Rolex Explorer II 1655

Hi All,

Been a while since i have posted in the watch out forum.
I noticed this whilst browsing classifieds in Spain (Currently living here for the time being). Looks genuine but in pretty bad shape. What do you all think?
Price was about £7000GBP if I remember correctly.

bad shape and alot of time and effort to fix up right, but authentic and if you enjoy the search for the parts etc. it could be a good project

Not for me unfortunately (unless I got a really good deal). Just trying to further my knowledge. Could be a lovely watch when complete but as you say it looks rough.

I would image parts don't come by often also?

After a quick look online it appears the dials are selling for approx £1000.
