Rolex Explorer II 16550 Cream Rail Dial. A new shot.
Or a new series, the Leica D Lux 4 Titanium shots.
I started with a reference which is very dear to my heart, the 16550.
If the GMT MASTER is the first Rolex which made me dream, the 16550 is not far, chronologically.
I was always under the spell of this dial.
Enjoy.
Best,
Nicolas

Cream dial...
... very intriguing! Do you also have a pic how this colour looks on the wrist? Best, Thomas
I just love these cream dial explorers
A lot of character and very differentiated from the usual vintage patina.
I didn't wear my Explorer IIs a lot, this year. BUT...
I am still feeling a lot of love for them. This Cream is no exception. I think it is a very good and nice summer watch.
An excellent example of the Rolex 16550 Cream dial.
Looks like a rail dial. Very nice mon ami. Bill
Seeing the cream explorer...
...always make me want to get a dessert for some reason :P Lovely watch.
Aahh.. Compelling creamy charm.. Has an almost un-Rolex color code, which I like a lot.. Mellow dial contrast with white indices..
.. all this in a no-nonsense case, confined for adventure.. For me an unobtrusive pleasure, but with style ! - Thx for this stimulating share ! Best, hs PS: Did you change again to the D-Lux 4 from D-Lux 6 ? - Or is it the Go anywhere, Do anything device ...
Lovely shot
I like the creamy dial a lot. Nice camera there too! How is it compared to the D Lux 6 for watch pictures?
The D Lux 6 is a different camera. The settings are different, and I would say that in low light conditions...
It seems to be better and easier to get some nice pictures. But I still like my " 4 " a lot! Best, Nicolas
