I wonder why the black dial is so much less popular than the white dial.

Grey market prices have almost parity with RRP, which is a plus!

While in Vegas, I visited every Rolex shop, but no one had any new stock, just presentation pieces. I was added to their wait lists, knowing that if/when they called, I would have to fly into Vegas within 2 days to make the required in-person purchase.
Fast forward now to last Friday: my local AD called to offer me a new black Explorer II, which I picked up yesterday...after being on their wait list for only 2 months.
Last night I placed the watch on the night stand next to my bed to check the Chromalight glow, which was still going strong this morning.
So, I was not lucky in Vegas, but I sure hit the jackpot back home!

Congrats!

I also had luck with an Explorer I in Vegas. Seems like it’s the pro move to get on the waitlist for the non-gaudy pieces as they’re not as often requested there

Congrats OP!

New watch in old box is bad luck... j/k
Congrats ! Such an awesome reference and the very definition of Rolex tool watch.
Now get out to the Kula Kai caverns and lave tubes!

Big congratulations, IMHO it’s such an underrated watch!
