Model: Rolex Explorer II

Reference # 16570

Movement: Cal. 3185

Serial Range: A5***** (1999 production year)

Dial & Hands: Swiss Made dial with matching super luminova hands. The later production number, and sale date from the following year supports that a 'Swiss Made' dial would be correct for this serial range.

Aesthetic Condition: The bezel and lugs are in exceptional condition with quite a bit of the factory brushed finish still visible. The crystal is free of any blemishes. There is a small scratch on the lower endlink that extends to the lower left lug. Small swirl marks on the mirror polished sides of the case and some visible signs of wear on a couple of the bracelet links.

Mechanical Condition: Service history is unknown, but if you look at the timegrapher picture I have included, the daily accuracy (+/- 0 sec/day) and amplitude (278 degrees) both look very healthy. When the crown is pulled out to its first position to wind the mainspring and power the movement, it winds nice and smooth. When the crown is pulled out to its third position, to advance the minute hand, it does seem wind with a bit more resistance than what I would consider 'normal' for this model. The jumping hour hand and date change over, are both in good working order.

Bracelet: Solid endlink bracelet with an X10 coded clasp, is correct for an A-serial watch and measures 7.5 inches on the inner circumference. Additional links can be sourced for larger wrist sizes.

Box, Card, and Accessories: Comes with paperwork dated April of 2000

Price: $6,600
