We have received an early model Explorer 2 Ref.1655 Mark 1 dial and Mark 2 bezel in good condition. In recent years, it has been difficult to find a good Explorer 2, and the price of the Mark 1 has risen considerably, making it a difficult item to get your hands on.
The dial of this product is beautiful. If the dial had stains, scratches, or discoloration, it would be a little disappointing. If that's what you call flavor, I don't think flavor is necessary. Same for the hands. I think it's inevitable that it will be beautiful and in good condition.
The case serial number is 276xxxx, so the crown guard is small and round. The lugs are solid and barely polished. The Flash Fit 380 bracelet has 7836 turns and the clasp code is 72, which is nicely arranged.
