Rolex Explorer II Ref.16570

A semi-vintage model with black lettering
We have just received the item, so we would like to introduce it to you right away!!

The item we have in stock this time is the N-number well-burned/patina model.
Furthermore, it is in dead stock condition, making it a true collector's item.

This reminded me of the miraculous/patina specimen that I posted in my 971st blog post last year.
I'm thrilled to be able to see such an individual again.
Please take a look!!

The model year is N number/manufactured around 1991.
The previous model was also an N-number, a 5-digit semi-vintage model.
There seems to be a lot of patina models in the N-number range for the Sea-Dweller "Ref. 16600" as well.
It's strange, but the fact that there are so many burnt specimens means that
There must be a reason for that.

That being said, this particular one has some pretty strong tritium burns!
It's rare to see an individual that has been burned to this extent.
In fact, this particular car is a one-owner dead stock item.
The owner said that he never used it and had kept it in storage.
It seems that some items can be cooked even without using them.

This is a comparison photo with the Ref. 16570/T model in our stock.
It's interesting to see how different the same luminous material can be!!
When compared like this, they are the same model but look completely different!

The luminous material on the hands is slightly faint, but there is a good amount of burnt marks!
The condition of the dial and luminous material is also excellent.

As I mentioned earlier,
This item is an unused dead stock item.
So it is in top condition.
There are very slight storage marks and small scratches, but it is in excellent condition.

Perfect in every way.
While you're here, please enjoy this non-polished piece.

First, the edge line of the bezel.
It's very sharp.

Next is the crown guard. It looks great!

We also have rug legs!!
Both the hairline and edge lines are top-notch!!

These are non-polished lug feet!!

It's cool!!

At the end , the edge was powerful.
Check out the extremely thick rug legs that look like horns!!
I could eat rice just using this rug leg.

Clasp code "P" Matched single buckle with red velcro seal.

Of course, the bracelet is crisp and not wrinkled at all!!
*There is no sign of frame adjustment.

The clasp is solid!!

The best part is this back cover sticker!!

The seal is also in excellent condition.

Accessories include box, warranty card, serial tag, chronometer tag, EX booklet (89),
Available in the calendar (92-93)!

The box had a 16700 reflector seal on it.

It's a pity, but...
This kind of thing happened often, so I guess it's just a cute thing.

The burnt tritium really stands out against the black dial!!

"A miraculous specimen appears again!"

That's right!!

All tritium/black dial Explorer II "Ref. 16570"

This is a rare dead stock item with patina finish and all accessories included.
It will truly be a collector's item!
This is a rare item that you rarely see, so don't miss it if you are looking for it!
