Look at what FedEx dropped off... Birth Year Vintage
Finally got my hands on this birth year (1983) MK V 1655 Explorer II. All original and unmolested. Have a feeling this one is going to stick around for a while (big thanks to Andrew for a smooth transaction).

Thin font bezel, definitely one of the last made. Very nice!

Congrats!
However you are having the same issue I am having. My pictures look right side up when I preview, however when I post they flip upside down.

Aloha from Kauai.
