Silver Letters x Blackout
It is a Ref. 14270, but it feels like a completely different watch.
The atmosphere changes.

In addition to the crown mark and logo,
Everything from the Minute Line to the T-SWISS-T<25
It will be a silver letter.

The dial has some faint scratches that can be seen with a magnifying glass,
It is in good condition with no signs of deterioration that are common in early models.
The condition of the luminous hands is also good.

This is a comparison photo with the Ref. 14270/W.
Compared to the model on the right,
The index specifications and letter colors are different.
Do you understand?

The condition is good, there are scratches on the case and bracelet due to use,
Overall it's a solid piece.

As you can see, the middle case is
It's in good condition with no excessive finishing.

The early production Ref.14270 models tend to have thin lugs,
This specimen is thick and in impressive condition.

Clasp code "P9"
The bracelet, which matches the age, has some wear.

There are scratches on the bracelet that could not be removed during finishing,
I would like to focus on having an original bracelet!
The early 5-digit Explorer model "Blackout" is one of the few
Blackout prices are stable and remain at high levels.
It's not widely available, with only a few bottles currently being sold in Japan.
This is a discontinued model, with very few units produced, making it even more popular.
It's highly unlikely that such models will become more common in the future.
This is definitely a model worth targeting and one that you should grab while you can.
If you are looking for a blackout silver lettering, please consider this product.
