1986 Rolex Ref. 16550 Cream “Rail Dial” Explorer II

If you’ve been after one of these cream dials you’ll know they come in many shades and this one in particular has aged to a rich almost camel color. Certainly one of the more vibrant I’ve had the pleasure of selling. Watch also retains it’s original bezel. Case has been refinished in the past but remains thick and well balanced.

Running +4 at 289 amplitude. Bracelet has X4 date code and 12 links. Please note there are some light drag marks, from the hands, on dial. These are hard to see unless you’re looking for them and are only noticeable at certain angles/lighting conditions.

PRICE: $26,950

TJbender of Fog City Watches - Great seller!

I recently bought a Rolex 16570 Explorer II from Tim at Fog City and had an awesome experience. Tim was super responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, including when Fedex tracking stopped working. Love the watch!
