It is well-balanced and leaves a very good impression when you hold it in your hand, making it a recommended item.

The dial is the original MK2 dial which is period correct.
It features an impactful and cute crown logo!

The large orange 24-hour hand and the base of the hand are painted black, just like the dial.

The luminous material is all tritium.
The luminous hands are in excellent condition with no visible cracks.

The tritium burn on this one is also really nice!!
A nicely and slightly grilled one is very tempting.

The dial is in very good condition with no noticeable scratches or scuffs.
The condition of this dial is amazing!

The index luminous material, which is relatively prone to chipping, is in good condition as shown here!
It is in very good condition even when viewed with a magnifying glass.
It is quite difficult to find a piece in such good condition with such fine detail.

The Ref. 1655 is also available in a wide variety of bezels, just like the dials.
This particular example is equipped with a period-matching MK2 bezel.

The bezel, which is an important point, also has some small scratches,
The bezel is in good condition with no signs of wear.

The case and bracelet are in attractive condition with only minor scratches from use.

The middle case is in the condition you see!
It maintains a good impression.

The hairline on the rug feet is beautiful and the edges are sharp!!
