That is a really lovely watch. Hope you enjoy for many years to come.

I Finally took some better photos. Still super happy with the work Phillip did. I also bought a little UV light so I could at least see the lume on it.

Compared to the Explorer II I got right after.

Boy, that is a very nice watch. Congrats on doing things right.

Nice! Now it's time to collect 1016, 14270, 114270 and 124270... :)

6098, 6928, 6150, 6350, 6350, 6610, 5500, 5504, 1016, 1655, 14270, 114270, 16550, 16570 (prior to post 40mm uberchunksplorers) is the bloodline in full.

OP, please get that vintage beauty insured, it would be a hard one to replace if anything were to ever happen to it.
Get proper watch insurance which covers having the watch ripped off of your wrist. Home owners insurance riders usually dont cover this and only cover in the home.

This is a very understated watch by today’s standards. You think it’s more prone to that sort of theft than a modern explorer?

Just the fact that it says Rolex is all that it needs

mdwsta4 · 24 June 2022, 09:37 AM

Wow, what a beautiful watch! Great backstory as well

EagleBear · 24 June 2022, 11:33 AM

What an amazing heirloom piece and great story thanks for sharing it.

Ascari_2 · 24 June 2022, 12:10 PM

Lovely watch. It's such a pleasure to have a well oiled vintage that is ready to tick for years to come.

Then...why insure it?

As an ex-insurance company owner, I can advise in the UK at least, that most decent policies have an 'away from the home cover' for portable valuables such as watches, jewellery, phones, documents etc with a modest excess of 10% usually. Nice piece ,well preserved btw

Korda · 25 June 2022, 01:07 AM

I actually did have Phillip provide a letter of appraisal so that I could get it insured. I haven't looked into it yet but should make it a priority.

Thanks for all the compliments and info everyone!

I like the State Farm articles policy, they will insure if it is ripped from your wrist. Most dont cover this unless you specifically ask for the coverage.
