Z-Serial Explorer I has CRB?
Hello everyone..
I am looking to buy a new Z-serial Explorer I. Does it have the new CRB? If it does, can somebody post some close-up shots? Thanks! |

I was looking for a Explorer I as well. I didn't see any CRB on the z-Explorers...

Me neither! As far as I know, the only current Rolex watches without CRB are the SD and Explorer ("1").

I hope not! I hope it is just a sign that Rolex wants to leave the design of those two classic tool watches alone.

Z-Serial Explorer I has CRB?
I have seen both the Explorer and Explorer II, with the CRB. Saw then in November last year...
To sidetrack a little, prices for the SD in Singapore has increased, without any discount. I bought mine for $6650 last year. The list price was $7700. Currently, it costs about $8200, without discount! Got to know this, the last time I made a trip to my AD. Bo is right. The SD is the only (should I say the last?) model without the CRB... |

Really?? That's interesting! Thanks for the heads up! I guess the SD is the only one left without CRB then!

Yeah, SD is the special one, right? The only one (now two...with Milgauss) have engraving in the caseback.
By the way I think I wanna buy that Explorer 1 with CRB, what do you think Bo? |

Kinda surprised to hear that the SD is the only model left without the CRB.
