Hello all,

Up for grabs is an Explorer 5500, i received the parts for this watch a while ago as part of a trade and last year decided to assemble them with an ETA-2824-2 I had acquired from eBay.

Since building the watch it has never particularly clicked with me and so has spent a large portion of time sat in my drawer. The size is a little small for me at 34mm and I find my JLC Memovox is chosen much more often.

The case and bracelet has light scratches throughout as would be realistically expected for a watch of this age. No major marks such as dents or gouges are present.

On the subject of size the watch is shown pictured on my 6.75 inch wrist (as to be a reference for any potential buyers).

The parts list is as follows:

•Gruen stamped ETA-2824
•Yuki 5500 explorer dial
•Yuki 5500 hands
•Raffles 5500/5504 case
•Raffles 19mm 7205 riveted oyster bracelet

Thank you for looking and please feel free to PM me with any questions.
