Hiya,

sorry 😊

https://www.pf-868.com/0rlex00031-explorer-1-uv-214270-ss-black-sa-3132.html

This has the SA3132.... is this a general perception do you think?  

And could one not just buy a movement to replace the broken one? ( I am blank on this )

just scratch the last question... this is probably more expensive, and way to fiddly ...

Hi Guys and Gals,

I have just pulled the trigger on a BP Explorer I, 214270, from Joshua.

Do any of you Gents know of things I have to be aware of or double check when I get the QC pics?

Thanks in advance.

Back in the old days a CHS- correct hand-stack- movement was a risky proposition- you just didn't know when it would fail. I don't know if they've gotten any better.

This movement has the ICHS- in-correct hand stack- and is probably a little less risky movement wise- but the hand-stack is not right- but will anyone notice?

The 214270 has the SA3132- it would be better with the a2824-2 movement. But the decision is yours. Good luck!  

Thank a bunch for your thoughts..... 👍

Get us some links to the watches you're looking at and don't hesitate to be more specific- there's a number of models which are Explorer IIs- 1655, 16550, 16570 and even the newer ones- 216570.

Same with Explorer Is- 1016, 14270, etc.

Sorry you are absolutely right.

These two are in my sights, Both from BP-factory:

216570.  https://www.pf-868.com/makers/bp-products/0-0-0-0-0-rlex00017-bp-216570-chs-explorer-ii-ss-ss-black-sa-3187.html

214270. https://www.pf-868.com/0rlex00031-explorer-1-uv-214270-ss-black-sa-3132.html

my question is basically:  what are your thoughts on these two? .... are these the best versions out there at the moment or am I overlooking a factory who has a better version?

I did the exact same thing with my H-fact 111. I sent mine to the floor of our kictchen (stone floor) took it to a rep-friendly watchsmith and he rectified my mishap. It was just the movement who had misplaced itself a tiny bit, so it rubbed against the dial, stopping it from running freely. 100Euros later and i was smiling.

AFAIK the Cygnet is just a rebadged Toyota iQ which Aston sells in order to comply with EU emissions regs.

Like this thread a lot My smuf-like wrist.. Clocking in at 6" (15,5cm) Pam 111 h-factory Love it to bits... Dreaming of a DSSD... :0)

Dear all,

After I have been lurking around a bit without posting I better properly introduce myself.

I am one of probably many RG transfers after the site went AWOL. Around 3-4 years in the community, mainly reading but also a few posts and some deals. I own a few gens and a few reps, but looking to expand my collection

Looking forward to spending hours in here.

Velkommen ( welcome )

Glad you Joined us... :-)

Same here, that is something you will need to get around. But i do not really think much of it now.

I just love it... Have not worn any other watch since i got it.. Just go for it, U will not regret it..

(bought from joshua)

I bought this pam 111. It is a H fact. There are different opinions on whether the best comes from Noob or H fact.

My opinion is if the Noob is better, then either way you win. Very nice quality on both..

Just my 2ct.

Sorry for the iPhone picture.

All the best... See you soon..
