Rolex Explorer I 6610: A nice and friendship watch.
I can't resist to the pleasure of sharing 2 pictures of this beauty, with you all.
Two quick pics of a watch which is very difficult to photography, because of its domed plexy, and because of its sublime dial.
Not only the watch is incredibly beuatiful, but I could afford and get it thanks to one of us, who was of great help in the deal.
So yes, to me, this watch is very important.
Here are the 2 quick pictures:
1/ On its papers ( it also came with its original box ! ) :
2/ Lying on a marroon bed, to enhance its magic café / chocolate brown dial:
I'm very happy to have been able to get my 3rd Explorer, and my first Explorer I!
Thank you, you know who you are.
Best,

Congratulations on this pure and simple brown beauty... nice catch especially with the box & papers Thankyou for sharing..and please share some pictures again Cheers Hans
Box and papers are the cherry on the cake, Hans.
I love it so much that I think I would have umped on it, even without Box and papers! Thanks, my friend. Best, Nicolas.
Congrats !!!
Another nice piece to your collection Nicolas ... but i fear it's getting very very complicated for me now. Do you have any macro-shots on the dial? You should do a post about your current collection (and the ones still to get) Nicolas, would make it easi...
Can't agree more, Rishad
A terrific beauty. I had to get it! Thanks for your kind comments. Best, Nicolas
I will try to take a picture of my 3 Explorers, Filip...
But it is not an easy thing to do, as this last catch is really difficult to take in picture ( reflections everywhere, and the borwn dial is so complex ). I still have 7 or 8 Rolex to get, to close my collection.... Not an endless story, but a very compli...
That begs the question ...
When did Rolex start using the word 'superlative'?!?! Nicholas, beautiful watch!
Difficult question, Rick...
Superlatvie has, as far as I know, always been associated with Chronometer. But when did it all started, I have to check that... Thanks for your nice words, my friend. Best, Nicolas.
Charming and intriguing, Nicolas
Much like a good conversation over a good cup of coffee. Great to see you now have a match for your wife's lovely 1016. Enjoy it hermano, and my compliments to the gentleman Purist who helped you with the aquisition. Abrazo, Alex
It is a long love story between the Explo I and me, Alex.
I bought my wife's Explo 1016 in 2004. Since this moment, I know that I have to get one. I always had an eye on them, since I found this one. Charming, this is the correct word, Hemrano. Thanks a lot! Best, Nicolas
You have to dive into it, Chung ...
Like a painting in a Museum, you have to dive into it, to feel all the beauty of it. An amazing find. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Congrats
And to get it with complete box and papers. It's a stunning catch. Exp I is also one of my fav. I just love it's simplicity. Thanks for sharing Greetings
This is indeed a nice elegant toolwatch.
When utility and aesthetics join together here is the outcome. Thanks! Best, Nicolas
Wow, a very rare and nice watch...
...and such a nice 6610 with it's complete set is a true collector's dream ! Cheers Jeff
Well, the 6610 will arrive tonight...
So, it will really be an almost complete set. Now, I also have to catch a correct bracelet for this Beauty. Thanks, my friend. Nicolas
Congratulations...
A great find and a good story to remember it by. Regards, Richard.
congrats....

Well, Henry...
Yes, I bought a 1016, and a superb one, but I gifted it to my wife 6 years ago... The patina on this watch is a true masterpiece. Thanks for your nice words. Best, Nicolas
Sometimes....
a watch is just meant to have a specific owner. This one clearly gives you much pleasure.....congratulations. It is a beauty.
A meaningful ... THANK YOU, Mr Baron.
I' am happy that the Karma of this watch crossed mine. Very Best, my friend, and once again ... THANK YOU. Nico.
