Rolex 1655 opinion

Hello all ,

I already have a 1655 , as you may know , however it is my favorite watch and having 2 may not be bad .
Following Explorer II is currently offered here in Germany.

What do you think of the watch?
It is supposed to be from 1972.
Unfortunately I have no other pictures at the moment.
It is a private seller.

I am curious!

Kind regards

Alex

I had no idea you already had a 1655. Congrats!!! As far as what I think about these photos, well, since you asked, they could be much better if you are looking for a proper evaluation.

I estimate it also in such a way David! But wanted to wait once your reaction. The watch is offered by a private seller in the German eBay Kleinanzeigen.
What do you notice? Lumeplots are not directly on the edge of the dial, case lid is wrong in my opinion, orange hand looks weird....

I think there is a reason why the seller posts such dark and bad pictures

I think it would take a very skilled photographer to hide the total rubbishness of this watch

The photos were not taken by me. They are directly from the ad. And I think the seller has made them so dark with reason
