madcatlancelot 1 Posted October 25, 2010 Still very much into Rolex, but without any vintage model in the collection, I decided to try the Explorer II 1655 from Lay (Replicamake). Let's go straight to the pictures. The Rolex Explorer II 1655 is a very well made watch, with nice engravings between the lugs (model and serial number), not-so-tall plexi crystal, very nice date magnification, beautiful dial and very good lume. The vintage-style bracelet has a beautifully-engraved clasp, different from most Rolex sports model that I have. Hope you enjoyed the picts. :lmao: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RS9 1 Posted October 25, 2010 I've always seen the orange hand in passing, but I've never though about buying one. You just changed that lance. Would you mind sending me the link? I need it! Now! Stunning! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

madcatlancelot 1 Posted October 25, 2010 thanks guys, replicamake doesn't have a link for this watch, I just sent him a pict of the watch and he sourced it for me. By the way, does anybody have a tutorial on how to resize a folded bracelet like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RolexAddict 1 Posted October 26, 2010 you need to enlarge the middle link to unfold and remove it and by the way, the side links will be removable. Dont try to open and unfold the side links. Use a cutter blade to start to enlarge the middle link, then use a little screw driver to help to make a wider space in the unfolded middle link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andygt 0 Posted October 26, 2010 madcat, which movement did you choose and can I ask how much you paid? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madcatlancelot 1 Posted October 28, 2010 thanks DB! @andy: I chose the A21J version with the whiter dial markers, this watch is the same as Trusty's version, paid less than Trusty's price! The bracelet that came with the watch looks similar to the vintage bracelet that LHOOQ reviewed a while back. http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthrea...folded+bracelet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
