"Mirror Dial"
A glossy dial was available on models manufactured up until around 1967.
This is a rare dial that is extremely rare even among vintage models, with its beautiful mirror-like shine.

The mirror dial we are introducing this time has a beautiful mirror-like shine!!
There is some deterioration across the entire dial that is hard to honestly describe, but strangely enough, it doesn't feel unpleasant.

Whether you think this dial is dirty or an interesting, deteriorating dial is up to your personal preference.
I don't hate it... (laughs)

In fact, this particular watch has an outstanding atmosphere with the burnt tritium and aged dial matching perfectly!
The hands were replaced in later years, but the luminous material is all tritium.
The aging becomes even more apparent when the light hits it. This is a watch with an outstanding atmosphere where you can enjoy the changes in the dial over time!

The condition is good with some scuffs and scratches from use, but no major scratches.
Since this is a vintage model, the scratches actually add to its charm!

The flash fit and bracelet have been replaced in later years, but there is no sign of wear and tear and the condition is good!

Wrist shot!!
It is a mirror dial with a great atmosphere that allows you to enjoy the taste that comes with age!
Vintage Explorer Ref. 1016 with mirror dial!
The actual item is even more impressive and cool than in the photo!!
The sales price has been set very attractively, so please come and take a look at it!
The overhaul has also been completed at our affiliated workshop!
If you are looking for a unique vintage model, please consider this one.
