Explorer 1655 guide
Hi folks
So I've developed this itch for a 1655. It's going to have to get scratched, but let's face it, we're talking a few dollars here. In light of this, I'm being sensible and seeking advice ... from you. Any pointers to good threads or nice guides as to what to look for would be much appreciated. I'm into originality and relaxed about condition. Thanks StuartM |

First of all, welcome on board!!! There are a ton of threads on the 1655 just look around and you'll find great info. Fremstar can help you as he owns a beautiful example.

Folks
Thanks for the enabling; thanks also for the link, nicely comprehensive. Never seen one for sale in Dubai. There's an active market here, but it's rife with dodgy stuff and there's only a tiny handful of second hand dealers. |
