Hello!
Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce some recommended watches!
Today we have a rare dial for a vintage Explorer.
Rolex Explorer Mega Fat All Tritium
Ref.1016 Serial.17 (manufactured around 1968)
Cal.1570 Hard bracelet 7206/FF58 Clasp 67.1 Back cover 67.4
Accessories: Main unit only
SOLD OUT!!
The third generation Explorer "Ref. 1016" manufactured from around 1960 to around 1990
During the long manufacturing period, various specification changes were made.
This is a very popular vintage model with a wide variety of dial variations.
The item we have in stock this time is the early matte dial/MK1 manufactured around 1968.
The MK1 dial has a crown mark in a font that resembles a frog's leg.
This is a popular dial called
"Frogfoot."
Important point!
The condition of the dial and luminous material is excellent for a watch manufactured around 1968.
It is maintained in very good condition.
The evenly-burned tritium on the hands and indexes also looks great!
I get the impression that many of them have had their needles replaced.
The originality of the needles is very appealing.
This early MK1/Frogfoot dial,
This is a rare piece with a rare feature that makes it look clearly different from a normal dial.
This is a comparison photo with the Ref. 1016/Frogfoot (right), which was also manufactured around 1968.
Can you see how the thickness of the 3, 6, and 9 indexes are completely different?
The watch we are introducing today (left) has thick luminous indexes at 3, 6, and 9.
It features an adorable shape and a rare dial commonly known as
"mega fat."
It's interesting to see such differences even among Explorers of the same era.
The condition is good, there are some small scratches on the case and bracelet,
It is an individual that has been kept in a beautiful state overall.
The middle case has a slightly polished feel to it,
There is no excessive finishing and it is very sturdy!!
As you can see, the rivet bracelet is in good condition with no noticeable scratches.
Although there is some wrinkling, it is a bracelet that makes a very good impression when you hold it in your hand.
The clasp engraving also matches perfectly with the year '68!!
Wrist shot!!
It's a cute dial with a vintage feel!
Vintage Explorer "Ref.1016/MK1"
Rare! This is a recommended item with an early mega fat dial and well-matched parts!
