one of the few Rolex-es that i think is better bought pre-owned than new if you do not mind.

the resale value is taking such a beating that it's kinda attractive especially the white face.

That's what am thinking.
How much do you think is the reasonable price for a 2001 A series with black dial?

Hi Berg,
That's one cool looking Expy II.  :thumbsup: I've always felt that the white face version is more dressy and your wrist shot has just affirmed that.

 :Cheers:

Its size is just right for my 6.5" wrist. Its height is really nice and not that tall. I am now know why the cyclops is useful, I start having presbyopia and making me reading small wording kinda difficult. The bracelet is thin and it's links are not shaking when your hands are moving.

I flipped an Eii earlier the year. I believed that Eii's are easy flips as they carry the brand name, comes as a lower entry price than Subs, yet carry a GMT or daylight complication. Earlier on, I thought that the Eii at the newer 42mm size was decidedly more modern, but I have grown to appreciate the classic size before the increase. But the bracelets seemed to be more solid with the modern ones.

I agree with you with regards to the newer bracelets. While I love the size and case of the 5 digit references, I simply can't get past the "lighter" feeling bracelets and clasps. I know that they are time proven and are as solidly built as they come. I just love the clasps of the newer 6 digit references, and the convenience of having an easy link to immediately adjust your bracelet on the fly if you travel to a much colder country. That's just me though...

I bought the Black Eii as my other Rollie sport watch was sporting a Green dial. Actually I flipped a Black LN for the Green LV, so you could say that with the Black Eii, I was going back to black. Anyway, thereafter flipped the Eii and moved onto the SDC Black. If I get another Eii in future, I would try the Polar Express.
