First, here is my '1655' with the outer track markers slightly inside the reflector (rehaut)... Replica dial, hands, case, bracelet, and hoods with rolex 1575 and 'shortcut' GMT modification. Second, here is a genuine 1655 currently on eBay with the markers spaced inside the reflector similar to mine... eBay item number 265240566116 Here is another genuine watch with the markers spaced away from the reflector a little bit.... Here is one with the outside markers right up against the reflector like the vast majority of genuine examples... My question is...has anyone else noticed genuine 1655 watches with the markers spaced away from the reflector like mine and the two genuine examples? I figured the markers being spaced away from the reflector (on mine) was a sure-fire way to tell my watch was not genuine at a glance (among other things of course). The dial is usually one of the first things that reveal the pedigree of a watch. Hands for a 1655 are also a major 'tell' and it took me a long time to find the (replica) hands. Evidently the spacing of the outer markers is not the same on all genuine 1655 watches. Btw...my watch looks a little better than the picture (imho). It is supposed to mimic a 1973 model so it has a folded oyster and 'dot' second hand, 'straight' second hands were mostly '71 and '72.

My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time! This reminds me of when this forum played a very special part in my life when I lost my last surviving parent! I never knew that Bob was Nanuq’s real name and his demise will leave a huge emptiness to us all! I am still I’m disbelief as I always remember Bob to be still quite young to be taken from us too soon! It brings back the same pain of when JJ Iranii from the rolexforums passed on a few years back! As someone has already mentioned, thank you for informing us, as we never really know in this virtual world of the web when people we know just pass on! May he Rest In Peace!

Wow , so sad to hear this , in my thoughts and in my prayers . Rest Easy Bro

I have only just read your news and am shell-shocked to say the least!!!. My thoughts with my deepest sympathy are with you and your family in these difficult times of bereavement,!!. There are no words I can express to dampen your grief, but can only wish you and loved ones the strength and courage to get through this painful period that nobody is immune from. Whenever I saw a post from Nanuq, I always remember the images he posted of "the midnight sun in Alaska", his land rover and his precious red Seadwelller!!. I would like to also thank you for finding the strength to inform us, as there is never any proper closure to the sudden silence of any correspondences from this virtual world we are all part of in one way or another!! RIP to our Dear Friend and Fellow member!!!

Sad news! Your father was a pillar in this hobby. May many prayers and blessings shine upon your family during these emotional times ahead. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
