What to Check When Buying a Used Explorer II
- Bezel and case. The steel bezel shows scratches more easily than ceramic; heavy polishing reduces value.
- Box, papers and warranty date. A full set adds value and shows the purchase date.
- Time-zone setting. The hour hand should jump forwards and backwards independently of the 24-hour hand; our specialists test this.
