While reading a few of the pre-Basel predictions on the site it occurred to me that I'd not seen an advert for the Explorer II in National Geographic for a while. Checked back and no Exp II adds for over a year - so naturally I thought that an Exp II update might be on the cards.....

What's in the latest issue of National Geographic?

Yep, a two-page Exp II advert!

I think Rolex just like playing with us!

I think there was one two months ago....white EXP II.

I guess the ads are probably different in UK and US editions then. Only Rolex add this year, apart from the Exp II in April, has been a YM ad in the March edition.

I think you might be reading a little far into it to be honest.

Only meant it in a half serious way - but if the bods in charge of running Rolex ads do monitor fora like this then you can half imagine them having a laugh with when certain ads run...

Rolex has always enjoyed being secretive. They like to keep people guessing!!!

There's been Rolex ads in nearly every months issue of Geographical magazine. But, then again, Rolex are corporate benefactros of the Royal Geographical Society
