Discount for BLNR is unlikely unless you go grey.

Kop before current models MSRP increase and GST.



First thoughts: Understated, less bulk and in a way more subtle and refined than the current ceramic bezel models. Fine example of the tool watches Rolex is known for. I can see this as my everyday watch while the GMT2 will be out for more special occasions.

My thoughts were for the 16570 Exp2 (bought pre-owned). The new version is larger case (2mm), topping the Sub/GMT2 so not really sure if it's as subtle as the old model. Nonetheless, it has a striking dial indeed. If I remember correctly only 3 models come in white dials: Exp2, Milgauss and Daytona.

Enjoy your polar!

Not normal definitely. If you bought it from AD, I guess it's a matter of sending it back. How did you miss it in the first place? Looks very obvious from the pictures.

18k - 20k should get you a fine pre-owned piece. In fact, not far off for the newer ceramic bezel model as well (pre-owned prices). Pre-owned 114060 should be within this range.

You should have it wound. Probably not fully wound up hence stopped before max power reserve.

^I would think not as changing straps does not affect the movement.

^I doubt Everest straps are meant to fit vintage DJ. Any other generic strap would be ok e.g. Hirsch, Hadley Roma etc as long as the lug width is correct.

Don't know about Malaysia but in some countries the manufacturer can only suggest a MSRP and cannot dictate retail prices or they risk flaunting anti-monopoly / anti-trust laws. So there must be some leeway in terms of discount.

Just speaking in general of course, perhaps someone can advise if this is applicable to the watch retail segment.

A Tudor President? What made you attracted to this particular model?

Because China has a ridiculous luxury tax and the exchange rate benefits.

Explorer 1, Oysterquartz. Cellini of course but that was never their mainstream as a 'tool watch' maker.
