Rolex 1655 mk1 straight hand nice example?

Hi all gentleman

I just got the photos from the friend of mine. Just want to share you the photos of this 1655 mk1 and need you guys a fair opinion. Please educate me.
Do you guys spot any wrong on this watch ? The asking price is 19000 usd
Is the bezel correct for the period ? Can anyone spot something wrong?









The right one

Which Explorer II are you asking about? There are two in the photo you posted, and I can't access those links.

Either way, I suggest you visit the link below. It should answer all of your questions. If all is right with the watch you're asking about, $19K is in the ballpark. I know nice 1655s, especially MKIs, are approaching the $20K mark now. Good luck!

crown guards look better on example #1 (albino orange hand)...example #2 could use a good non-evasive polishing to remove the countless scratches (unless you prefer it left that way).

take your time & scrutinize all available options...unless on a strict timeframe, the old adage 'haste makes waste' always applies.
