The black dial of this Sub 5513 &#8220;no date&#8221; features orange creamy hour-markers along with matching tritium hands for a superb vintage vibe, and the face of the watch is protected by acrylic crystal. On the 40mm stainless steel Oyster case of the ref. 5513 is a rotatable diver&#8217;s bezel with a black &#8220;fat font&#8221; insert that has naturally faded over the years. This 44-year-old Submariner is presented on a black and grey NATO strap for a slick military appeal, channeling a little bit of James Bond.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Explorer II 16550<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7643\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7643\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a title=\"Rolex Explorer II 16550\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/zMens-Rolex-Explorer-II-16550.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7643 size-full\" title=\"The Explorer II is a transitional model.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/zMens-Rolex-Explorer-II-16550.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Explorer II 16550\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/zMens-Rolex-Explorer-II-16550.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/zMens-Rolex-Explorer-II-16550-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/zMens-Rolex-Explorer-II-16550-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7643\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This Rolex Explorer II 16550 with a creamy rail dial.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Part of the Rolex collection for adventure seekers, the Rolex Explorer II 16550 is known as a &#8220;transitional&#8221; model between the Explorer II 1655 and 16570, and was produced for only four years from 1985 \u2013 1989. Two types of dials were offered with the ref. 16550 \u2013 black and white \u2013 and the white dial versions are the most interesting of the two because of a paint flaw that turned the white into a creamy ivory color, as seen in this particular Explorer II. The defect was later fixed by Rolex in future models, so coming across\u00a0an Explorer II with the white-turned-cream dial is a rare find. Another noteworthy trait of this specific\u00a0dial is that the letter &#8220;Cs&#8221; in &#8220;Chronometer&#8221; and &#8220;Certified&#8221; align perfectly, classifying this as a &#8220;rail dial&#8221;, a minute detail that excites most Rolex collectors. On the stainless steel case is the original &#8220;fat font&#8221; bezel in mint condition, and the watch is outfitted with the 78360\u00a0stainless steel Oyster bracelet.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>GMT-Master 1675<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7642\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7642\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7642 size-full\" title=\"A vintage Rolex GMT-Master 1675 is a great sports watch that with a patina that is starting to develop.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/zvintage-rolex-gmt-1675.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex GMT-Master 1675\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/zvintage-rolex-gmt-1675.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/zvintage-rolex-gmt-1675-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/zvintage-rolex-gmt-1675-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7642\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Rolex GMT-Master 1675 has an all black bezel unlike the Coke or the Pepsi.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A Rolex collection that allows world travelers to keep track of dual time zones simultaneously, the GMT-Master 1675 enjoyed one of the longest manufacturing runs in Rolex&#8217;s catalogue from 1959 until 1980.
