New to me 1655
This was a piece that took me some effort to track down and I'm happy I took my time. 3.2M serial straight hand with Mk 1 dial. Box and papers. Excellent condition case and bezel. Most of the ones I have seen have very light patina on markers/hands but this one has aged to a nice light orange/golden yellow.

My thanks for Jasen Chen for a great purchase experience as well as to Phillip Ridley for his expertise in servicing the watch. Would happily purchase from Jason again. Case/bezel were left untouched during service. Original folding link bracelet was sent for restoration in Hong Kong. Tried it on a C&I rivet bracelet but watch "feels" right on a folded link oyster so have in on a 9513 until the original bracelet is freshened.

Was going to mount a NOS Tropic 38 crystal I was holding onto but there was an issue with that crystal so the cyclops is still on. If anybody has a Tropic 38 they would consider selling to me for this piece please PM. I think a tropic 38 would work great on this piece.

Serial number makes this piece a 73 and it got a ride in another 73 yesterday am.

Stunning! (And nice watch too!) Leave the crystal. It's what should be on the Explorer II!
