Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce some recommended watches!
Today we have a rare Boys Explorer.

Rolex Boys Explorer Mirror Dial

Cal.1530 FF57/6635 Clasp code 65.1 Back cover 65.4
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.

Compared to the original Ref. 1016, the case size is 2mm different,
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.

Check out this beautiful mirror dial!!
It's beautiful.
This is a condition that is rarely seen.

This dial has a shorter minute line than the regular model,
The dial looks large and impressive!

The Boys Explorer has a wide variety of dial variations, which is interesting.

"double T < 25"

Also, pay attention to the notation at 6 o'clock!
If you look closely, you can see that there are two T<25 marks.
This is also a rare notation that is rarely seen.

To be honest, it's a point that you won't notice unless you look closely,
You'll surely grow to love this watch with its subtle yet stylish dial!

The condition is good, there are some scratches,
There are no major scratches and it is in good condition for a vintage model.

The middle case is very impressive and sturdy.

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 1965.

Wrist shot!!
The size is just right and it looks stylish and great!!
Just shortening the minute line,
It's interesting because the facial expressions are completely different!

Boys Explorer Double T<25 "Ref.5500"
Even among the Boys Explorer models that are rarely available, this one has a mirror dial with the rare feature of double T<25!
The mirror dial is in perfect condition and has a great atmosphere, so I highly recommend it.
