I've heard that there are two dial versions.

I thought only the 16550 dial faded?

With 16570s all I've seen are faded indices on the early ones.

There're a few 16570's with cream dials (early serial R, L and E)

Nice looking watch Ben....

Can you explain the controversy about these pieces??

Pav, I don't know much about the 16550 and the 16570, however, I've seen the 16550 with the last letters of the "SCOC" aligned. In some case, the 16750 may have the alignment (mine isn't aligned).
I hope this helps, as it can sound confusing.

Thanks for your response Ben.

I have a 16550 with SCOC just like yours.... called a non- rail dial configuration.

Two fine Explorers! Thanks for posting. I wouldn't mind adding a 16550 to my collection; black or white...
