DAYTONA

Reference 116509

The watch that Shige purchased was the Rolex Daytona Ref. 116509, which features an extremely rare turquoise blue dial.

Both the case and bracelet are made of 18KWG (white gold), and the combination with the colorful turquoise dial makes for a striking presence. The Roman indexes also add an accent, making for a stylish finish!

COMMENTS
Following Mr. K, Shige-san also appeared for the second time since appearing in "Watch Enthusiast Series Vol.2"... I never knew there were such coincidences! We are very grateful for him coming back so many times! The last time he appeared, he wore an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, but Shige-san also owns a Rolex Daytona Ref.116509 with a chrysoprase dial, so this time he purchased a different dial, a turquoise dial! Satoda, who was in charge of the watch, couldn't help but say "I'm so jealous" when he said, "I want to give my two sons chrysoprase and turquoise as gifts someday." By the way, I'll also let out my inner voice, "I'm so jealous." (laughs) His son will be joining Shige-san's company next year, so I'm really looking forward to seeing how the family business will go! I hope you'll come and visit Commit Ginza with your sons someday. Once again, thank you for this opportunity!

SUBMARINER

Reference 16610

The watch that Saito purchased was the long-selling Submariner Ref. 16610, which has established a solid reputation as a highly functional practical watch since its debut in 1989 and has continued to drive Rolex's popularity for nearly 20 years.

There are no major changes in design from the previous model, but the movement has been upgraded to "Cal.3135", which improves stability and ease of maintenance. It is popular among a wide range of people, even among the five-digit sports models that are attracting attention as semi-vintage items.

COMMENTS
Saito-san has a lovely smile. Thank you so much for coming all the way from Hyogo Prefecture. I'm really glad you found such a great watch! Satoda, who was in charge of the watch, said, "I love the movie 007, and when I was 22, I bought an Omega Seamaster, and now I've finally been able to buy the Submariner that I've always wanted!" She spoke with such joy, as if it were her own story! All the staff were touched by seeing Saito-san's lovely smile. Once again, thank you so much. I'm sure you're busy these days, especially as you work in the medical field, but I hope you do your best with your beloved watch! Also, if you come to Tokyo, please come to Commit Ginza and meet Satoda!

EXPLORER

Reference 1016

The watch that NS purchased was the matte dial ``Explorer I'' ``Ref.1016''.

This is a long-selling model that was manufactured from 1963 to around 1990, and several detail changes were made during the 20-year production period. This is a later model that has an added hacking function, and is equipped with the "Cal. 1570", which is said to be the masterpiece of Rolex movements.

This particular watch has all-tritium luminous indexes that have turned a beautiful cream color, as well as good dial condition and well-matched parts. It's a wonderful piece!

COMMENTS
First of all, this is NS's first Rolex! Congratulations. I was very impressed by your sense of choosing the vintage model "Ref. 1016" for your first Rolex purchase! Satoda, who was in charge of the case, also said that she heard that "one day I want to wear the Daytona Ref. 6263," and she was "happy" and "hopeful to serve you when that happens." We hope to increase the number of fans of vintage Rolex, so we hope you will join us in spreading the word! I'm sure you will want to talk about the romance of choosing a watch based on the year you were born and the depth of vintage watches. (laughs) And please wear it to your heart's content on your days off! It also goes perfectly with your friend's brand Lika Boy T-shirt! Thank you very much.
