FS: Rolex Explorer ll 1655 / early MK1 / Steve McQueen

DR1984

Banned
Up for sale is this incredible MK1 1655. Serial 272xxxx. Making it very likely from the first batch of 1655's to come from Rolex in late 1971.

Details

Dial:

Dial is flawless, except for a barely imperceptible mark just underneath the centre pinion. I have tried to capture the macro as best as possible with the lighting to enhance the shadows and it looks like a tiny flaw in the brass plate itself, and likely left the factory like that.

Case:

Case has been very lightly polished, original chamfers are still incredibly pronounced, lugs and crown guards remain thick.

Movement:

Movement is clean, and caseback shows previous RSC service markings.

Bracelet:

Original 7836 bracelet is tight, has been refreshed by Michael Young at CWR last year, and has the correct clasp stamp and 280 endlinks.

Accessories:

Box.

Watch is located in Vancouver, and face to face transactions are always welcome. Will ship insured, worldwide.

I have plenty of references on the forum.

Asking $34,000 CAD
