Explorer II
After a long search I found my cream dial 16550. This one is a rail I just happened to take the picture at the wrong time (literally).

Beatiful Exp II, but what do you mean by "rail"? Does this have to do with dial?

Rolex used different companies to produce dials and with rail dials the c's in CERTIFIED and CHRONOMETER line up exactly where on other dials they don't. P.s That cream is a beauty, as I said on VRF!! |

Well done. Any refurbishing in the works (i.e. Bezel)?

I wonder what it would look like with no paint on the bezel.

I managed to get this one from the original owner. That being said, I already shipped her off to Bob R. for a full servicing, repainting of the numbers on the bezel and a light refinish. I will be sure to post pictures when she returns from the spa!
The serial on this one is 8.3 mill |
