A classic Rolex Explorer II, ref. 1655 aka. "Orange hand" aka "Steve McQueen" aka "Freccione". One of the coolest and most sought after vintage Rolex models, here in a great example from 1979 (6079xxx serial). This particular Explorer is in fine condition, with a good case with great lugs and crown guards. The watch is fitted with a Mk4 dial and Mk3 bezel, which both are period correct. The dial has achieved a pleasant light yellow patina, matching the hands as one would hope. Seen under a loupe, you can see that the tritium in the seconds hand is a bit uneven. This watch sits on a 78360 Oyster bracelet, with 580 end links. The movement is a Cal. 1570 in top condition and running perfectly. This Explorer comes as watch only.
