Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce some recommended watches!
Today we have a high-year model of Vintage Explorer.

Rolex Explorer MK5
Ref.1016 Serial.R8 (manufactured around 1988)
Cal.1570 78360/FF580 Clasp Code M2
Accessories: Box, international service warranty (March 2019)
SOLD OUT!!

The third generation Explorer "Ref. 1016" was manufactured from around 1960 to around 1989. Today we are introducing an R-number 1016, which is a later model year.
The R series, which is nearing the end of production, is always a popular item in our store and moves quickly!
The dial is the MK5, featuring a sharp logo. It is a dial that matches the era.

Unfortunately, the luminous hands were replaced with Luminova hands during a past overhaul by Rolex in Japan.

However,
The matte black dial is in excellent condition with no visible scratches or stains.

The dial is designed to be resistant to fading, so the luminous properties of the hands have changed, but the atmosphere is in no way compromised!

The index luminous material is also in beautiful condition.

The condition of the dial is attractive, but the case and bracelet are also in excellent condition.
There are some small scratches from use, but the case is in great condition!!

The lug foot has an attractive combination of hairline and edge lines.

The case sides are also in relatively good condition.

The bracelet matches the age and is in excellent condition with almost no signs of wear!

Accessories include a later box, international service warranty (2019), and overhaul details.

Wrist shot!!
It's a great piece that leaves a great impression when you hold it!! No matter how many times you look at it, the excellent design is unbelievable!

Vintage Explorer "Ref. 1016" This is an attractive piece with outstanding dial, case, and bracelet condition!
This is a recommended product for the popular high-year R model!
If you are looking for a good example of Ref.1016, please consider this one.
