It's getting harder and harder to find the original 1655. In the midst of all this, we have the Explorer 2 First Model in stock. In the world of VR, the First Model is very popular and expensive.
Among vintage Rolex sports models, the 1655 has some unique designs, such as the dial and orange hands, and people tend to either love it or hate it, but if you like it, you might not be able to find a decent one again unless you buy it around here.
In my experience, the number of 1655s produced is overwhelmingly smaller than other models. Moreover, the dial, bezel, and case all match up perfectly with the era, so I don't think there are many on the market.
I think the model we have in stock this time is probably the second lot. The real first one has a crown guard that is a little thinner and rounder. In this case, it has a Mark 1 dial, Mark 1 bezel, and straight hands. The next one will have a case that changes to this type, with a Mark 1 dial, Mark 2 bezel, and straight hands. Then there will be a Mark 2, Mark 3, and so on.
The straight hands disappear halfway through the Mark 2 dial and are replaced with dots. ←The transition in this area will be judged comprehensively based on the serial number and other consistency.
That's a long explanation, but this is a piece in very good condition, and we are offering it at an affordable price.
Highly recommended, so don't miss this opportunity.
