New explorer 1 available from ad?

I am searching high and low for a new Explorer 1 and ask if anyone has seen the model in a AD window recently? If so I would be interested in purchasing one for day to day wear.

There was one spotted in the window of Goldsmith's in Chelmsford a couple of weeks ago but it is no longer there. Its not as hard to get as most other SS Sports, if I were you I'd visit local AD's and ask to be added to the list. Hopefully someone else may be able to guide you to one that is more easily available. Good luck

I use to see it in almost every AD in US, Mexico, Panama and Spain; but it seems that the UK drought is severe...

They aren't too hard too find. Most ADs just aren't putting them on display.

My AD in Northampton (Michael Jones) has a nearly new one in the window. £4700 I think from memory ..

You have over 4 years manufacturers warranty. Looks as new to me

Last time I checked (late Jan '19), Liverpool ADs DMR and goldsmiths both had one in their window display case as did Chester's Mapin and Web.

When I enquired about one last September (at local AD - DMR Liverpool) I had one within three days so shouldn't be a problem to source.

Good luck - it's a beauty

Do I sell my Bluesy 116613LB to find for Explorer 1 ??

Many thanks I’ve now tracked one down. The only dilemma is do I now sell my Bluesy to fund it?

I would not, but you are the one to make the ultimate decision!
