Explorer 2 216570 in AD

I am looking for an Explorer 2 216570 white, anyone know of one in stock in an AD. I have found a black one but don’t like it as much. The dealer said there is a 4 to 6 month waiting list for a new one if I’m lucky.
I have found a 2014 for 5.5k is that reasonable?

If anything, the ExpII is the one SS model you can find at most ADs. They’re literally everywhere still. 4-6 mo. waiting period is ridiculous on this model IMO.

I'm guessing Wedders is in the UK. The wait there is real.

Is retail not 5950gbp on a new one?

Here's a brand new one, in stock, from a reputable grey, in UK so it includes VAT, for 5563gbp. I found this within 2 minutes, so I'm sure there's even more deals to be had.

https://www.chrono24.co.uk/rolex/oys...-id4937038.htm

Why in the world would you wait, to pay more? This is not a 'rare' piece, in any sense of the word.

and 5.5k USD is fine. If you're saying pounds, that's insane.

Note to anyone looking for a watch at an AD, your country location and a currency symbol would be very helpful.

I'm a little shocked if there is now a waiting list for the Explorer II Polar. I try not to look in AD's too often but when I do it's always there, without fail.

Great choice by the way, I love this watch and hope to one day own one.

Do not pay that for a 2014 Explorer unless it’s NOS.

Picked up a new Explorer II Polar on Tuesday from the local AD. No waiting list, walked in and purchased it.

From what I hear, the Explorer II is available at most AD’s in Europe.

What, you don’t like my reply to save you 400gbp on a brand new one and have it in the next couple of days? No worries, guess you want to pay 10% more and go with an AD.

I see these In about every AD window.
You shouldn’t ever wait for an EXP22. A little travel around a few ADs will find one no bother.

You’ll probably find an AD who’s greatful for you to take one lol :) I’d even ask for a small discount - you might not get but worth asking on a model like this.

Do ADs in the UK offers discounts on this piece? The local boutiques here (Kuwait & Dubai) don't budge from the listed price.

I'm looking for get one soon and am visiting London. So was wondering if I should wait and get it there.
