Rolex

A very nice example of the 1655

The bezel would be a MK2. MK the numbers are close to the inner edge. MK3 the font is thinner.

I think the Bezel matches the dial. The dial has the crown with the little droop and the yellow patina serial range +/- 3mil - 5 mil. Could wider on both side of the range just a small guide line for you.

Nice look with the strap.

Wear it in good health.

I must say that I love a lot the idea of a 1655 as a first Vintage Rolex, when most go for a Sub, or a GMT. Bravo! Best, Nicolas

I love the tritium patina on this one. The combo is awesome. I love such straps on 1655's, here my rail dial ...

Hi..mr.Strong

Honestly speaking,I like your 1655 more....its looks very clean and sharp. Is the dial and hands original to the watch?

Yes

By: DrStrong : March 13th, 2013-02:28

It's a late 1970's all original "rail dial" Explorer II.

... I wish you´ll enjoy it so much, and that it is a prelude to many other "oldies"! Cordial regards, Abel. PS: Here is mine, saying hello to yours! ...
