Top Quality Rolex Explorer II Replica Watch Reference 1655

The top quality Rolex Explorer II replica watch was intended for cavers or cave explorers, who could lose track of time on the job. Where Type II came with the extra (24) hour hand, a 24-hour scale, and let's not forget a date, both were watches with a chronometer and water-resistant to 100 meters. Explorers, regardless of version, were rugged watches suitable for those who liked to explore. When you are not exposed to daylight, it is possible to lose track of time and whether you find yourself working during the day or at night. I really can't imagine this, but then again, I've never found myself in that situation.

In 1984 Rolex introduced its successor, the reference 16550. In this production period of about 13/14 years, Rolex only made minor changes. Collectors have divided them all into different "Mark" series. The Rolex Explorer II replicas watch. This watch was not a successor to the Explorer 1016, but an extra timepiece with an additional function.
There are about seven different dials and a handful of different bezels. The Italian collector Stefano Mazzariol did an excellent comparison article, so go ahead.
Last week, Michael Stockton wrote quite a 'love letter' (as one of our readers wrote in the comments) about the Rolex Explorer 1016. While the reference 1016 Explorer was produced as early as 1963 and remained in production for 26 years, Rolex introduced another Explorer. in 1971. Where the GMT-Master had a rotating bezel, the Explorer II reference 1655 used a fixed 24-hour indicator. For example, cave explorers only need to know if it's 7:00 am or 7:00 pm, and the big orange hand indicates it to them.
You should know that of all Rolex watches the Explorer collection is one of my favorites (as well as the GMT-Master) and that the Explorer II 1655 is always high on my wish list to try and test. One of the first things I noticed was that the dial is a bit strange. In particular, I knew the hour and minute markers were a bit odd, but I didn't realize the effect of this during normal wear.
When I got the chance to play with this Rolex swiss made replica watches for a while (well, I had it on loan for about a year!), I was quite excited. The Explorer II had the same timepiece as the GMT-Master reference 1675 at the time, caliber 1575. This timepiece had the 24-hour hand indicating AM / PM. The Explorer watches were referred to as Type I and Type II in their generic manual. Rolex kept the Explorer II reference 1655 in production until circa 1984/1985.
