Explorer 2 chances.

[winfieldblue]

So, I’ve decided I love the Explorer 2. I was offered the black in Florence recently but since I was not able to get the tax refunded as I wasn’t exiting the EU on a flight, I passed. Now I’m back home and actively trying to acquire this watch. Black or white, I’m not fussed (though the white would be my pick). I think this is a nicer looking watch than the GMT which I was coveting.
My question is: how popular are these watches? To wit, how long realistically could I be waiting?
I note the grey market price isn’t great, so does this lower the AD game since they won’t be looking to capitalise on the premium a Pepsi or Starbucks could get?

FYI, I’m wearing a Wimbledon DJ41 evenings and the no date Sub during the days. The Explorer 2 would become my daily.
