WATCH DETAILS

ROLEX EXPLORER II [Ref.16570]

The watch that HU purchased was a white-dial Rolex Explorer II, Ref. 16570, third-generation model which was produced from around 1988 to around 2011 and is the longest-selling model in the series.

In addition to the date display, this model has a full range of functions such as a GMT function, is available in black and white dials, and is the last model to feature a 40mm case in the Explorer II series. Compared to the previous model, the font of the numbers on the bezel is slightly thinner, giving it a smarter impression.

COMMENTS

Thank you HU for your purchase! This model has a lustrous texture like porcelain, and even has a grayish color, making it a truly rare piece! The luminous hands are also in excellent condition with no cracks, and pieces like this are rare! I'm very happy to have been able to provide such an "encounter" for someone like HV! Once again, thank you very much.

CHAPTER-2

NAME & WATCH

Worn by YM

Rolex Milgauss [Ref.116400GV][Ref.116400GV]

The watch that YM purchased is the Milgauss, Rolex's only antimagnetic watch, designed to meet the needs of engineers and scientists. "Ref. 116400GV".

This is the only anniversary model from Rolex that uses a green sapphire crystal, and is a unique model that combines unique design and chemistry. In 2007, about 20 years after production ended, the legendary "lightning hand" used in the early "Milgauss" was revived, transforming the face into one that is nostalgic for Rolex enthusiasts and new for modern users. Unfortunately, it will be discontinued in 2023, but it is a watch to keep an eye on in the secondary market.

COMMENTS

Thank you for your purchase, YM-san. The Milgauss, which was your first luxury watch, is not only stylish, but also fits your lifestyle well. I think this is a perfect practical watch for YM, who works as a doctor! Also, thank you for watching the popular Commit TV series "Taka & Ken." "Ken" Furukawa was also really happy with YM's purchase! Once again, thank you very much!

The watch that Taro purchased was the long-selling Patek Philippe Nautilus Petite Complication "Ref. 5712/1A-001", which was released in 2006 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the brand's birth.

Equipped with the "Cal.240 PS IRM C LU" movement, a derivative of the ultra-thin "Cal.240" that represents Patek Philippe, the case thickness is only 0.22mm thinner than the three-hand model "Ref.5711/1A-010" released at the same time, even though it is equipped with a petite complication mechanism. In addition to the size, it is an attractive watch that combines high technical skill and design, such as the elegant blue and well-balanced dial.

COMMENTS

Taro, thank you for your purchase!! It is an expensive product that would be difficult for someone in their 30s to purchase, but I really feel how amazing you are to have this in your hands!! In addition, because it is a top-class model, even if you use it for a year, five years, or even ten years, I'm sure you will have a wonderful experience that exceeds its value!! I sincerely hope that you will spend your days fulfillingly both at work and in your private life!! Once again, thank you very much!

CHAPTER-4

NAME & WATCH

Worn by YS

Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 ][Ref.126000][Ref.126000]

The watch that YS purchased was the Oyster Perpetual 36 "Ref. 126000" with a turquoise dial, reminiscent of Tiffany Blue.

The world's first waterproof wristwatch, which has been the foundation of Rolex's reputation since 1926, was released in September 2020 with a new dial that is available in eight colors, five of which are lacquered. The pop and playful colors quickly became popular. The turquoise color, reminiscent of Tiffany Blue, which has never been seen before in Rolex, is one of the most popular colors.

COMMENTS

Thank you YS for your purchase! The light blue shirt and turquoise dial are a wonderful combination of similar colors! You mentioned that the reason you decided to purchase it was because of its condition, but turquoise is hard to come by and its popularity never fades, so it is even more difficult to get hold of unused items, and they are quickly sold out, so I am really glad that you were able to find it in stock at the right time. This summer is expected to be extremely hot, so please wear this refreshing turquoise to get through it! Thank you again for your purchase!
