"Mirror dial" A glossy dial that was found 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 gold -painted logo and minute lines are also features of the mirror dial.
The dial has a sophisticated beauty that is different from current Rolexes!
The stepped-down gold lettering looks amazing in person.

The mirror dials of the Ref. 1016 are also divided into various categories, but the mirror dial we have in stock this time is the final mirror dial that matches the era.

There are many individual differences in the gloss of mirror dials.
Currently, the vast majority of watches have cracks and deterioration, but this particular one has a beautiful mirror dial that maintains a brilliant luster.

If you look closely, you can see some wear around the index and the edges of the dial, but it doesn't really ruin the look!

There are some other small scratches that can be seen with a magnifying glass, but the dial is in excellent condition!!

The hands have deteriorated over time, but the luminous condition is good!
I have the impression that many watches of this age have had their hands replaced, but these appear to be original hands.


The bezel and case have a slight polished look.

The later wound bracelet has natural creasing.

But when you put it on your arm, it fits perfectly!!
The jet black mirror dial is a beautiful dial that will make you fall in love with it.

Vintage Explorer Ref. 1016 with mirror dial!
This is a recommended vintage model with a mirror dial in excellent condition!
Beautiful mirror dials like this will likely become even more scarce in the future.
If you are looking for a 1016 mirror, please consider this one.
