Rolex Explorer II 16550 summer pictures.

This reference is one of those which revel their true beauty with the light of summer. The cream dial, the aligned wording, and the special shpae of the numbers on the bezel make all the difference, on the 16550 compared to the 16570. But, of course, the ...  

Outstanding!

Hey Ztirual... Yes, I know how much you love this ref. ;)

Aaah, the non rail.. I don't know if it is rarer or much rarer, as I saw several for sale in the past let's say 10 years, but for a 16550 big fan, yes, this is a mandatory version to add! ;) Best, Nicolas

Créme de la créme
