Rolex Explorer II 16550 summer pictures.
This reference is one of those which revel their true beauty with the light of summer.
The cream dial, the aligned wording, and the special shpae of the numbers on the bezel make all the difference, on the 16550 compared to the 16570.
But, of course, the most captivating detail is the subtle nuance of the dial, wih its creamy color, between vanilla and eggshell.
A subtility which is totally revealed by and with summer light.
A Watch which I most often wear in the summer, and during my stay in Italy and in the nearby.
Enjoy!
A last shot, taken on... Yellow sweet Pepper, to enhance this special tonality...
Best,
Nicolas

Outstanding!
This one has to be seen in the metal to fully appreciate the beautiful dial. You forgot to mention the white gold surrounds on the indices which differentiates it from the 16750's black surrounds. I do have a soft spot for this one ... thanks for sharing ...
Yes, my friend, this dial has to be seen in the flesh, to fully appreciate it.
A pure marvel. Thanks for your feedback, my friend. Nicolas
Ravishing!
Bravo Nico! You know how much I like this reference. Just as Fernando, I'd also add the polished (non black) circling of the index as another difference with the 16570. Some mean it was there with the very last of the 16550s. If one admits that the road i...
Hey Ztirual... Yes, I know how much you love this ref. ;)
Aaah, the non rail.. I don't know if it is rarer or much rarer, as I saw several for sale in the past let's say 10 years, but for a 16550 big fan, yes, this is a mandatory version to add! ;) Best, Nicolas
