They've got one of each for not much above list but They were bought from an AD in Malta. What's going on Malta receiving them before the U.K

EchoBlueUK · 4 November 2011, 06:37 AM

I saw one in a UK AD window this morning. They are now available for RRP £5530.

pp763 · 4 November 2011, 06:40 AM

Thanks for the info. In an AD window as well!

EchoBlueUK · 4 November 2011, 06:47 AM

Yep. Here she was next to her predecessor. Sorry for the low res pic.

pp763 · 4 November 2011, 06:50 AM

Wow, brilliant selection, even a steel sub. Where was this if I might ask? Wasn't in stratford was it?

ChuckFinlay · 4 November 2011, 06:54 AM

IMO they're already struggling, on one forum one isn't moving at £5100....I am going to wait for EJ to get mine in, so I get 10% off, anything more is too much of a gamble IMO.

pp763 · 4 November 2011, 06:56 AM

I've said this countless times but get it from Jersey or Guernsey for near 20 percent off. Thats just above 4 and a half k

I tried an AD there, but they wouldn't post, and it was going to be a few bob to get over there, which ate into the difference, taking it nearer to a VAT paid UK watch from Ernest Jones.

Hmm, why are the customers on Malta less deserving than ones in the UK?

Lol-x · 4 November 2011, 07:10 AM

He didn't mention anything about being 'less deserving'.

I wondered the same.

They are in my local AD's window too. Didn't realise they are scarce - they've had them for some time I think..

ChuckFinlay · 4 November 2011, 07:17 AM

Anyone know of an EJ with one then

Thanks mate, desperate for a black one <£5K

CEG · 4 November 2011, 07:36 AM

I would think these will be sub 5k very shortly...

SC11 · 4 November 2011, 07:51 AM

Time squared or whatever it's called at Westfield white city had one in the window nearly two weeks ago.

Hopefully :) Did you go for white or black?

esm · 4 November 2011, 08:04 AM

For some reason, I don't think this one will do well at all.
A pre owned one sold for £5100 last week, and there is another one advertised for £5150... Soon it'd be buy one and get one free at your nearest Rolex ADs... :lol;

(the £5530 MSRP was taking the p!ss IMO

)

White for me! :-)

FremStar · 4 November 2011, 08:05 AM

Wow! I am surprised that the Americas MSRP is favorable compared to our European counterparts where the price is over $8k usd after exchange rate conversion... Kind of makes me feel like I got a deal! Anyway I am certain that my 216570 would cost close to $7k on the secondary market when the excitement slows down and folks start to flip. In my book this one is a keeper... Who knows I may add the white dial later on down the line...

This one isnt selling well at all is it....
PlEnty around and way below msrp

Interesting... Which Rolex timepieces are selling like hotcakes now? I am genuinely curious. Thanks in advance Puffy!

PeterT · 4 November 2011, 08:30 AM

Tonight I went to see the black dial I ordered after the Basel show and I walked away without it.
I need to see it in daylight as the harsh shop lighting does it no favours.

not in those words but certainly one possible interpretation.

It just has to be the SS GMTIIc and the SS Sub-C

Time2time · 4 November 2011, 01:25 PM

Mate of mine got his back in August and loves it.

I don't care for it much. Not the best looking model IMHO.

Me likey the display items! I have been on a rampage scooping up all kinds of Roldeco stuff!!! Its awesome! THanks for the pic

OrangeSport · 4 November 2011, 10:46 PM

Looked in EJ in Southend today. Explorer IIs, both black and white faces, are in the window for £4550. But looking at the picture in this thread (above), I wonder if they could be an older model. That picture also seems to have them at that price, and says "Here she was next to her predecessor". Have they gone from 40 to 42 or something?

pp763 · 5 November 2011, 01:06 AM

The customers are not less deserving in any country to answer the easily offended and quick to jump in. If I said Malta was great I'd be a lier on the other hand.

I reckon you could get a flight to Guernsey or Jersey for under a hundred return and the saving is near a thousand so have a look into it. Unless you are getting a discount from EJ of course. Of course you would have to smuggle it through customs to save on it, but I'm not suggesting that, wink wink.

All the best

Paul.
