The highly popular Vintage Explorer II "Ref. 1655"
This is a very popular vintage model that has been selling well in our store recently!

The bezel and case condition of the item we have just received are excellent.
The burnt tritium creates a great atmosphere and is a rare and highly recommended item!

The dial is the original "MK5 dial" that matches the period.

The specifications are almost the same as the MK4 dial,
What makes it unique is that the letter "O" in "OYSTER" is a perfect circle!

The dial condition is good with some scratches on the hands,
Everything else is in good condition.

The index luminous material is well-burned,
It's in great condition with no flaws!

The luminous material is all tritium!!
The luminous hands are evenly lit, just like the indexes, creating an outstanding atmosphere!

The GMT hand still retains its orange hue and looks great combined with the burnt tritium.

Well, as I mentioned at the beginning, this individual has some rare features!

Do you all understand now?

Pay attention to the second hand!!

Yes!! The most unique feature of this specimen is,
It's a "tip dot second hand" with a luminous dot on the outside!!

Here is a comparison photo with Ref.1655/MK2!
When you compare them like this, you can clearly see the difference in the second hands!!

The second hand is mainly found in semi-vintage models,
I never thought it would also exist for the Ref. 1655.

Honestly, this was a surprising discovery!

The Ref. 1655 equipped with a tip dot second hand is undoubtedly a rare find!

The bezel is an MK4 that matches the time period.
It is in a very good condition and is in a very crisp condition!

The case and bracelet have minor scratches due to age.
There are no major scratches and it is in relatively good condition.

The middle case in particular is thick and sturdy,
It will be a spectacular and impressive condition.

The sleek case sides have absolutely no sagging.

This is a truly stunning rug leg!
The hairline is also in good condition!!

This is an attractive mid-size case that we recommend to those who value individuality!

Buckle clasp code is "I8"

The slightly later 78360/Hard Breath also
It's in a solid condition with almost no wrinkles!!
