One of my favorite summer watch: Rolex Explorer 2 Cream Rail Dial.

The sun gives all the nuances of this cream dial. These transitional references are to die for. Hard to believe that is almost 40 years old! Best, Nicolas ...  

This dial is soooooo sexy! 👌👌👌

True that. Big love affair for that one.

Only time can make a dial look that good! I’m not sure that can be re-created by the manufacturer

Well, the color is due to a flaw with the lacquer. A happy accident, in sum. ;)

It is a delicious creamy dial that is perfect in the Explorer.

The red arm is a feature I think I would prefer compared to the orange of today…but perhaps that is just in pictures.

No, no, this is a 24 hours red hand. Really red.

Yes for sure, in your model it is red. I was trying to say that I wish Rolex did not change to orange in the later (newer) models, because I like the red very much.👌🏽

Aaah yes, but they wanted to mix the 16570 and the 1655 with the current Explorer II.

 
 By: amanico : August 12th, 2022-13:43

Ah, yes, great point. I didn’t have the 1655 in mind.

 
 By: ArmisT : August 12th, 2022-20:59

That's the issue I have with the current Explorer II. It is not a 1655 nor a 16570. It is both.

I know this baby well. Unique piece with such great creamy dial.

You saw it several times, indeed. Thanks, Bill.

The creamy dial is dreamy!

I was about to say “I like this one even more than the polar” 🫢

Thanks, Greg.

Stunning!

Wonderful wristwatch.

A big and old love of mine, for sure.

 
 By: amanico : August 12th, 2022-13:44

Ah how cool is that one? Beautiful!

I know your love for the Explorer II. And you are so right!
