Today we have a rare Boys Explorer.
Rolex Boys Explorer Mirror Dial
Ref.5500 Serial.15 (manufactured around 1966)
Accessories: Box, warranty card (stamped November 1967 in the UK)
Cal.1520 FF57/6635 Clasp code 66.1 Back cover 66.3
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.
Here is a comparison photo with our YouTuber Yagi's Ref. 1016MM/Explorer.
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 lettering is very cool.
The evaluation of mirror dials varies greatly depending on their condition,
This particular watch has a shiny mirror dial with a strong sheen.
There is slight deterioration in the center of the dial,
More than that, the condition of the mirror is too good,
I don't think it will be of any particular concern.
Check out this beautiful mirror dial!!
It's beautiful.
This is a condition that is rarely seen.
While many of them have lost their luminescence,
The index luminous material is also in very good condition!
Since it is equipped with a non-chronograph movement, the word "PRECISION" is written at the 6 o'clock position on the dial!
The needles are in relatively good condition!
The condition is age-appropriate with some scratches,
There are no major scratches and it looks good.
Overhauls have also been completed at our affiliated workshop.
The middle case is also sturdy and not overly finished!
The bracelet is an extension/rivet bracelet engraved with the first period of 1966.
The age-appropriate bracelet is in excellent condition!!
Comes with box and warranty card!!
A 60's vintage model with a warranty is definitely rare!
Wrist shot!!
The gold letters don't stand out against the jet black mirror!
And the perfect size is what makes it so appealing!
Boys Explorer "Ref.5500"
This is a highly recommended piece with an attractive jet black mirror dial that is in excellent condition.
