An especially handsome example Rolex stainless steel Explorer II ref 1655 circa 1984. This model is nicknamed the “Steve Mcqueen” model though reportedly there is no documentation that the famed actor and race car driver actually owned or wore such a watch. Featuring a 39mm diameter Oyster case with sharp condition 24 hour bezel. With beautiful condition matte black dial with patina’d luminous indexes and orange 24 hour hand. Powered by self winding caliber 1575 movement with sweep seconds and date and 24 hour indications. On Rolex SS heavy Oyster link bracelet with deployment clasp. The bezel and case are very sharp and free of nicks, dings, or evidence of heavy use. Guaranteed genuine and offered with our 1 year warranty of accurate time keeping and operation. This watch is further notable as it is among the last of the production of this model before the introduction in the same year of the 5 digit reference number, sapphire crystal Explorer II, ref 16550. A very lovely desirable model with great vintage character.
