Hello!
Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce some recommended watches!
Today we have a rare Boys Explorer.
Rolex Boys Explorer Mirror Dial
Ref.5500 Serial.12 (manufactured around 1965)
Accessories: Main unit only
Cal.1530 FF57/7205 Clasp code 66.4 Back cover 65.2
SOLD OUT!!
This time we will introduce a model that was sold to the UK for a certain period of time.
This is a rare Explorer/Ref.5500.
There are many remanufactured items, and it is difficult to find the original model,
This is a rare model that is becoming more and more rare every year.
This model is an Air King/Ref. 5500 with an Explorer dial,
It is characterized by its small size of 34mm.
This is a comparison photo with the original Ref. 1016/Explorer (right).
When you compare it like this, the difference of 2mm is significant.
Recommended for those who feel that 1016 is a little too big!
The dial is a mirror dial.
The gold letters look cool.
The evaluation of mirror dials varies greatly depending on their condition,
This is a recommended item with a strong glossy finish.
There are some small scratches and deterioration on the dial,
It is in very impressive condition.
There is no noticeable deterioration in the index luminous material!
The hand luminescence was modified in later years, but the atmosphere has not been affected in any way.
Boys Explorer comes with a wide variety of dials.
This one has the following written next to it: SWISS
This is a rare dial unique to this era, with two T<25 markings.
Since it is a non-chronograph movement, the 6 o'clock position on the dial indicates accuracy.
It says "SUPER PRECISION"!
The condition is age-appropriate with some scratches,
There are no major scratches and it looks good.
The middle case is in good condition with no excessive finishing.
The rivet bracelet has some wear and tear appropriate for its age,
Since it's a vintage model, I don't think it will bother you too much.
Wrist shot!!
It feels like a good, reasonable size.
Please enjoy this masterpiece that is full of vintage charm!
Boys Explorer "Ref.5500"
The perfect size and jet black mirror dial are in excellent condition.
This is an attractive and recommended item. If you are looking for a small and stylish mirror dial,
Please try it on! It has a great atmosphere and is very cool!!
