[December 2025 Edition] ~A Must-See for Collectors~ 5 Excellent Semi-Vintage Rolexes

This is an S-number model manufactured around 1993, and is a highly sought-after semi-vintage model with all-tritium luminescence and a single buckle.
The main feature of this particular watch is that it uses a transparent dial, which is different from the usual white dial, and has a texture reminiscent of the "porcelain dial" that is secretly gaining attention among enthusiasts.
Another notable feature is the distinctive vertically aligned X, L, and R letters of "ROLEX," "PERPETUAL," and "EXPLORER." The tritium luminous finish on the hands and indexes has evenly aged to a lemon yellow, and the combination with the glossy porcelain dial makes this a rare specification that is rarely seen on the market.
Although there are some scuffs on the exterior, the middle case is very thick with prominent edges and remains in excellent condition. The bezel, an important feature of the Explorer II, also maintains its sharp edges in excellent condition, which is another major attraction.
The accessories include a box, warranty card, serial tag, EX booklet (94), Oyster booklet (94), and calendar (94-95), making this a watch that we can confidently recommend as a collector's item.
