Rolex Explorer and Explorer II 6610, 1655, 16550 and 16570, the killer family picture.

Found in my hard disc, this old picture of my current Explorer collection: Quite proud of it, I must say. 4 aces, 4 great watches. The most Rolex among these? The 6610. The three others being more unRolex. The 6610 is the king of sensuality, the 1655 the ...  

Congrats to a great collection

Nico, Thanks for this post. Frankly, they\'re all pretty awesome! I might go for the 6610 or 1016...but only maybe by a hair. And actually, that cream-dialled baby is mega cool. What I don\'t know about vintage could fill many books, but if there were a m... 

You'll have to help...

I know so little about vintage Rolex! Next time I\'m in Paris I\'ll have to find Vlad and do a little shopping. Any idea where I can find him? ;-) Best E.

Really!

...well you\'ll have to give him a call, see if he\'s in town when you are... Dr Jekyll, meet Mr Hyde! Best E.

LOL. Deal. [nt]

What a quartet line-up !.. All splendid Explos.. Nxt to the 6610, which we share, the three others are superb, ieach in its way..

.. If you ask me, which one to pick, - I would name this nice & cool 1655, and the creamy dialled, subtle 16550.. Still a hunting road ahead for me.. Thx for sharing, hs

Great collection!

I have but one Explorer, but I really enjoy it. It's a very unrated watch IMO. ...  

Must be a lawyer thing. ;) [nt]

I don't like the blend of styles ( indexes and hands ) and the proportion of the case.

 
 By: amanico : January 20th, 2016-21:32
But it is just my taste, and what I don't like may , at the contrary, please to others. Best, Nicolas

WOW!
