FS: Most beautiful Rolex Explorer II ref. 1655, see to believe!

Dear all,

I am contemplating to sell it, not that I am in terrible need of cash, but more so that one Patek caught my eye and I think I can't tell anymore lies to the missus.... ;-p

You will see why I feel difficult to sell this:
These pictures do not do the watch justice as they were taken under poor lighting condition (its 11pm here!) and more pictures upon request.

The orange hand is bright and deep, no sign of fading. All tritium content is beautiful deep ivory but of course, do not glow at all. Silver date wheel is 100% original to the watch as well. Thick case is very strong with fat lugs. All serial numbers are perfect and can be seen. Serial number 339XXXX. Mark II dial version with mark II bezel.

Watch is polished once at RSC and serviced in 2010. NO NO NO parts were replaced (except crystal and gaskets, internal parts, etc)and every single part of the watch is original to its bone. Watch comes with its original double box, blank warranty papers (owner claims that its 100% original to the watch), instructional booklet, service papers... Watch was purchased from its original owner who had it stored for most of its life. The deep bright orange hand tells all. Watch pressure test ok, and I'm sure you can swim with it. ;-)

I would like to ask for USD 16,500 for this. Shipping no problem at all, been shipping to CONUS for years. I will only accept trades if you have the correct Patek 5296 sector dial.
Wire only, solid references worldwide since trading in 2004. 100% return by 3 days if not described correctly.
