Yeah I didn’t even know “Explorer shortage” was a thing until a friend casually mentioned a while back that he’d been enquiring about an EXP at various AD’s and couldn’t get one so wanted to see if I could help sort him out.

Mental!

Just went back in for a browse. Eavesdropping a bloke enquiring about a Sub date having his details taken and being told 18 month wait

Harrods had one a short while ago. Don’t think these are too much of a wait.

Yup. Looks like it might be a bit out of your way. Lovely part of the world, despite the reputation

There’s one in FH Stratford now.

In fact there’s a second one inside.

Is that 5000 pound including 20% sale tax of UK? That's cheaper with tax return if that's the case.

Chelmsford goldsmith's is five minutes walk from my house. I am impressed by the quantity of watches they have considering what I see reported on here regarding empty cases. I haven't ever seen hot models in the window but explorers yacht masters and air-kings are usually there. Also I have an acquaintance who brought a Daytona c black from them with no previous purchases. In my experience they are a delight to deal with.

I hadn’t seen one in London at an AD for at least six months, but managed to walk in off the street and get one in Friday night at Harrods.
