Purchased new by the owner in Louisville Kentucky, this Explorer has been kept in amazing condition showing very little polish to the case and with all its elements original. Furthermore the owner kept all the accessories from the original outer box still showing the reference number and original retail price ($ 395), to the punched warranty, matching numbered hang tag, booklets and receipts. This example is part of the first series of straight hand Explorer II's that feature a thinner case than later produced models, a correct T Swiss T dial matching with its thick font bezel, examples like these are a time-capsule as most have been upgraded during servicing over the years making this example particularly rare and collectible.
