white) at Watch Palace, Lucky Plaza, and one white at Hour Glass, NAC.

Good luck!

wow does that mean that the old explorer ii is confirmed to be discontinued?

[Oceanklassik]

This has always been the case for ROLEX. Once a new model is produced, the older one gets discontinued. Some recent examples include the Seadweller(16660)-Deep Sea Seadweller(116660), Submariner(16610)-Submariner C(116610), Explorer I 36mm(114270)-Explorer I 39mm(214270).

Hi Ah Boy,
I am able to get you the old explorer. even the the new one at relatively attractive price. do sms me if you really keen to get them. Must do so quick for both the models as the old model is depleting so fast and the new ones increase their prices every 6months. Hp: 979.242.44

If no hurry wait... the new model price will come down to more reasonable. Explorere 2 is never a "popular" watch compared with the SUB Date. Before they discontinued last time the old explorer 2 was only $6000++ BNIB from AD.

[cokiee]

Really? Can I assume that is with a very good relationship built up with the sales associate?

[DM101]

Not relationship... demand and supply. EXP2 was not a fast seller. EXP 1 114270 also not popular selling @ $5000++ local AD

[Ken3]

Been searching around for the new "old" explorer 2 at the local ADs but to no avail.. Any bro have any idea Sincere or THG have it at Airport departure hall? & do they offer installment plans for it?

No wonder...i rmb last time the old explorer II only 6000+ then now become near 9k. I was wondering if it is becos of the increase in prices for all Rolex watches.
