Rolex

What could it be. Or better said, what could THEY be?

Easter ...

The Egg, which can be related to the color of the dial:

Rolex Eggsplorer II 16 550:



The Chocolate... And here, we have the embarass of the choice, but let's take one of the most spectacular, another Eggsplorer, the 6610...



Have a Great Easter, Guys.

Nicolas.

Happy Easter to you and yours too my friend!!!  Ken

This last one gets most of the wrist time, by the way, but you know that very well, this is a vampire watch.

So, an Explorer I or II is a superb alternative, and these 2, without forgetting my 1655 band my 16570 are very enjoyable.

An eternity I didn't wear them!

Best, and thanks for your nice words, Ken.

Nicolas.

I have always wondered why the 16550  were so rare, I heard and read somewhere that they were some kind of specific export and limited numbers model. Regarding the 6610, it is another stunner too. I remember that Dr Strong had a 1016 with a honey comb dial.

happy easter to you and yours.

With some special features... Whic lasted a few years, to be replaced by the 16 570.

A review is in the tube.

I don' t think it is a specific export: I saw US papers, but also european or asian.

Best,

Nicolas.

and even better machines . . .. Happy Easter!

Thanks a lot for your nice words, Sean.

Happy Easter to you and yours, too.

Nicolas.

i knew surprises came hidden in eggs on Easter Sunday, but your two sublime eggsamples are really in a league of their own.

Beautiful watches, Nico, and one´s which we don´t get the pleasure of seeing too often.

Thanks for sharing, hermano!

Have a great Easter Sunday,

Alex

I  waved a long time  in finding MY Explorers, as I always wanted an Explo I, a Freccione, and a Cream Dial ( 16550 ).

You know the story, there are many on the market, but a very few you fall in love with.

Aweome patina, great condition, these are the main virtues before finding YOUR watch.

The Explo II 16550 is not a common watch: The funny thing is that we really don't see many on the web.

Because it is ( relatively ) rare, or because it bis not very popular?

I, for one, love them all!

Best, amigo.

Stadium is a few minutes drive from my home.
And yet the destination to my Eden's Garden is still a long way.
Lovely shots.

Best wishes .

Another one I will have to see in the flesh!

Congratulations, my friend.

Nicolas.

When you have such a passionate guide --- what can I say.

Merci.

Bill

You have forgotten more information that I know.

So I am still your student.

The vanilla dial is to die for, and so is the chocolate dial!

One more discrete, the other totally exhuberant.

One day, you will come to them, my friend.

Best,

Nicolas.

the explorer 1 has a beautifully patinated dial in a colour that is possibly my favourite. the explorer 2 seems a bit pale in comparison. perhaps the strap over accentuates the paleness of the dial, i'd just jump on the exp 1 in a flash.

BTW my brothers McQueen Explorer 2 is coming back from service soon and i'm working on him to try to get it in my collection, but i think i'm on a losing streak with that one    nevertheless i'll try to get some pics of it in a couple of months as we deserve to see an original condition beauty.

The 6610 is more exuberant, its charm is easier to catch.

If I had to choose only one among these 2, I would go for the 6610, but go figure why, I was always fatally attracted by the 16550, too.

I realized a dream when I found one in a superb condition and complete.

Best, my friend, and I can't wait to see some nice pics of the Freccione!

But expect to pay a quite high price ( around 7000 Euros ), as both came with a Gilt Dial, at this moment.

Best,

Nicolas.
