That means you cannot get any discount for the 2016 version and I wonder whether the 2015 and backward version would have any discount.

Today actually I have no intention to buy, but I went to AD nearby my office to check whether the new Explorer has arrived.. And actually they have it! The only one available (the new model has not been available in every AD yet, because this AD is boutique exclusive and the largest in Asia, the somehow have it)

In the end I paid the full price without any discount, since It is still rare here.. But its worth every single cent I spent.. Hopefully this watch will be my long last companion.. Thanks everyone for reading this!!
Congrats, it's a fine looking time piece . We're still waiting for it to arrive to Sydney AD.

May I ask what is your wrist size.

I have small wrist, around 16cm/ 6.3 inches, and this 39mm explorer suits me just nice. I think it would look nice also on bigger wrists

Congrats on a fantastic first Rolex. I picked up the new reference EXP1 myself just last week to add to my collection. I like it much more than I had expected. Enjoy it in good health.
