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.98 (manufactured around 1963-64)
Cal.1530 FF60/6635 Clasp code 63.1 Back cover 63.4
Accessories: Main unit only
SOLD OUT!!
This time we will introduce a product 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, so it has a 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 lettering is very cool.
The dial has aged, has small scratches, and has a few missing luminous areas.
It still has a nice sheen to it, giving it a nice vintage feel.
This particular dial is one of the earliest mirror dials.
A track-shaped minute circle is printed along the outer edge of the dial.
They are called "chapter ring," "circle mirror," and "MM dial."
This is a mirror dial made up until around 1964.
Circle mirrors alone are rare,
This model also features the rare double Swiss and 6-dot design.
"SUPER PRECISION" and "SWISS MADE" are
It's in silver letters.
The tasteful lettering "SWISS MADE" is also irresistible!
If you look closely, you can see the SWISS designation hidden inside.
The hands have been replaced in later years and the luminous properties have been corrected,
The atmosphere hasn't been compromised at all.
The condition is good with some scuffs and small scratches, but no major scratches and it is in relatively good condition for a vintage model.
The middle case is very impressive and sturdy.
The edge lines are perfectly defined!
This rivet bracelet is a must-have for a mirror dial!
The rivets are the rare 6635/extension type.
The buckle clasp is engraved with the first period of 63.
Breath condition is also good!
Wrist shot!! The size is just right.
If you are looking for a small and stylish mirror dial, be sure to try it on!
