Explorer 5500 1967

[mswarren]

Hi,

I'm looking to purchase a vintage explorer, and this has caught my eye on ebay.co.uk

#170764160066

This will be my first Rolex, although I bought a new midside oyster perpetual for my wife last year, and the rest of my family all have old and new datejusts, I fancy something a bit different.

I like the look of these old explorers, this one seems to be a good price. I suspect it won't appeal to the purists, as it has been restored, but that aside, does it look ok, or is it too cheap? I live near the seller and should be able to see the watch before committing to buy.

Thanks for any help, Matthew
