Hello!

This is Kaneko from Commit Ginza.

Rolex Daytona El Primero 225 Taki MK3 Dial All Tritium
Ref.16520 Serial.L3 (manufactured around 1989)
Cal.4030 78360/FF503 Clasp Code M5
Accessories: Box
SOLD OUT!!
We have restocked! If you are looking for this item, please consider purchasing it.

Yes! The first one is a stainless steel Daytona/Ref. 16520!

This is an early Ref. 16520 manufactured around 1989, with attractive features such as a bezel and dial.

First, let's take a look at the bezel!

○MK2 bezel "225 Taki" bezel

Pay attention to the area between the "200" and "300" marks on the scale.
The scale on the MK3 bezel and later only changes to "240",
The MK2 bezel has two markings: "225" and "250".
This is a very rare early bezel commonly known as "225 Taki".

There is ink loss on the bezel,
This has its own charm and creates an old-fashioned atmosphere.

The dial is a rare MK3!
The floating MK1 and 4-line MK2 tend to attract attention, but
This MK3 dial is also a rare dial that is not often seen on the market.

The letters in COSMOGRAPH are not far apart,
The serifed letters are the same as the MK1, making for a casually cool dial!

Compared to the T SWISS MADE T marking on the MK1 dial,
Although it's a little understated, this T-notation with its clear serifs is very tasteful.

Of course, the "6" at the 6 o'clock position on the 12-hour counter is inverted to look like a "9," making it what's commonly known as an "inverted 6" dial.

I have the impression that many black MK3 dials have deteriorated.
This specimen is in relatively good condition, so it gets high marks!

The condition is good with some wear and tear from use, but there are no noticeable scratches.
The bracelet (full links) is slightly wrinkled, but it is a sturdy bracelet that suits its age.

As you can see, the lug feet of the middle case are
It's perfect and leaves a very good impression!!

Accessories include box, chronometer tag, Daytona booklet, calendar (88-89), etc.
We have everything you need!

The included white-printed early Daytona booklet is a nice touch!

A rare model with a 225mm Taki bezel and MK3 dial!
Although there are scratches from use, it has an outstanding atmosphere and is highly recommended!
The selling price is also very attractive!
If you are looking for an early El Primero, be sure to consider this!

Ref.16523 Serial.R9 (manufactured around 1989)
Cal.4030 78363/FF403 Clasp Code N2
Accessories: Box, warranty card (440: Taiwan)

The second one is the El Primero-equipped Daytona combination model "Ref. 16523"!

It has the original white lettering, so the edges of the sub-dials are black!

This specimen has rare points and is in good condition.
This is a recommended item that comes with a box and warranty card!

The rare feature of this particular unit is the dial!

Like the Ref. 16520 introduced earlier, this is an MK3 dial that is extremely difficult to obtain!

Personally, I have never handled the white-lettered MK3,
I was a little excited (lol)

The luminous material is all tritium. It has a beautiful burnt finish.

The dial condition is small with some small scratches visible through a magnifying glass.
It is in very good condition!

I can't get enough of this letter with dialogue.
Personally, I love the letters that give off a sense of age!

Like the black letters I introduced earlier,
The DAYTONA logo also comes with serifs!

There are some scratches and small marks due to use,
There are no major scratches and the condition is good.

The MK4 bezel is also in good condition.

The middle case is also thick and very sturdy!

Buckle clasp code is "N2"

The bracelet is suitable for the age and has some wear,
It's in impressive condition!

Accessories include box, warranty card, chronometer tag, Daytona booklet, Oyster booklet,
We have the calendar (90-91) and extra frames (full frames)!

Rare! An early model with the MK3 dial!
The burnt tritium looks amazing on the bold white lettering of the early model!!
If you look closely, you'll see that it has an MK3 dial, making it a masterpiece that will appeal to enthusiasts!
This is a recommended item that is in good overall condition and comes with a warranty!
If you are looking for a rare El Primero/combination model, please consider this!

What did you think?

We just happened to have two new MK3 dial El Primero Daytonas in stock at the same time, so we wanted to introduce them to you right away!

It's not flashy, but it has a subtle, tasteful, rare dial, "MK3"

The existence of a dial like this makes the Elprix Daytona interesting!!

Customers who have been captivated by the charm of the MK3 dial,
We look forward to hearing from you!
