Help with explorer 2 purchase
Hello guys, I’m considering buying a 2018 full set 216570 black dial privately online, but the minute hand is marked?
My question is would alarm bells be ringing, what would you do? Thanks. |

The reason why I’m interested is it’s a reasonable price

Move along. There are plenty out there that aren’t “marked.”

I would not take a risk on it, no matter how good the price.
There are plenty around. |

Any doubt, i would move on. Not worth the great deal if you dont feel completely confident in what you're getting.

Seems like one of the tells on even the best fakes are subpar hands. I would proceed with great caution.

If you’re not comfortable walk away from it, obviously if you’re here asking then you’re not comfortable with the deal.

Neah. That means watch has been opened and monkeyed around! Warranty would most likely be void!
This is a new watch so it shouldn't be.

I would pass. Alarm bells are ringing. There are a few black Ex 2s for sale with full kits in the U.K at the moment. Kensington Gate Watches and Mark Worthington both have one.
