  • About Rolex
      Rolex, founded in 1905 is considered by many to be the uncrowned king of the watch world. In 1926, Rolex created the world's first waterproof watch, called the "Oyster". The model is still central to Rolex today. Rolex's rugged and water-resistant steel watches embody the image of reliable, classic professional tools for divers as well as pilots, racing drivers and special military forces.

      Rolex vintage watches are highly sought after today, and often have a higher market value than a new Rolex. The more interesting the watch's history, its provenance, the higher its value is considered. Buying a used Rolex is thus a win-win for both buyer and seller. Since the brand's sales model has made new Rolex watches difficult to buy, Rolex vintage is a great gateway.

  • About Explorer 2

      In 1971, Rolex presented the Oyster Perpetual Explorer II, reference number 1655, as the successor and complement to the already legendary Rolex Explorer of 1953. The first 1971 edition housed a Rolex calibre 1575 movement. The Rolex Explorer 2 is a watch model dedicated to explorers, cavers and professional groups operating in extreme environments.

      The most significant feature of the Rolex Explorer 2 is the distinctive 24-hour hand and ring, both of which are designed to assist personnel working in conditions where there is no daylight. This made the Rolex Explorer 2 the obvious choice for polar explorers and speleologists alike. However, the 24-hour hand should not be confused with a multi-zone GMT function, as it is linked to the hour hand of the watch. Its main function is to give the wearer an idea of whether day or night prevails.

  • Authenticity & Guarantee
      All watches sold by us go through experts to ensure condition and authenticity, so that we can guarantee that you receive a watch that is what it purports to be and with assured function. We also check that the watches we deal with have never been reported stolen and we always provide a 12-month functional warranty on all previously used watches sold under Care of Carl Pre-Owned & Vintage Watches.
