Who came to Dinner? Rolex Explorer II 1655 inside.
Sam Rotandi and his superb 1655. I tried to take a picture without flash, in the night, just with the light of the restaurant we were. The second picture was taken with the flash: The pleasure to see this nice 1655, to meet a long time virtual friend, and...
You will discover the long way to find yours...
The right patina, good condition, all correct... Not easy, but how rewarding. Best, my dear Pierre. Nicolas
Ah another visit from afar
To visit the Vlad and to survive lol Great pics my friend despite the lighting at the restaurant ! Great you both meant another fellow PuristS from afar Cheers Robin
Always a great pleasure to meet my friends from abroad.
I live them alive... That's when I travel that it can be different. ;) Best, Robin. Nicolas
Great companies all around ...
Nico, love the Explorer II 1655, but prices seemed to be very sharp at the moment. I have a slight preference for the straight-hand over the lollipop-hand, but both versions are winners in my book. Cheers, Ken
We had this discussion with Sam, last night.
The problem is not to find a straight or a not straight one, the problem is to find a nice one. Nicely patined, in a nice condition. After, the straight or not straight hand is is a matter of taste. Personally, patina and condition first. Best, Nicolas
Great pictures of the Rolex 1655
Your talent and Mr. Rotandi's Rolex are a match made in watchprosite. Looks like a great time. A Bill
Looks like very nice visitors !.. Splendid 1655 & superb pics !.. :))
This is one reference, which has been elusive to me, so far . As you said, it\'s less to find one, but more to find a real nice one ! Your visitor\'s seems to tick all the right boxes.. Cheers & Best, hs
Let's meet again
Sam and Nico and even Robin, I will be travelling to Amsterdam, Munich, and Switzerland this month, if virtual can become reality again, feel free to meet up. Cheers.
That is highly tempting. I may be in London at the end of this month.
Paris, London? Hmmm? Best, Nicolas
Apologies Nicolas

I won't be in London and Paris ;(

What a great shot !
Definitely looks really good in this picture . Thanks for posting the photos Nicolas.. And real pleasure to finally met you Best Sam
Absolutely gorgeous
Mk III rail dial. f all the Explorer IIs, the MkI (straight hand) and MkIII (rail dial) are the more expensive models today. Even more so if you find one complete set. A nice piece you have there. Great pixs and subject!
