Tiffany Explorer II

[gmtbatman]

Did Rolex really release Explorer IIs with Tiffany & Co. dials?

Pretty sweet!

Yes, they did. I believe watchbox had a Tiffany stamped black 16550.

Love it!

Wow

[Scapegoat]

Its just another line of text to clutter up an already busy dial.

I like it (though I think Tiffany's is overrated).

[Yellowfury]

I still think the dominos rolexes are the craziest looking cobranding

That’s what I really need, another line of text, particularly, “Tiffany” on my outdoor sports watch.

Since they are getting purchased by LVMH can we now refer to this as the Tag Heuer Dial Explorer?

Yeah, I'd need a chap's name at the very least, something like "James", "Sean" or "Roger".

In the very early years of the [RWC] now Rolex only about 1 in 5 watches had the name Rolex on the Dial,the rest were blank when they left the factory.This was because the various retailers could put there own name on dials.But after the arrival of the oyster case very late 1920s most of the oyster cased ones did have the name Rolex on the dial.But after the oyster type case was introduced only a few retail companies were still allowed to put there names on the dial, like Cartier,Goldsmiths,Asprey, Bucherer plus a few more.Tiffany was the final last store retailers name to ever to be seen on a Rolex dial very early 1990s. And now any genuine Tiffany named Rolex with provenance but its mainly sports models like the like subs Daytona etc can command quite high prices.But today without 100% provenance from Rolex buyer be ware as they are many many fake Tiffany dials around today.

Today its somewhat ironic that after around 90 years of some different retailers' names on many Rolex dials. The only one that was left was a company who do did not ever sell watches,and that's Comex.Now the rarest Rolex co-branded watches could be the Tiffany and Co, or Cartier dialled 16520 Daytona from the late 1980s into early 1990s.Its funny how something other than the Rolex name makes it very very expensive and desirable to collectors.But in today's Rolex market for every genuine one, there are quite a few faked ones and the only real way to check is direct with Rolex.Now there were a few black dialled S, N, T and W serial Daytona's Tiffany and Co, or Cartier dialled 16520 ,which had a manufacturing defect. The colour of the sub-dials faded to brown or like a chocolate colour,very similar to the defect from the late 1980s early 1990s that turned the TT Blue Subs dial more of a purple blue colour.Now today some are asking silly money for these watches and now very desirable to some collectors.But for myself not my cup of tea at all, would much rather any of the very early Chronographs, Rolex Subs, or GMT watches.

First one I've seen. Sort of don't care.

If any of the posters above have one with the Tiffany dial, please let me know, I will take it off your hands.
