Explorer Roll Call....16550, 1655, 6610, Black-Out 14270
Haven't done one of these for ages.....modern, vintage, explorer 1 or explorer 2..... whatever you have...let me have it!
Vintage....first generation 1655....the "Straight-Hand"
VERY vintage... the 6610 (see review http://rolex.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost/fi-732/pi-5984638/ti-877788/s-0/)
Modern...the 14270 "Blackout"
All so different and all so versatile......starting with these for the Explorer Roll-Call
Modern (ish) ... the 16550 Panna. Produced for only a short period and with its quirk (faulty) dial paint!
Vintage....first generation 1655....the "Straight-Hand"
VERY vintage... the 6610 (see review http://rolex.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost/fi-732/pi-5984638/ti-877788/s-0/)
Modern...the 14270 "Blackout"

Neither my Explorer (II) . . .
. . . nor my wrist . . .
. . . but here's an image taken by yours truly five years ago. This one belonged to a former co-worker; if memory serves correctly, he was in the process of selling it at the time.

You know, for someone who claims not to be a Rolex guy, I have an awful lot of pics in my files ;-) . . .
You know, the funny thing is . . .
. . . I found one last summer that would've made the cut, a '57 VeriFlat . . .

. . . located not far from Maggie's. As it turned out, though, my watch funds for the year were already allocated to the incoming GS, so I couldn't make the move.
Circumstances, circumstances . . .
Not exactly, Joe; more like . . .
. . . an ex-addict. Remember, my first watch was an Air-King - I've drunk the KoolAid!
Let me check if I can play...
Aaah, yes, I can play, a bit...

ahhhh. you outgun me with the 1016...and such a beauty too...
....i am happily jealous
That is a cool one from 1967 ( The 1016 ).
To tell the truth, it is my wife's...

Playing a little ?.. You are playing with very nice chips !.. Live them all ..
.. but especially the " Orange Hand", and those Vintages, even more ( 1016 et al)
That is quite an understatement, it is a veritable collection !..
~br> BTW : I will only be able to play with one humble chip..,
- but that's fine, as I am still hunting my early Explo 1, ( w B+ P ??)
Thus, your lovely series can serve as a good road- map,
a very good map !!
Best, hs
PS : guess, meanwhile my little Rolex Camp seems to grow
- start low, move slow..

Explo I box and papers is quite easy to find. Just a matter of patience, Padawan. ;)

Thanks for the encouragement.. Yes, I'll take it easy and..
.. will look for a nice one ( ideally with all the B+P - stuff)..
- Hence, that is not a top priority for this year, but will be wellcome,
if it materializes..
Again thx for the kind hint and advice,
