The 5 digit ExpII haven't dropped in price so not sure about that comment.. If you comparing preowned 5 digit (since they were discontinued many years ago) to brand new AK, then they have always been cheaper, but definitely starting to catch up rather than dropping.

For me the ExpII has 2 extra complications that are very useful. The AK dial also seems way to cluttered for me with no extra complications. I would choose the ExpI over AK if I was looking for a time only watch.
