Grail Arrival Announcement...lots of pictures
Wanted to send out an announcement marking the arrival of a new vintage Rolex to my collection. She was likely born in late 1977 and given the name Explorer II ref 1655, though later was nicknamed Orange Hand Explorer II and to her close friends as Rail Dial Orange Hand Explorer II. Watch arrived today with case in excellent condition with swirls from normal use, healthy lugs and crown guards, perfect dial, and on her original bracelet. Pictures used with permission from Andrew Shear. The last one taken from my front porch.
