Good deal???
I've found a NIB Explorer II, Z series, for $4250.00 and no tax. You guys think that's a good buy? I think it is and am ready to pull the trigger...

There was one for sale in our forum for $2,900 earlier, about two weeks ago, in the same condition.
IMO these watches are not moving very well. Patience and you should find a better deal.. |

Yes, but it had been worn so it's not BNIB. So for a used one it didn't sound to bad!!! I'd say if you want the watch go for it.....

The seller (TRF member) was on leave in Baltimore, nearly unworn. I touched base with him. Makes you wonder about folks sometimes... He ended trading for a Datejust.

Deals are to had right not. At an AD where I was taking a look around just killing time they asked me how much I paid for my Z serial DD, and when I told them they didn't believe me. Bad thing is, I didn't even tell them the truth. I told them 6k more than I actually paid. Be patient, and find a motivated private seller if you want a steal. If you're dead set on NIB, you're going to limit your options but if that's what you want pull the trigger.

Agreed, for a USED one, that would be a no-brainer at $2900.

Best price I'd seen up until this morning, was $4695. We're talking about BNIB, to clarify.

Sounds like a good deal to me. That's almost 30% off with no tax. How you gonna beat that on a new watch when the dealers pay almost that much?

Mark, I think it's a good price. I do know where you can get a NIB for about $4100-$4150. Send me a PM if you're interested.
Which dial color are you going for? |

I have never seen some of the "low-ball" numbers and exotic discounts that some posters claim. It is definitely a regional thing............ and most of us don't have the time or resources to jet all over the world to save a few hundred bucks....... ...................

Mark, how come an explorer?
I am saving for a top shelf model, like a full gold GMT. Started charging extra for braces to fund the watch fund |
