My first catch of 2011

 
 By: EdwardL : January 17th, 2011-04:56











Just wanted to share with you all my new bundle of joy.

Just the right size for my small wrist.
Now I'm on a hunt for a set of hands to match the marker patina.

Thanks for looking

cheers

Ed

Now I have to match the hands patina close to the dial's.
I'm already excited with the task at hand.
Let's see where it takes me.

Is it a reference 5504 ?

 
 By: DrStrong : January 17th, 2011-12:58

it looks very clean, congrats !

I have an Explorer 1 with the unusual reference 1018; it also has a gilt dial, but a cal.1560 chronometer

Yes it is the Airking version

Ref 5500. Non chronometer.
The case ref is 1002. Is it fine? Or fishy?
By the way Jeff, yours a BEAUT.

Ed

1002 caseback is OK on any 5500 case [nt]

It looks better than the new 40 mm model.

Thank you for your nice words. Zdenek.

Understated charm and a quiet icon / legend of Rolex...... I just love to see the Explorer appearing in old / new ads... 


 

Thanks KCKL
