No more words are needed.... I am so in love with that one... Best, Nicolas ...  

Extremely satisfying, rich, creamy dial and the

contrast with the cool steel is almost erotic I think. Lovely watch for sure! Cheers Marc

Almost? No! Totally erotic! Thanks, Marc.

You're right, I was being extra cautious here, this

How old is this Explorer mon ami.? 😅

 
 By: geross : October 1st, 2021-07:10
Looks good and charming. Really a cool watch. 👍 Geross.

Form 1984, if my memory serves me well.

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2021-14:43

Lovely creamy dial!

 
 By: joenghenry : October 1st, 2021-07:27

Merci, mon ami.

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2021-14:43

Fantastic idea😁

 
 By: Reuven Malter : October 1st, 2021-07:32

Thanks, Reuven.

I love it !

I hope to find one nice in future

I ma keeping my eyes open for you, but I must say that it is not an easy bird to catch... I mean finding a nice one!

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2021-15:01

I don't think it gets any better than this!

 
 By: aperna : October 1st, 2021-08:25

Merci, Tony.

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2021-15:01

There is absolutely no way it gets any better!

 
 By: JackMcLaessig : October 1st, 2021-08:33

My favorite modern Explorer II, even if this one is almost in the vintage camp.

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2021-15:02

Soooooo nice! Love this one.

 
 By: RabidManatee : October 1st, 2021-09:34

Thanks, my friend.

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2021-15:02

Fire! As kids these days would say :-)

 
 By: Echi : October 1st, 2021-10:13

Good one! ;)

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2021-15:02

That’s a lot of vintage character right there!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : October 1st, 2021-11:23

Yes, the best of both words, like the 666.

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2021-15:03

:-)))

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : October 1st, 2021-16:43

Really clever idea with the matchsticks. Well done!

 
 By: BigFatPauli : October 1st, 2021-12:01
But I have to wonder about the watches to see... Do your friends actually wear their watches or just "look after them for the next generation"?

This one is mine, and yes, I wear it. Most often in summer.

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2021-15:03

You, Sir, are much kinder to your watches than I :)

 
 By: BigFatPauli : October 1st, 2021-15:24

Well the only issue of this watch ( and all the Explorer II ) is the bezel. You have to be very careful as they are true scratch magnets.

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2021-15:27

great watch & great shot

 
 By: psfparis : October 1st, 2021-12:31

One of the best looking dial

 
 By: AlfaQ4 : October 1st, 2021-12:57

Very subtle and charming, indeed.

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2021-15:23

Merci, Pierre.

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2021-15:23

Wow Nicolas, never seen such a beautiful, creamy-ivory dial.

 
 By: Bobbe : October 1st, 2021-13:57

Next time you come, I will show it to you.

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2021-15:23

Another great reason to visit Paris, thanks my friend.

 
 By: Bobbe : October 1st, 2021-15:56

Definitely, if you needed some. :)))

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2021-16:07

You got me there 😜

 
 By: Bobbe : October 1st, 2021-16:20

;)

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2021-17:15

She is a real beauty. I remember this watch well.

 
 By: Bill : October 1st, 2021-14:42

I had it on my wrist last time we met!

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2021-14:43

A real beauty my friend !!!

 
 By: pastaboy1939 : October 1st, 2021-15:58

Merci beaucoup, Pasta.

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2021-16:17

One of my favorite Rolex models! Great shot.

 
 By: DarrenKats : October 1st, 2021-16:12

Thanks, Darren.

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2021-16:17

Careful with the matches, that explorer is so HOT, it may start a fire!

 
 By: ZSHSZ : October 1st, 2021-16:58

Indeed, very hot!

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2021-17:16

This is an exceptional composition, brilliant

 
 By: csbracc : October 1st, 2021-17:11
That watch is a beauty, it goes without saying

Merci!

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2021-17:16

IMO - the cream dial Explorer II is the best of the Explorers. Just beautiful.

 
 By: BigAppleBill : October 1st, 2021-18:04
Ironic that what Rolex considered a materials flaw, we collectors consider a thing of such beauty.😍

Yes, very ironic. I prefer saying that some accidents are great, sometimes.

 
 By: amanico : October 1st, 2021-20:40

That’s a special EXP II

 
 By: nasseriq : October 2nd, 2021-06:21

Thank you, I. I owned another one, which was one of my first Rolex, by the way, and I sold it. I felt the miss, ad some three years after, around 2008, I found this one, in almost immaculate condition.

 
 By: amanico : October 2nd, 2021-08:07

A real gem....you must show me next time!

 
 By: halkcb : October 2nd, 2021-08:17

With great pleasure!

 
 By: amanico : October 2nd, 2021-08:45

This dial is special mon ami. I don't own an Explorer of any kind but if I did, I would most likely hunt for one of these 😁😜

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : October 4th, 2021-14:13

How I understand you. Good luck, mon ami.

 
 By: amanico : October 4th, 2021-16:04

LOL, I knew you would 😉

 By: amanico : October 5th, 2021-05:20

Nice shot, my friend!

 
 By: chronos-lorien : October 4th, 2021-15:54

My pleasure. Thank you, mon ami.

 
 By: amanico : October 4th, 2021-16:05

Breathtaking dial my friend!! This is the perfect 16550…

 
 By: Subexplorer : October 7th, 2021-19:27
… panna dial. A dream of watch!! Keep loving and enjoying it so much my dear Nicolas! Abel

Mil gracias, amigo mio.

 
 By: amanico : October 7th, 2021-21:39

Siempre mi placer mi amigo Nicolas!
