New rolex explorer 2 42mm

[gmtlover]

Hi just saw this on puretime, they just uploaded it 2 days ago..

This seems to be a great version. maybe some experts can have a look at it?

Finish looks great to me.

They even state it has the correct cyclops AR. This would be a first on reps and a big one for new reps to come

Looks nice but i don't see any AR under and on top of the cyclops on that picture.

Take a look at the link and then play the movie, then you can see it..

I also like the new clasp on the bracelet. you can see the mechanics in the movie very nice!

[gmtlover]

not a lot of interest in the newest explorer...strange because I thought it was a pretty popular model

[xlike]

Amazing thing. Definitly better than any current of those models out there!

[kramerica2]

Still suffers from the incorrect hand stack flaw... A deal breaker for some.

[Craig S]

I'd rather have an incorrect hand stack and a working watch than a modded movement.

[kramerica2]

Or a different watch that has neither....

[gmtlover]

Or a different watch that has neither....

Then you probably won't have a GMT hand either..considering you're talking a rep;-)

[Craig S]

I personally like this watch, and don't mind the incorect hand-stack. As long as the movement is stable, I'll be happy.

Has Angus mentioned when this is going to be available? I know it says "Novermber", but you know the score when it comes to proposed release dates.

[miagi]

that clasp is awesome!

agree with rather having ichs than a modified movement.

[gmtlover]

If it is as good as he andrew says it is, then we can expect something.

Especially him mentioning that this is only the sample, and that the final version will be even better.

Now my only fear is that it will be very high priced, $400 + I think.

[Craig S]

No chance I will be paying over $400 for a rep. Would rather save the money towards a gen of some description.

[gmtlover]

Still not for sale..:-(

[gmtlover]

now also available with a black dial.. but no price yet..

[gmtlover]

To fat?

The date wheel seems to be not centered? Is it me?

The "R" of ROLEXROLEX on the rehaut is not aligned at 9

It will be aligned on the final version. This is just the sample

I think that's one of the easiest mods you can do yourself right? The overal watch looks way better, better clasp, better bracelet, better lume

[brianmds]

Not sure if that was a joke as i'm not very handy with modding...Lol But as far as i know ive only seen the chrome skinny hour hands but never a black one yet

 

I do agree with you it's a beautiful watch. I could deal with the incorrect hand stack

Edited December 4, 2012 by brianmds

[gmtlover]

It wasn't a joke, but with a good how to, tools, patience and a steady hand everybody could do it. Or you just let someone else mod the watch for you ;-)

At least the watch is an improvement over the last one;-)

i got the real stuff and the SWISS MADE is off on the rep plus the number on the bezel look real bad to fat!

Thanks for the info! Can you make a fee pictures of your watch to show us the difference?
