FS: Rare Rolex Explorer 5500 (1966) beautiful gilt & gloss dial

Hi folks,

This watch needs no further introduction. If not for gathering funds for recent new acquisition, I really hate to see this go; this is one relatively rare watch, as rare as its controversy in the Air-King discussion.

This is all original (100% guaranteed) watch, with a beautiful rare gilt and gloss dial. The gold gilt markings, fonts, etc change color in different angle of light and unmistakable as the original dial. Look at the coronet shape (the shape of the hole)... Powered by workhorse 1520 calibre, just serviced earlier this year in Feb. Watch case is unpolished and can be further polished upon request.

Here some teaser shot at the watch:

Under the sun attempting to show the shiny gilt dial:

Comes with a later '73 rivet & stretched (rare) bracelet, and more photos upon request.

I am asking for reduced USD 3.8k, shipped to your doorstep.
Solid trade references since a decade upon request.
Bank wire transfer preferred. Paypal, may be okay if you pay in SGD (based on XE currency converter) and we share the fees at 2% each.
May accept partial trades, esp Rolexes, but I am not looking to add $$$.

I can be reached at reficul_x AT yahoo DOT com
