Some interesting recent acquisitions...
Hi all,
Recently, I've been learning more about vintage sport rolexes and have purchased a few nice examples. However, what started it was a desire to get a 'sort of vintage' 16550 cream dial explorer 2. Suffice it to say, I've been distracted and had gone down the gilt direction until I saw a fantastic example of a 5512 4 line matte dial that I couldn't resist... And then, as luck would have it... a 16550 came along... while it is not so creamy, there was one consolation --- it was signed by Tiffany & Co. Please enjoy along with a couple of other favorites. Many thanks to T, A, P, K, J, & co...

My favorite is the 5508 but the close 2nd would be the explorer 2 prototype. I have a coupl of other vintage pieces that wld be right up there too. My 5513/1675 gilt dials are awesome. Thx. OpC
Explorer II with nipple dial?
Is that original? Never seen one before. Nice additions. :-)
Thx
The explorere 2 is a prototype dial. It is well documented in a couple of rolex books. Best,OpC
Hello...
... very interesting, could you tell something more about this "prototype" dial ? what about the 'T swiss T " at 6 hours? In your opinion, what age is it? ps: have you got any picture of the retro of this dial? thanks in advance ;)
