locutus49 · 31 October 2015, 05:24 AM

Daytona

997.2 · 31 October 2015, 05:36 AM

Doesn't really matter

I think either will suit the job

In this case, I say go with the Explorer II for Halloween since it has black and orange.

That wasn't me. That was engraved by the factory for the 22 Special Air Service Rgt in the UK. Rolex made 100 of them for active serving members of the Rgt and they also engraved the case back with the winged Dagger badge if the regiment as well as the troopers ZAP svc number.

nick c · 31 October 2015, 06:12 AM

Daytona for sure

sickened1 · 31 October 2015, 06:19 AM

Daytona! Just finished watching "The Gift" and Jason Bateman was wearing the same thing (Daytona black dial).

I'd never heard of this, but that's really cool!

Think we've been through this on numerous threads here. Pretty sure Rolex didn't engrave the back and side. But was done by a 3rd party.

Do you/did you serve with the SAS? Cool if you did, otherwise hope you didn't pay a premium for the watch.

I know this has been on other threads but your information is wrong...the engraving was in fact all done by Rolex at home. The warranty card comes from Rolex London and not an AD. Rolex has made other limited editions including a DSSD for the Royal Navy Clearance Diving branch, the 'Octopus' Sommazatori, and for the SRR. All of these watches were modified by Rolex in Geneva. This follows in the tradition of COMEX issue watches. All trade at a premium. I am a big military history buff as well as a watch collector and thought it was a great blend of both as well as being basically under the radar. I own a COMEX as well and am not a saturation diver either. I have shown this watch to some active and former military personnel here in the states and they thought it was cool and wished Rolex had done something like that for their unit. I wear it for what it is, in my opinion, a cooler and rarer version of what's out there. As far as premium paid, I paid less than the numbers they are fetching at auction, which is a hefty premium. A premium that given the history of who it was initially made for and given the detail of the work as well as the small number made seems entirely justified. That's the beauty of this game...to each their own.

Rolex London is an AD.

It was covered here, so no need to repeat.

The obvious difference between the Comex, the Italian police SD, the Panama Canal Submariner and this Exp2 (and the Seaking GMT 11) is that Rolex modifies the dial and not the caseback.

Those are the type of watches you can't sell

Um...how about a HALOWEEN COSTUME??????

The poll is closed. I would have given a slight edge to the EXP because of the bit of orange. Otherwise, it's pretty much a toss up.
