1655 - Wrist shots anyone?

Gents:

Pretty self-explanatory subject line. Does anyone have any 1655 wrist shots? Hopefully something not extremely up close to get some perspective on the size of the watch?

Thanks Gents. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

V/R

Mike

They all look great guys. Thank you for posting!

I really like the look w/o the cyclops too. Really keeps the dial clean.

Over recent months I have warmed a lot towards this classic Rolex.

I currently own it's lot younger sibling the 216570 and part of me, I think, got it because some of this piece.

The bezel on the 1655 is imo a lot nicer than the current one. Unfortunately my Explorer II will never age in the same fashions as these glorious one will.

Thanks to you all for reminding us how great they look :)
