OMG!! OMG!! Yes, yes, yes!!! ...
... a 1019 Milgauss silver dial like Patrice´s is in my wish list too my friend.
I thought you already owned one with black dial, but may be I am confused.
I would like to find the silver dial variant.
We are greedy people my friend!! Lol.
(Shhhh Nicolas: ... Now that nobody hears us, I confess I have returned a few minutes ago from downtown with a new catch! Something I was looking for for a long time. Will make a few pictures and show soon (at the JLC forum 
)
I feel like touching the sky!!
Un abrazo afectuoso, Abel.
Rolex 16550 Explorer II Black Dial. A rare bird?
What I think. I am hunting a nice one for a good decade, and almost nothing. To be precise, the configuration I am looking for is: Rail Dial, no Spider. While I see several cream rail dials, when it comes to the 16550, the black rail is like a ghost. Here...
Interesting to read your post dear Nicolas...
... and regarding the photograph you show, what I really love there is the intense patina of indexes in contrast with the black dial which makes for an awesome look. As you know, I have been in the hunt for a creamy white dial 16550 for some time, a varia...
This is an excellent reference to hunt, my dear Abel.
And why not, owning several with different dial configurations? That is not a silly idea, I think. Un abrazo. Nicolas
Not a silly idea at all my friend! Specially among greedy guys like we are! Lol!
Yes, the 16550 is a very interesting collecting option which deserves more attention from collectors. And I feel that as prices of other more sought references (Submariner, GMT, Daytona) is escallating as shown in recent auctions, these references will be...
Yes, that is quite frightening. An absolute priority for me would be to find a 1019.
But a black dialed 16550 would make my day. As well as a black dialed 16520. And a 16760. And a 16750. And.... And... And... Un abrazo, Nicolas

Ha ha ha!! Yes, my dear Dr. Mamadu! Nothing can escape or be hidden to your powers!...
... I finally nailed it: full set. Just a quick I phone picture taken specially for you right now at my office. I feel in Heaven my dear friend! Un abrazo! Abel ...
Muchas gracias mi amigo!! Thank you so much Nicolas! Yes I will enjoy it so much...
... I´m really very happy with this catch. It took a lot of work (and pesetas!) to get it! But well worth it! It finally arrived on last Monday, but I could only drive to downtown today to take delivery. I have returned a few minutes to the office with th...
Thank you again Nicolas! It will be my pleasure to share it at the JLC Forum...
... it surely deserves some nice photographs! This week end I´ll find a little time to shoot them I hope. Cheers my dear friend! Abel.
I did not know the 16550 or 16570 were offered on a Jubilee?
I know the fitment is the same as for the corresponding 16760 / 16710, but my understanding is that the Explorer 2 line always came fitted with an Oyster bracelet?
