Well I'm crazy haha. Just picked up a black dial Daytona last week and I'm now flipping it for a 1655! Excited about the Explorer, but I think less than a week may be nuts!

Anyways I'll post a pic soon, heading to my watchmaker now where the watch is located

Michael M. · 26 February 2016, 10:02 AM

Congrats! Can't wait to see pictures, the 1655 is one of my favorite references.

AS1 · 26 February 2016, 10:03 AM

Congrats and great watch!

Jfullm42 · 26 February 2016, 10:44 AM

Alright well excuse the iPhone pics, but looks like a straight MK II. 1977 C&I rivet. 3.3 serial.

05carbondrz · 26 February 2016, 10:49 AM

Nice! I would trade a modern Daytona for that any Day.

Wonderful 1655!!

Congrats on the trade up.

Jfullm42 · 26 February 2016, 12:20 PM

Thanks guys! I had to add a little cash, but overall I'm excited with the deal! Here are some more pics... Once again iPhone pics, but freshly serviced and pressure tested to 10bar

nsumner · 26 February 2016, 12:57 PM

Very nice

JohnBaker3 · 26 February 2016, 01:21 PM

Very nice watch, sir!

With a serial of 3.39 mil, I think it is more likely a late 1972 vintage.

Thanks John! And that's funny you say that, because I was researching and thinking the same. I guess I was thinking 77 because of the bracelet, but I think you are correct

Tudor66 · 26 February 2016, 01:52 PM

Vintage beauty for sure....Enjoy !

Robbyvm · 26 February 2016, 09:31 PM

one of the nicest references (to me) so under the radar that nobody will notice you are wearing a Rolex !

subx · 26 February 2016, 11:29 PM

J!m · 27 February 2016, 12:07 AM
