An Orange Hand that makes our hearts beat faster.<\/p>\n<p>The case is in very good condition. It has certainly been lightly polished in the past, but as the pictures show, it was done perfectly. Full lugs, sharp edges, and a wonderful matte finish characterize the case. There are minor signs of wear, but of course no deep scratches, dents, or anything like that.<\/p>\n<p>The dial is an absolute highlight. The Orange Hand needs patina to reveal its full beauty, and this dial has plenty of it. It&#8217;s characterized by a wonderfully clear print and, as mentioned, a wonderfully strong patina of the lume material. Incidentally, this is the MKV version, which is perfectly timed.<\/p>\n<p>The hands are also great \u2013 just look at the pictures. A wonderful, even patina that matches the dial perfectly, and an Orange Hand hand that absolutely deserves its name.<\/p>\n<p>The bezel, just as the case, is top-notch. Light signs of wear, but overall simply perfect for the overall look of the watch, and in the MKIV version, it also matches the year of manufacture perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>The 78360 Oyster bracelet, just as the watch, is in fine vintage condition. The bracelet shows some stretch, but wears perfectly on the wrist and with a clasp code of G for 1982, it is the original bracelet for the watch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion: An Orange Hand that you&#8217;ll love from the first second, because it has the look it takes. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brand: Rolex Model: Explorer II Reference: 1655 Year: 1982 Serial number: 7223XXX Material: stainless steel Bracelet: stainless steel Diameter: 40 Millimeter Condition: very good Box&amp;Papers: no Description: Vintage Heaven.
