Rolex Explorer II 16550.

The subtle charm of a cream rail dial. One of my favorite neo vintage Rolex. Or should I call it vintage, as it is almost 40 years old? Yes, hard to believe it is that old, as it is in pristine condition. Best, Nicolas

A summer shot of the Rolex Explorer II 16550.

A 16550 black "rail" dial, from late 1984 / early 1985, if my memory serves. And yes, it had a spider dial, but a very subtly one where the cracks could only be seen at some angles, and was virtually impossible to capture in a photograph. With hindsight,

One for its condition and patina of the indices, from 1992: The second one, Black AND Rail, which is quite unusual for this reference, less unusual for a 16650. Forget the poor condition of the dial, the interest of this watch is educational. BUT I have t

Rolex Explorer II 16550 Cream Rail Dial. A delight.

Vintage apart, or let's say in the Neo Vintage Category, this Explorer II certainly is one of the most appealing at least from my point of view. Everything is spectacular, here, the subtle dial, the condition of the bezel and case, the generous beveled lu
