Vintage Explorer "Ref. 1016"

Today we will be introducing the highly popular serial number L, which is believed to be the final item.

Although the L number is not usually available, we have had many opportunities to receive it recently.
This is the fourth specimen we have received since December of last year.

This is the very popular final serial that always sells out,
It is not surprising that such regular purchases could stop at any time in the future.

Recently, I have been feeling that way,
If you're looking for it, I recommend checking it out soon!

The dial is the final dial manufactured from around 1986 to around 1990.
This popular dial features a sharp logo and is well-balanced!

Important point!!

The dial is in excellent condition even when viewed with a magnifying glass.
It's in what could be called perfect condition.

It seems that older models tend to have relatively little burnt marks,
The tritium on this one has turned a beautiful cream color.

The condition of the index luminous material is also excellent.

The condition is good with some wear and small scratches due to use,
The case and bracelet are in good condition.

As you can see, the middle case has sharp edges!

The hairline on the lug feet is also in good condition.

The buckle clasp code is "N4" which matches the era.

The bracelet is in good condition with only slight creases!

All accessories included are the box, warranty card, serial tag, and EX booklet (96)!!

The warranty card and serial tag included are rare features!

Wrist shot!!
This is a very popular model that is simple, cool, and has an exquisite size!

The highly popular vintage Explorer "Ref. 1016/L4"
