New EXP II makes for a classic Pair

As planned the EXP II - polar was purchased on Saturday :joyCentral - Hong Kong) at a great price (12% off retail) and time, as I am informed by more than a few AD’s that the prices here will soon be going up again.

Anyway as posted on some other threads, my son (Tristan- 1yr old) pictured here will inherit the new EXP when he’s 21 while his sister (Skyla – 3 yr old) is having the SS Sub date when she turns the same age.

So best I enjoy the heck out these and look for #3 for planned kid #3 and then finally #4 for myself in my 50’s. The wife say’s she does not want one…..time will tell.

Pictures not great but better than nothing I hope.

Welcome to TRF, Dylan. Two superb watches, both with different functions and very practical.

Nice pictures...hope you enjoy your stay on TRF. Personally, I've been to Hong Kong several times. What a vibrant and exciting city!!

Thnaks JJ, it was your recent EXP II review that sealed the deal for EXP II, so thank you for that.

Yep Hong Kong is full of life and the place you live aint too bad either

Sure can Rob,

I did not know you were a fan too, how long have you been under the spell and what watch or watches do you own to date?

I need to be careful as I dont wish for any AD's loosing their license on my behalf.

Let's just say that most Hong Kong dealers I have gone into have offered some type of better than RRP. The prices just went up by around 3-5% on all sports watches but I still belive Hong Kong is great place to shop for a Rolex if you are in town.

Hope that kinda helps

Hi guys, how long is the waiting list for the GMT Master 2 these days?
Can you get discount off from the dealers?
Any feedback would be good.

Cheers
