New Explorer II 42mm is now in Calgary!
Good Day All,

I just tried on a new Explorer II (42mm) Black Dial at my local AD in Calgary.

It was already pre-sold.

Just wanted to let you know.

Take care,

Eric

I think I will pass, I just did not feel the love. I also find the case a bit big for the size of the bracelet, but that is just me. I would like to see the white dial also, the black is all they have.

That is exactly what I was afraid of. The case and lugs appear to be significantly bigger and without upsizing the bracelet a hair, I was curious if this would be something I would notice/conclude. This was one of the main reasons I sold off my Deepsea.

Have I not read on this Forum that indeed the bracelet is a hair larger at 21mm vs. 20mm on the last iteration? ?

$8610 with GST for those who have to have one right now...

List price was $6870 (CAD) a year ago May before negotiating a nice discount.....I wonder how long before the next price increase hits this model..?

No, just one back watch that was already pre-paid for by a client.

They have a waiting list and people that pre-paid for them already so it could be up to a year before they have one to sell that is not spoken for.

Hi Eric,
