The 5500 is the most faked Explorer since there was no differentiation between the Explorer and Air King and dials were easily swapped out to make the watch more desirable in the secondary market. Only Rolex knows if the watch was originally an Explorer or not.

It would be very cool if you also had the original paperwork from Cartier.
