Rolex 6150 Explorer... What do you think?

Looks good to me but I've never seen the dial say shockresisting but it doesn't look like a redial to me.
6150 MODELE DEPOSE and 944XXX BREVET + Between the lugs. Crown says ROLEX OYSTER.
No markings on the bracelet ends. JB made bracelet.
The crown doesn't work so I can't move the hands to see the writing and better.
Anyone seen this dial before?

Have you been the lucky buyer?


Most Explorers get their value with the dials. But if you find a matching dial and handset, it might be a nice watch. The price doesnt sound that bad, also with a refinished dial.

Cheap watch’s parts are worth more
Get a good repaint and wear it
Then look for an original dial

Thanks everyone. I'll keep an eye out for the correct dial and hand set for it.
