1975 Rolex Explorer II 1655 MK 2 Dial

Case: The thick and even case with light wear from use. The stainless bezel is also in excellent condition with a sharp well defined sunburst finish and only light wear from use.

Dial: The matte black MK 2 dial is excellent showing little if any wear for its age. The lume has aged to a creamy hue and the hands match perfectly.

Bracelet: The 12 link oyster bracelet is excellent showing only very light stretch for its age. The clasp is stamped with a 1978 date code.

Accessories: None.

Notes: Seemingly one of the last little undiscovered nuggets of vintage Rolex idiosyncracies is the 1655 MK 1.5 case. With examples found between the 3.5m and the 4.0m SN range. The 1.5 seems to straddle the very very tail end of the MK 1 and into the early MK 2 dial variations. Characterized by the thick flat-topped and almost unfinished-looking crown guards, the MK 1.5 case takes the already funky 70's vibes of the Explorer II to the next level.
