The second one looks to me like the "Ivory Dial" Exp II.It`s a watch from 1980.`s,it`s rare and valuable.

It's not ivory, its called the Cream dial Explorer-II. When new watch was white as snow, but with time has turned a cream color. Only the early dials have that distinction as it was a quality control problem with the paint used on the early dials. Rolex had it fixed within a few years thus the original ones are rare.

Some of the White dialled versions managed to be painted with a paint that over time turned Ivory/cream in colour. The model reference itself is rare enough with such a short production run, but the Cream dial are very rare. The watch has other differences too from the later 16570. The bezel has wider/thicker enamel markers nicer IMO, but I am biased. The movement is Cal 3085 as opposed to 3185 in the 16570 and the marker surrounds on the white dial are white gold not black as they are now. Here is a few pics of my Black dial 16550 for no reason what so ever, but you will see the difference in the bezel

This looks like another rare Explorer as well without any Mercedes hands and a blue second hand. I'm sure this one's very collectible too.

The White Explorer is gorgeous!
Very rare, and you hardly ever see them.

This kind of stuff is why I come here. That white Explorer is one beautiful watch - but you didn't tell us where you found it. Any chance we can find out?
