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...

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?

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 ..

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, 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?

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?

[Oceanklassik]

Hi, found a F series full set at $4700 condition ok, reasonable price?

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.

I am so eager to wait till Basel 2011. Hope the new Explorer II is really coming out.

Yes! Does anybody know of a "complete" guide to the Explorer II? Listing all the movement and changes during the years? Preferably on the web.
