Hi everyone
Does anyone have a good idea when the new Explorer II will be available?
I have fallen out of favor with my GMT II and sold (feels rash but done to fund a return to Exp)
Was going to get one in Feb and read new one likely
Don't think I can last too long even though the liquid metal looks great
Do you think Switzerland/Geneva will have it earlier as flying through in May
Any tips welcome thanks and also thoughts on price
Cheers

They should be on sale late in the Summer or in the early Fall - September or October most likely.....with you on the new Expy II for sure, especially the black face!!

Cheers - any chance it would be available in Switzerland earlier as flying to Geneva in May

Wish you luck, and hopefully you can secure one as soon as possible.

Expect waiting list for the first 6 months

i'd wait 'till xmas time when the hype and premiums have died down, then buy a grey at a discount

I was at the new Rolex boutique at the Tourneau Time Machine and the Manager told me November.

The new models usually are usually out in late August to September...as for prices check the earlier threads as someone has already posted the new prices!!!

Doubtful. As mentioned most likely Summer in Europe and Fall in the US. There will probably be waiting lists in bigger markets.

With you on the most-impatient-list

Already did a tour of all Geneva ADs: all said "July/Aug, but you know it is summer holidays, so better plan for September"

Judging from Zenith last year - they announced the Captain in Basel, first watches were available for sale October, I think this is a common flaw of Swiss watchmakers... they take their time

My local AD said 18 months. Supposedly it takes 14 months to hand craft every explorer 2
