Gorgeous! Fat, fat case, nicely ruffle-textured markings and a lovely lemon hand. Just like I guessed

Great choice... another reference Rolex had trouble moving back in the day. Now look at all the lust for it.

Nice catch. I've been saving for one for a year now. Released my red to settle some bills and partially fund and going to release my omegas to fund the rest. I think the 1655 is a really cool watch and flies under the radar.
