Need help with 2 explorer II's
Guys,
I'm new on here but considering this explorer II below. Looks good to me but wanted an experts eye ? Please view the second one as well I bought earlier this week but I am not a 100% happy with. thanks in advanced for the help Matt ![]() http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-Oyster-Per...item2eb293d233 I bought this one below but the second/hour/min hands are a different color than the hour markers and the buyer is giving me a refund. The 12:00 marker also appears to be about 1/64 off to the right? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT |

The first one with the box/paper looks pretty good. The date looks a bit small and that makes me suspect that the sapphire crystal may have been changed for an aftermarket replacement.
There are a few scratches on the bezel and it looks like it may well need to have a service. So you may wish to have regard to that/those costs. However overall not too bad. The second one looks very good and at that price it was a good buy. ![]()

Agree with Stevo on the 1st one the date doesnt look right.
Not sure about the 2nd one, The clasp looks wrong too me (but hay I am no expert and still learning)... Good luck and welcome to TRF ![]()

1st one date looks weird (maybe even the datewheel no good)
Option , have it serviced. 2nd one , hands don't match the dial but also sometimes the tritium doesn't age equally (decay starts from production) and a Exp2 doesn't have a divers extension. Option > sell the bracelet and buy a 78360 , then have it serviced with a new dial and bezel (to shiney) and you'll have a perfect watch Jack |

Took the 2nd one to the Stealer (dealer) today and everything checked out. I got an appraisal for $6600 for insurance purposes.
