It is Easter, soon. What about an egg / creamy dial?
Just to get some training... Therefore, there is something which works very well between these old banknotes and the 16 550: The spirit of trips, adventure... Hmmmm? Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2012-03-18 02:16:34...
cream or gold....
this watch always looks stunning.... it has extra personality. Love it.
All in subtility, Baron.
This is a watch which needs time to be fully appreciated, with its subtle creamy dial and the details which makes all the difference with the later 16570. But once you got it, you'ree caught. Best, my friend. Nicolas
great watch

You're in the 8 3xx / 8 4xx xxx range, my friend.
For the first ones... Best, Nicolas
Also.
Let me tell you a secret... I am also hunting a flawless 16 550 Black Rail Dial... But ssshhhhh... Best, Nicolas...
Did you notice that most of the Black Rail dials didn't age in good condition???
I can't get why... Now, to know that you are also hunting a black rail dial is funny... I can't wait for a 16550 family pic Best, Imran. Nicolas
The dials crackle so called spider web.....
But I don't care for that effect I want a nice one with patina They are also I think harder to track down After the 50's and 60's the era of the first Sapphire the 80's is a killer era With first series 16520 Matt 16800 and matt 16660 Fat mama 16760 and o...
Are you telling me you're considering building a
Transitional Thema? I am on the same way! I want to spice the game a bit, with a Fat Lady No Date instead of the 16 750, and a black 16 550... Then I will have to hunt the matt 16 750, as I sold mine, and a 16 800 matt. But there is another thema which ha...
Sssssshhhhhhhh lol...... Don't tell everyone
16520 R 16660 double crown 16800 matt 16760 non date dial 16550 black rail Sounds good huh
Beautiful dial.........
The cream coloured dial, makes imo, it look so much more like a gorgeous vintage piece.
Café con crema!! What a great combination Nicolas!...
... you got an extraordinary dial there, my dear friend. How nicely these watches get the patina on their dials. I wish a modern made Explorer II or Daytona would "age" so nicely in a few years! This is just a watch (and dial) to die for! Thank you for sh...
I do my best with the collection, my friend.
Well, it is almost 2 years that I got this one, and I can tell you that it is a lasting love, Amigo. Gracias! Nicolas.
it is just plain torment....
I spend ages getting together a hit-list for 2012.... ....and then you post this watch. It is pure utter creme.... New list is now needed....can you have a few days off before I need to revise it again? Killer watch.
Ok, I will take my time before my next temptation.
Errrr, I meant YOUR next temptation. Best, Nicolas
I've never seen one of these before. Simply a beauty!
When it comes to Rolex, it's all about the Explorers for me.
Sweet as snow
All your pictures should carry warning sign. WARNING View may be hazardous to your financial health. **** looking and these pictures may cause the viewer to run out and do crazy things **** End warning LOL
LOL, Bill. You're too kind. OR
Are you including yourself in the category of peopole who need to be warned? When I see your collection, I rather think that you should WARN people! All the best, my friend. Nicolas
Beautiful dial there, Nicolas!
I am also a huge fan of the Explorer line. Something about the history of the watch just hits the sweet spot for me....
Happy to see you here, too, Matt.
I saw elsewhere your superb duo, and I thought " this guy has great taste ". You will have fun, here, as we have a lot of Explorer Fans. Stay tuned, and welcome here! Best, Nicolas
There are also 16570 cream but...
.... my preference goes to the 16550 with its 'bold' writing bezel. Enjoy it, beautiful watch
The Double Five is another league. Rail and Creamy Dial, WG surrounds, bold numbers
And a relative rarity contribute to its appeal. Don't get me wrong, the 16570 is a great watch, but the Double Five is palying in another league, simply. Best, Nicolas
Thanks for the welcome...
but I have been lurking here for a long time. It took your post to get me to post on yet another forum. Great knowledge here, and I'm glad to know there are many Explorer fans.
… you really want to hurt me…
… you really want to make me cry… Arghh! My friend – each time I see this one my heart skips a beat! Best, my cruel friend Blomman
Have it on my wrist, right now.
Funny, it gets a long safe time, but once on my wrist, can't take it off... Will take it with me for our small party... All the best, my friend. NicoVLAD.
Not quite as good(no way close) a pic as yours..
nevertheless complimentary. Loved your yummy cream. Excuse a hasty shot, to compliment your perfect shot. Best my friend. Ed This message has been edited by EdwardL on 2012-03-20 09:28:22...
