WATCH FETISH: TIFFANY EXPLORER-5500

I PICKED UP THIS ROLEX RECENTLY. I COULD NOT RESIST THIS 5500 EXPLORER (MADE FOR TIFFANY, CIRCA 1974). THIS WATCH, AS MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN, WAS MARKETED AS A DRESS WATCH TO BRITISH OFFICERS. AT 19MM IT IS A SLIGHTLY SMALLER CASE THAN I AM USED TO, BUT I LOVE THIS WATCH FOR THE SUMMER, ON THIS "ORIGINAL" BOND RAF BAND FROM CORVIS.
