Very, very nice Sam, I am happy for you. The 1655 is such a classic reference and I am glad you have finally landed one. Cheers Jules

 You do realise it's probably just the start of a very slippery and expensive slide into the world of vintage Rolex.....

Congrats Sam and Welcome to Club 1655! Jon, is so right about moving onto the next. When I bought my 1655 less than a month ago, which I love, my mind was already wondering off to Vintage DAYTONA land. Wear it in good health.

Congrats Sam.
Yes, yes, very nice. If I were to get an Explorer that is definitely amongst the very top of my list.

Thank you everyone! I have read all of your comments and am truly appreciative! You vintage folks here have been down this road so you already know what I am feeling... I promise additional pictures later on...
