The dial is the MK5, characterized by its sharp logo.

The matte black dial is
It's in excellent condition with no visible scratches or stains.
The condition of the hands and index luminous material is also in very good condition!
The rarity of this individual is,
It's
a "tip dot second hand" with a luminous dot on the outside!!
The second hand is mainly seen in semi-vintage models,
It also exists in the Ref.1016.
This is a comparison photo with the same R number individual.
Pay attention to the second hand at the 12 o'clock position.
On the left is the dot-tipped specimen we are introducing this time.
Can you see how the dots are on the outside?
When I look at this dot-tipped second hand, I wonder
Am I the only one who feels happy about this? (laughs)
Incidentally, this is a rare two-shot of a watch with a dot second hand at the tip!!
It is said that this is mainly seen in the R series of Ref.1016.
It's extremely rare to have these two together.
The individual we are introducing is the R number on the right!!
Overall condition is good with only minor scratches from use!!
The middle case is also sturdy!
As you can see, the case sides are also in relatively good condition!!
Buckle clasp code is "J12"
The bracelet is in good condition with almost no signs of wear!
Wrist shot!!
It's a watch that you'll grow attached to and find yourself looking at the second hand all the time!!
