Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce some recommended watches!
Today we have the second generation Explorer II with a rich ivory dial.

Rolex Explorer II Ivory All Tritium
Ref.16550 Serial.97 (manufactured around 1986)
Accessories: Box, warranty card (USA/open)
Cal.3085 78360/FF501 Clasp Code O10
SOLD OUT!!

The second generation Explorer II, manufactured from around 1984 to around 1988

The short-lived model "Ref. 16550", which was produced for only a few years, has arrived for the first time in a long while!
The dial colors of "Ref.16550" are black, white, and ivory.
The item we have in stock this time is the ivory dial, which is considered to be the rarest of all.

The luminous edges of the index and the metal frame of the hands are silver.

The chronometer notation is "SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER" on the top line.
The spacing between the words "OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED" on the bottom line is even.
This dial is commonly known as a "center split."

If you're wondering about the ivory color, this one is amazing!
It has a very rich ivory dial.
The tritium on the hands and indexes has also changed to cream color.
It is a dial with a tremendous impact.

Unfortunately, if you look closely, you can see that there is a crack on the outer circumference of the dial.
The dial has a nice shine and the rest of the watch is in good condition.

Anyway, it has a deep ivory dial.
This is by far the darkest ivory color I have ever seen.
Maybe we can even hope for evolution!!

The condition is good, there are small scratches on the case and bracelet,

The lugs are thick and the middle case is sturdy.

The edge lines of the bezel are also clearly defined!

The crown guard is also in excellent condition!

The slightly later single bracelet has a slight creasing, but is in good condition!!

Comes with box (later), warranty (USA), Explorer booklet (84), and chronometer tag.

Rare Explorer II "Ref. 16550"
