Rolex Explorer and Explorer II 6610, 1655, 16550 and 16570, the killer family picture.
Found in my hard disc, this old picture of my current Explorer collection:
Quite proud of it, I must say.
4 aces, 4 great watches. The most Rolex among these? The 6610. The three others being more unRolex. 
The 6610 is the king of sensuality, the 1655 the king of Cool, the 16550 with its cream dial the king of Subtle, and this 16570 the King of Bear Hunter.
There is ta 5th one, but it belongs to my wife, the 1016:
We must be some Hard Core Explorers Fans!
Best,
Nicolas

The finest Explorer, among those I own. There still are some top to get...
Such as a 6350, with a greatissime 6350 dial... Credit picture unknown, but this is something I am badly hunting... Best, Nicolas ...
Great line up!
Congratulations on covering the essence of what makes this family of watches so great!
Awesome picture ! The perfect Explorer line up !
the 6610 is my favorite, together with the cream Explorer II
Don't make us choose!
Nico, Thanks for this post. Frankly, they\'re all pretty awesome! I might go for the 6610 or 1016...but only maybe by a hair. And actually, that cream-dialled baby is mega cool. What I don\'t know about vintage could fill many books, but if there were a m...
You'll have to help...
I know so little about vintage Rolex! Next time I\'m in Paris I\'ll have to find Vlad and do a little shopping. Any idea where I can find him? ;-) Best E.
Really!
...well you\'ll have to give him a call, see if he\'s in town when you are... Dr Jekyll, meet Mr Hyde! Best E.
What a quartet line-up !.. All splendid Explos.. Nxt to the 6610, which we share, the three others are superb, ieach in its way..
.. If you ask me, which one to pick, - I would name this nice & cool 1655, and the creamy dialled, subtle 16550.. Still a hunting road ahead for me.. Thx for sharing, hs
Great collection!
I have but one Explorer, but I really enjoy it. It's a very unrated watch IMO. ...
I love it!
An amazing collection of Explorers! Naturally, I love the 6610 and 1655!!!
Explorer II 216570
Nicolas, what are your likes and dislikes about the Explorer II 216570? Do you see it as a missing book end? I love the four you have, they betray the classic style the model has held throughout its evolutions. - Mark
I don't like the blend of styles ( indexes and hands ) and the proportion of the case.
But it is just my taste, and what I don't like may , at the contrary, please to others. Best, Nicolas
WOW!
That is an impressive collection!! Love the spread, they look so clean and tidy.
