Hello! I'm Kaneko from Commit Ginza and I'd like to introduce some recommended watches! Today, we're introducing a rare second-generation Explorer II.
Rolex Explorer II Ivory All Tritium Ref.16550 Serial.84 (manufactured around 1984) Accessories: Box, warranty card (14: Swiss/stamped December 1984) Cal.3085 78360/FF501 Clasp code I4 SOLD OUT!! We have the second generation Explorer II Ref. 16550 in stock, manufactured from around 1984 to 1988! It was a short-lived model with a production period of only a few years. The Ref. 16550 is similar in design to the Ref. 16570, but features a large, angular bezel. I'm sure there are many people who like this bezel with a strong retro feel. The dial colors for the "Ref. 16550" are black, ivory, and white, but the one we have in stock this time is the ivory dial, which is said to be the rarest of all. The particular piece we are introducing has a strong color and a beautiful ivory dial.
The edges of the luminous index and the metal frame of the hands are silver. The Ivory Explorer II's appearance changes depending on how the luminous index burns, but this particular model has tritium that is slightly darker than the color of the dial, giving it a nice look. Furthermore, the chronometer notation is a dial called a "center split", which means that the space between the letters "SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER" on the top line and "OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED" on the bottom line is aligned on the top and bottom. This dial is also available on a black dial, but the ivory x center split dial is a rare dial that many people are looking for.
The luminous material is all tritium. The luminous hands are in good condition with no cracks!! The dial also has no noticeable scratches when viewed with a magnifying glass, so it is in excellent condition. There are some small scratches, but the bezel, case, and bracelet are all in good condition.
The lug feet also have sharp edges, making this a very impressive piece!! The single buckle clasp code is "I4" and the bracelet is perfectly compatible!!
The single bracelet is slightly wrinkled but in good condition!! All accessories included are the box, warranty card, international service warranty card (February 2021), Oyster booklet, chronometer tag, etc.!! The shipping country code for the warranty card is 14, which is Switzerland!! The Swiss guarantee is very hard to find even if you try to find it, so it's very appealing!! The watch was also overhauled by the manufacturer in 2021!! Wrist shot!! The Explorer II is a stylish and eye-catching model. It's no wonder so many people are looking for it!! This rare Explorer II "Ref. 16550" is a hard-to-find model with an ivory dial and center split! The dial is in such good condition, the parts are in good condition, and the "Ref. 16550/Ivory" with a warranty is hard to come by! If you are looking for a Ref. 16550/Ivory dial, please consider this one!
