Are they out yet? Or is the Z serial still in production?

SPACE-DWELLER · 6 November 2007, 04:37 AM

I believe there was a member here stating he just got an M-series Explorer II??

Do they now come with the CRB inscription, Bo?

Apparently there is someone here who has one and yes it does have the CRB according to their post.

I remember that, also. There was a picture of it posted as well, I believe.

Not sure about that. I just remember having seen a post about an M-serial Explorer II.

Who WAS that?!

Thanks for the replies. I wonder if I should insist on getting a M serial or not. From the postings here, the only difference I saw between a Z and a M is the CRB and the CC certificate... Does the serial number really matter if one day I decide to sell the watch?

Well, I'd say that getting an Explorer II with the OLD-style COSC paperwork and a specimen WITHOUT the CRB would give you a better resale value in the long run than getting an Explorer II with the CCCC and CRB.

Some collectors (MOST, actually) like Rolex the old-fashioned way.

My friend got a new one last week and he did not get the CRB. Did not have the heart to tell him that he should have got a better deal as it was not the current model.

I'd much rather have the latest and greatest. I'm not really concerned with the investment value of the Exp II

Thanks, David!

I just got a phone call from the Ben Bridge sales rep I talked to the other day while looking for my Explorer II. He found one with a M serial and CRB. I told him I was going to go with another AD that was willing to discount. He sounded upset and said thank you and immediately hang up...

Hopefully the AD that I'll be buying from will have one with a M serial and CRB. I like the latest and greatest too but I don't know if it's going to be worth the $800 or so difference that I'll be getting by going to this AD in LA.

Does the Chapter Ring Branding mean the inner circle with ROLEXROLEXROLEX all around it?
