General

beautiful early explorer...the Italians call these 'freccione' or big arrow ...we either wrongly call them Steve Mcqueen or just simple orange hands ...

This example is a very nice early model featuring the straight second hand without luminous dot, the original mark2 bezel, and early frog foot dial....

The watch has received a full service from Rolex in the UK and shows a nice crisp 'bexley edge' to the case

Case

Stainless steel, all engraving crisp and clear.

Dial

unmarked , excellent condition with nice mid tone patina and matching tritium hands

Bracelet

solid link 78360 oyster bracelet.
