hello everyone. Wanted opinion on this 1655 with 3 million serial. Are the bezel and dial correct for period? Also is it me or is the word date a little too close to the ending of the word perpetual? These are the only pictures I have and some are a little blurry so bear with me. Thanks

 

I’m no expert on these, but thats a red flag right there

There is an excellent website that highlights all the different dial types and bezels - i suggest you study this

 

See below..the dial above does not exist as a product originally made by Rolex for the 1655

 

The codes / script between the lugs,… looks like it was done, yesterday ?

No bracelet /strap wear whatsoever ???

The ‘S’s and the ‘5’s are also inconsistent with what I would expect

 

The bezel numbers are very poorly done. Particularly 22 and 24.

 

Yea, I could see it’s rail dial so it would be mk3, but the coronet looks oddly positioned and the word date is a little too close to the end of the L in perpetual, the picture is kind of blurry though. Just my observations. The guy is selling it for 12k.

 

Yeah if it was real it should be MK3 based on 3.7 serial. The spacing of E X P L O R E R is similar to the way the MK1 was. Either way I’d step aside on this one..

 

As stated it clearly isn’t a genuine example. You have to be very careful with these. The dial / hands are wrong. Case engravings are wrong.... pass!
