It's an Explorer II with the black dial.
I got it from an AD, everything so far looks fantastic but I'm curious as to why there's a bar code on the side of the watch?
It's an M serial with the engraved inner bezel.

Thanks for any help, pics to follow!

Markg · 28 May 2008, 08:44 AM

bar code is on the plastic, just peel it off

gmt master x · 28 May 2008, 08:44 AM

Yeah, it's for internal Rolex purposes. Just peel it off.

Then try it on, please, and post the mandatory wristshot!

Run it over the barcode scaner at the supermarket, and see what happens

Congrats. Enjoy your new watch.....

DSJ · 28 May 2008, 12:52 PM

As long as you wrap your wrist in aluminum foil before putting your watch on, there's no need to remove the bar code

Oh, and congrats on a GREAT watch!!!
I took some pics of mine last week, did you see? http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=41007

And I also took this one last week:

Ken Cox · 28 May 2008, 04:25 PM

Great photos from DSJ, and possibly my favorite Rolex (I go back and forth between the white and black face).

Baptistman · 28 May 2008, 05:57 PM

Here you go. Just peel it off. Its an inventory code

astcell · 28 May 2008, 02:50 PM

If that's a real Rolex, where's the bar code? :-) And what is the barcode for anyway?
