Rolex Explorer 16550 R Series ( 1987 ).
Cream Rail dial, but with indices surrounded in black.
In comparison, the white gold circled indices.

Cream Rail dial, but with indices surrounded in black. In comparison, the white gold circled indices. Best, Nicolas ...
Nice. I've always been attracted to cream dials.
Maybe prefer the white gold surrounds but in reality due to reflection they often appear black at times anyways.
Thank you Nico in fact I was not aware of the indices difference
I’m aware of the rail dial and even considered one about 10 years ago but never clued into the indices, which are just as cool as, if not more so, the rail writing ✍️ Do they all share the indices 🤔
Very attractive, both!
my pref. would be for the white gold around the indices, though.
