Authenticity check Explorer II 1655

Hello all,

after reading more and more about supposedly fake or tinkered vintage Rolexes in the last days, I wanted to present my beloved Explorer II in detail. For this purpose I have created an Imgur account. So the pictures are of a little better quality.
Forgive me anyway for my photography skills.

I would be very happy about an authenticity check from the experts here.

Here is my little album: https://imgur.com/a/H5NSmbX

Thanks in advance and I hope you also have some fun with it.


Alex

It’s a very nice MK2 1655, all correct.

Nice. Bezel is MKIII if I’m not mistaken.

I’ve a 374xxxx series. Only difference is mine already came with the 78360 bracelet which was introduced about that time.

Thank you for your reply.
I would have classified it more as a MKII bezel.
What do you say about the case engravings, serial number and reference? They look authentic to me as well, but a second look is always good.
