I love this picture I took some two years ago. With the black background, put on a loupe, the 16550 seems to float in a dark night sky. If you add the fact that: - The 16550 is a magic reference. - It is a beautiful Watch, totally under rated. - The patin...  

An excellent example of the 16550 Cream Rail dial ! Very even patina throughout, the dial, the hands, the plots.. breathless....

BTW, what series is this watch in? just the first two three digits will do. thanks :)

Looks like this piece is within the acceptable range of the Explorer II Cream Rail Dial... envy :) Post more pics if you have the time to take more shots. A feast for the eyes (and for Rolex fanatics too) indeed. Thanks in advance.

I think these are eye catching on the wrist And I agree very underrated Regards John

... now I have all the reasons I need to feel I die for having one in my own collection! You know... I´m so greedy! Have a nice week end my dear friend! Un abrazo afectuoso, Abel.

.. One Q: has the dial color been 'creamy white' a priori, or is that an appreciated patination of a former white dial ? The shot also is like a scene in a theatre, the magician being behind the black curtain.. ;) And yes, quite rarely seen, here and in t... 

.. Sorry for my ignorance & re-iterating: - apparently, I did not make myself clear ( or it is a stupid Q?).. Thx in advance for your info & patience ! Best, hs

Lovely cream dial! :) Best Blomman

The patina of the dial is superb on this 16550, warm, subtle, even! Deliciously creamy, which I much prefer to the pizza looking patina;) Lovely indeed my friend. Cheers Francois

This one of mine, I spent one hour at the shop before buying it... I couldn't beleive that it was untouched! Best, Nicolas

.....yours has everything that one wants in a Crema. Perfect cream dial.....not yellow.....not brown....perfect crema. Case is perfect. Correct dial....so many panna are basically NOT panna. And B&P. 100% 16550 Crema. No question...Top Banana.

with very cool numbers fonts . btw you are right ... 16550 cream is really underestimated ( altough without valve .. LOL LOL LOL )

thanks for showing your very nice specimen again. A very photogenic beauty. Best of wishes for this year. Z'

You got how many of them? 2, 3? Wow! Best, Nicolas

Quand on aime… pm sent :-) Z'
