Cheap Rolex Explorer II Derived Watch of GMT-Master

In Taiwan, Rolex Explorer II, Explorer I and Submariner are the best-selling Rolex sports watches, in which, Explorer II has the shortest history. Most people believe that Explorer IIs first appearance was in 1971, the model was 1655, it was modified from GMT Master-I Ref. 1675. Explorer II Ref. 1655 changed the 24-hour printed rotating bezel of GMT Master to a fixed bezel with engraved 24-hour scales, but like GMT Master, 1655 also equipped with Calibre 1575.

In addition to the bezel, the biggest difference between Explorer II Ref. 1655 and GMT Master I was the hand. GMT Master featured Benz hour hand and sword-shaped minute hand. The unique orange or red 24-hour hand was the same as the Lightening Bolt second hand of legendary Milgauss ref. 1019. The Explorer II Ref. 1655 models that were produced during the former three years equipped with Orange Hand, later changed to Red Hand, generally speaking, in rarity and price, Explorer II 1655 with Orange Hand was much higher than Explorer II 1655 with Red Hand.

Since its birth, Explorer II was more like a derived model of GMT-Master, but today its popularity clearly exceeded, no doubt Explorer II might be better in performance and appearance, but it was the reverie name Explorer, the unique charm of Explorer 1655, as well as the legend between it and Steve McQueen that made Explorer II more fever.

A story about Explorer II 1655 was the legend of Explorer II Steve McQueen. Some people believed that Hollywood action star Steve McQueen was a fan of Explorer II 1655, he was also wearing Explorer II 1655 in the film. Because Steve McQueen was deeply loved by the audience in Europe and America, the story between him and Explorer II 1655 became widely known, so Explorer II 1655 was nicknamed as Explorer II Steve McQueen.

However, this view was questioned by more and more people, because Explorer II Ref. 1655 started to be produced in the early 1970s and discontinued in 1985, but Steve McQueen died of lung cancer in 1980, before his death, he only made a few films during the early 70s. In which, The Hunter was the only film that could let you make a decision that he was exactly wearing a Rolex watch, but from a few scenes in this film and judged by the characteristics of bezel, dial and bracelet, the watch was more like Submariner rather than Explorer II. Steve McQueen passed away too early and couldnt be compared with Paul Newman, who usually raised money for charity foundations while wearing Daytona Paul Newman. Whatever it was real or not, the story between Steve McQueen and Explorer II 1655 would continue to spread.
