I've found a NIB Explorer II, Z series, for $4250.00 and no tax. You guys think that's a good buy? I think it is and am ready to pull the trigger...

TimeToGo · 10 May 2009, 04:19 AM

There was one for sale in our forum for $2,900 earlier, about two weeks ago, in the same condition.

IMO these watches are not moving very well. Patience and you should find a better deal..

2th Dr · 10 May 2009, 04:24 AM

NIB Z series for $2900 ?? That almost sounds too good to be true!

TimeToGo · 10 May 2009, 04:28 AM

The seller (TRF member) was on leave in Baltimore, nearly unworn. I touched base with him. Makes you wonder about folks sometimes... He ended trading for a Datejust.

Yes, but it had been worn so it's not BNIB. So for a used one it didn't sound to bad!!! I'd say if you want the watch go for it.....

Chozn1 · 10 May 2009, 04:35 AM

Deals are to had right not. At an AD where I was taking a look around just killing time they asked me how much I paid for my Z serial DD, and when I told them they didn't believe me. Bad thing is, I didn't even tell them the truth. I told them 6k more than I actually paid. Be patient, and find a motivated private seller if you want a steal. If you're dead set on NIB, you're going to limit your options but if that's what you want pull the trigger.

2th Dr · 10 May 2009, 04:36 AM

Agreed, for a USED one, that would be a no-brainer at $2900.

2th Dr · 10 May 2009, 04:37 AM

Best price I'd seen up until this morning, was $4695. We're talking about BNIB, to clarify.

TimeToGo · 10 May 2009, 04:38 AM

You may also try a WTB, some of our folks here may be able to find you something good as well BNIB...

arkwhaler · 10 May 2009, 05:00 AM

Sounds like a good deal to me. That's almost 30% off with no tax. How you gonna beat that on a new watch when the dealers pay almost that much?

jdc · 10 May 2009, 05:25 AM

very good deal

ijen0311 · 10 May 2009, 05:59 AM

Mark! You are moving too fast!

Is it the white dial?

kcmo · 10 May 2009, 06:10 AM

Mark, I think it's a good price. I do know where you can get a NIB for about $4100-$4150. Send me a PM if you're interested.

Which dial color are you going for?

Not bad for a brand new one.......hopefully, if it's the white dial.

That's a very good deal....

I have never seen some of the "low-ball" numbers and exotic discounts that some posters claim.

It is definitely a regional thing............ and most of us don't have the time or resources to jet all over the world to save a few hundred bucks.......

2th Dr · 10 May 2009, 08:59 AM

then yes, you should buy the EXP-II. And maybe some more...

As a dentist, you should have the white dial for sure. It looks like a nice shiny tooth!

2th Dr · 10 May 2009, 09:09 AM

Ah, never thought about that Jen! Good point! Thanks.
Just what I needed, more motivation to buy another one!

don't blame me! I know you don't need a reason! You're sick like the rest of us!

Aaaanyway, it is a good deal. I saw a pre-loved (but mint) white Expy at my AD today and it was more than that. So I say

B Square · 10 May 2009, 09:15 AM

Good price Mark. My AD's best price was $4800 out the door for M serial...

2th Dr · 10 May 2009, 01:10 PM

Thanks for all the input guys and gals! I appreciate it!!!

drtooth73 · 12 May 2009, 11:47 PM

Mark, how come an explorer?
I am saving for a top shelf model, like a full gold GMT. Started charging extra for braces to fund the watch fund

2th Dr · 12 May 2009, 11:56 PM

Bill, I already have 4 Rollies. I'm not really interested in buying the most expensive models. I mean, if I wanted to, I could (the combined retail value of the four I have is almost $40k), but I would rather have a variety, and I like the idea of having an Explorer II for a beater. Know what I mean?
