it's out of my range of both taste and affordability......

Ineffective demand = not willing and not able to buy it.....

Shouldn't be hard at all. The white dial Exp-II are usually always in stock with the ADs.

Funny thing- I know the white dial Ex. ll is not hard to find, but I don't see that many people wearing them. Around here there are more Subs.

The Exp.ll could be the next big reverse -snob status symbol. I'm not kidding. I read that in the high powered N.Y.C. art world, the ultimate power watch is the black dial Air King with a black suit. It says "I don't need to impress anybody"... Weird, huh... Larry.

P.S. Maybe I need an Air King...

The white dial Exp-II is a very understated Rolex. Most people who buy Rolex perfer a black dial as a general rule of thumb.

The white dials are more popular among the full gold and TT models, especially the white dial with Romans which is extremely popular.
