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 1981 (6703xxx serial). This particular Explorer is in fine condition, with a good case with great lugs and crown guards. The watch is fitted with a Mk6 dial and replacement bezel. The dial has achieved a pleasant light yellow patina, matching the hands as one would hope. This watch sits on a 78360 Oyster bracelet, with 501B end links. Clasp is stamped F = 1981. The movement is a Cal. 1570 in top condition and running perfectly. This Explorer comes with boxes, tags, booklets and older service papers.
