Explorer 2 to sell or to wait?

Hi Guys,
Im looking at consolidating my collection and want to become a one watch guy so this might entail selling my explorer 2 white face -2003.
Rumours of new model exp 2 next year any thoughts on whether to wait until then ( if it is likely to appreciate in value etc ) any thoughts here ?

there are loads of Exp IIs around and they would take time to really appreciate in value..

yours must be a Y or F so you probably paid around £2.5K for it - depending on the condition of it you should at least be able to get that for it.

i'm an Exp II owner myself and I absolutely love the watch. most versatile and understated watch in the whole range..

if i were you i wouldn't sell it, it's a real keeper

Do not sell if you do not need the money directly.

there are a lot of Exp II with 3185 movement out there.

the series with 3186 will more likely be sought after before the rest of the Exp II

I had it, I sold it, and I hate myself ever since!
I would keep that great tool watch and proudly wear it every day!

Tricky one. Suppose it depends, at least partly, on whether a new version will be introduced come 2011. And that we know very little about in fact. I'd probably keep it unless I needed the money right now.
