That there are watches as amazing as this still available for us to enjoy and buy.
If the hype merchants hear you we will see tropical 1655’s for £300k and all that sort on nonsense so best to keep it quiet 😜😜😜😜

Seriously this watch is available without selling a kidney with a Nautilus or PN one would need to sell both. It’s a No brainer.
Luckily the ones with no brains still don’t see them.
Lovely early example Bill. I love mine not because it’s the rarest or best example but because it came originally in 1981 from a few Miles up the road from where I live and the old chap that sold it was the original owner and kept everything.
Mine says hi Bill to your grandfather version.

Hard to beat the simple beauty with the big orange hand and straight seconds hand. Rolex 1655 ...  

I occasionally look for the one.

I agree. This is one of the most appealing Un-Rolex Rolex.

What an example!

This one looks absolutely mint.

One of the best bezels ever made by the Crown.

And it looks like you’ve got a very nice example there.👍

Can anyone find a pic of McQueen wearing this watch?

I'm surprised that it doesn't have a better nickname..

Correct. He wore a 5512.

I love the nickname!

Nothing more Rolex than everyone hyping this watch as the Steve McQueen watch when he didn't even wear it!

Wish Rolex would have taken more design cues from that model for the 50TH anniversary edition.

Me too!
