If I am not wrong, there's some background to this particular model. Somehow it is considered to be some error production by Rolex and it's extremely rare now thus very collectible.

I have both white and black dial Exp II and all I can say is I never regretted buying both! I don't find them identical at all! It's really nice to put them side by side and see the contrasts in the hands and dial markers.

Explorer II after discount or before discount $6.5K ?
