The Rolex Explorer 1655 is a racing machine on the wrist.

With the correct gloves, and the appropriate car... Which is from the same era, or almost.

Simple pleasures of Life...  wink

More serioulsy, why do I feel this Watch has a racing look? It has nothing to see with automotives, but still, I feel there is something which I can't put in words, even French. smile

 

  

Best,

Nicolas

Hello Nicolas, My local AD has a ref 1655 straight hand that retailed for around USD $14K. It is not everyone's cup of tea, but I do like it very much. Cheers, Ken

... Yes! It´s true! the 1655 has a racy look and the classic automobile background and the gloved hand makes for a most appropiate setting for this watch! Great shot my friend! Un abrazo, Abel.
