i saw a few people in sg-roc offloading Rolex Explorer II with pinhole and no pinholes

example like this:
Welcome to Singapore Horology Club / Singapore Rolex Owners Club (SG-ROC)

Explorer II / Black
16570 / F Series * WITHOUT Pin Hole.

With :
* Total 12 links.
* In-House Warranty till 31st May 2014.
* Trade-in Scheme less 15%.
* Buy-back Scheme less 20%.
* Fitted Box.
* Instruction Booklet.

Asking : $5,200 Nego but be gentle.

tbh, I think both versions are nice but just want to know which version has higher market value. Pin hole or no pinhole?

Are there any trustable USA online stores for watches? Would like to ask my fren to help me hoot when he goes there.

got one or two pelagos on sale on forums now....got bnib and also got used one. Last time i asked at dickson, the retail some say $5500 some say $5800, some say got 10% discount, some say no discount cos popular model haha, basically different branch give me different answer lor.

Anyway i think tudor pelagos buy new from AD here is very not worth it plus i get very upset when price varies from same dealer, better to buy lightly used one. Unless you are very tight with your AD who can give you a good price.

i went hkg the price also quite controlled. think maybe cheaper from europe side. but heard for the 2 tudors, price already went upwards, need confirmation though..
