Rolex Explorer II - Black Dial - The NoobFactory one

The Rolex Explorer II Black Dial "Noob"

 

Dear All,

 

We are all hunting for the best possible copy of these legendary watches.

When it comes to Rolex it is really a full time job.

We have our trusted dealers, our specialised dealers, our favourite modders…

We are insane sometime.

 

So, please bear in mind I'm into vintage watches in general and vintage Rolex particularly.

I am in no way saying this is the best out of the box, the ultimate or whatever.

 

I was simply willing to expand my "modern Rolex" collection.

 

About the deal

 

I am not a regular customer of Narika.

I now that he travels a lot and I understand that when he is back in EU watches are available.

So I asked for the Explorer II and the YachtMaster.

When Narika came back down here I had to pay 60£ to get this watch.

Yup, 60£/83€/124$.

So please bear in mind we are looking at a NOOB factory watch which is cheap, very cheap!

 

Delivery

 

Once the watches were in his possession in EU, I got a PM saying it left.

That was Monday.

On Wednesday I got them at my place.

 

Packing the watches

 

I received an incredibly safe pack in which the watches were wrapped in a Jiffy and each watch was in a pouch, sealed in plastic from the factory, with bezel protection.

No scratches whatsoever.

 

Shipping costs and pmt fees

 

Shipping costed me 6£

Pmts fees: they were included.

 

So, how does it look

 

Like this ;)

Am I happy or am I scammed?

 

Come on, this is a beauty.

The bezel is cool, the cyclop is not too far right, the crown guards can be modified …

It looks fine now, but it could look much better with a little help from my friends!

 

For this kind of money, it's a pleasure.

 

My conclusion

 

I didn't see an Explorer II for 18 months.

I love it.

Sincerely, I ordered this to complete my modern collection but I do like it so much that I could hunt a genuine one day.

 

 :yeah:

 

That is all for now folks.

 

Cheers

 

Stephane

Great looking Exp. I have just received a TAG from Narikaa, and was very impressed with the quality and service too. I love that Explorer. Good choice and great price!

Slarti, I'm interested in that Tag from Narikaa. Can you post any pics?

I'm also now interested in the ExpII thanks to Stephane. You people will send me to the poorhouse!!

Look very good for that price!! is this the same quality as the noob marina would you say?

Well, I recently answered a PM saying that at the end of the day it's more "are you happy with your purchase" than "how accurate it is".

What I mean is that on this one, I would maybe shave the CG but the rest doesn't botter me.

I think it's the same quality as the Noob Submariner...with some mods it could be very accurate.

But I really bought it to get a nice ExplorerII "right out of the box" not to make it a super modded Rolex.

@all, thanks for your feedback.

Cheers

Stephane
