Rolex Explorer 2 ref 16570 version 1 from 1991
This is my second Rolex Explorer 2. I named it Black Adam, a Rolex black dial 16570 X series Explorer 2 from the year 1991. I think it can be considered a vintage watch now since it’s 31 years old. The Rolex Explorer two has a few series ranging from the Swiss T <25, Swiss, to the last series Swiss Made as it was produced from 1989-2011 with calibers 3185,3186.
16570 Version 2 – (1998/1999 features “SWISS” Only Dial, 3185 movement, drilled lugs, locking bracelet clasp. Around 1999 (in the midst of the A series), the bracelet was updated with the Solid-End-Link (SEL) )
16570 Version 3 – (1999-2005) features “SWISS MADE” Dial, 3185 movement, drilled lugs, or no-holes case, 78790A bracelet
16570 Version 4 – (2005-2011) features “SWISS MADE Dial, 3186 movement, no holes case, rehaut, solid endlinks, 78790A locking bracelet clasp
I have to trade away a Rolex 6605 and a Bubbleback plus cash top up for this version 1, Explorer 2. According to some collectors, the early version has good chances of discolouration of the lume and dial, thereby making it more desirable for some collectors.

Jaeger LeCoultre Futurematic reference E 502 cal. 817 watch from 1956
1. The 837 was never sold with US LeCoultre branding, like the 817.
2. The color of the power reserve porthole was dark grey on the 837 and red on the 817.
3. The engravings on the plate. The JLC versions of these models did not have the caliber number engraved on the rotors. They were all interchangeable.
