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

Rolex Boys Explorer Gilt Dial
Ref. 5500 Serial. 12 (manufactured around 1965)
Cal.1530 US rivet (extension) clasp 66 case back 65.2
Accessories: Main unit only
Retail price: 3,993,000 yen (tax included)

This time we will introduce a product that is said to have been sold in 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 features an Explorer dial on the Air-King/Ref. 5500, giving it a small size of 34mm.
Compared to the original Ref. 1016, the case size is 2mm different,
Recommended for those who find 1016 a little too big!
The dial is a mirror dial, and the gold lettering looks really cool.

The evaluation of mirror dials varies greatly depending on their condition,
This individual has a good glossy finish,
It has a shiny mirror dial in excellent condition.
The luminous indexes are also in very good condition.

Check out this beautiful mirror dial!
It's beautiful.
The condition of the mirror is as follows:
It is no exaggeration to say that it is in top condition.
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 dials, which is interesting.

"double T < 25"
Also, pay attention to the notation at 6 o'clock!
If you look closely, you'll see that there are two T<25 marks.
This is also a rare notation that you rarely see.
To be honest, it's a point you won't notice unless you look closely,
The dial has a subtle yet stylish touch that will surely make you fall in love with it!

The condition is good with some scratches and scuffs,
It's in good condition for a car manufactured around 1965!

The middle case is thick and very impressive and sturdy.

This rivet bracelet is a must-have for a mirror dial!
The rivets are US/extension type.

The buckle clasp is engraved with the year '66.
The rivet bracelet is also in good condition!

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

Boys Explorer "Ref.5500/Double T<25" 1965
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 top condition and has an excellent atmosphere, so I highly recommend it.
It will be on sale after being overhauled at our affiliated workshop.
This is a rare dial that is rarely available among Boys Explorer models, so
If you are looking for one, please consider this!
