Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce some recommended watches!
Today we are introducing a recommended item that comes with a warranty, a popular vintage Explorer.

Rolex Explorer MK1 All Tritium
Ref.1016 Serial.22 series (manufactured around 1969-70)
Cal.1570 Winding bracelet 7206/FF80 Clasp 71.3 Back cover 69.2
Accessories: Box (later), warranty card (domestic regular: stamped February 1973)
SOLD OUT!!

The third generation Explorer "Ref. 1016" manufactured from around 1959 to around 1990

During the long manufacturing period, various changes were made to the specifications.
It's a vintage Explorer.

This is a very popular vintage model that sells quickly in our store.
The item we have in stock this time is the early matte dial/MK1 manufactured around 1969-70.

The MK1 dial is called the "Frogfoot" dial because the font on the crown mark resembles a frog's foot.

The dial features the adorable crown mark that is unique to vintage models!

The appeal of this particular watch is the excellent condition of the dial and the beautiful cream-colored tritium luminous paint!!

I have the impression that many MK1 dials are in poor condition due to their age, but
The dial of this watch is in exceptionally good condition.

As you can see, the index luminous material is in excellent condition with no missing parts!!

The luminous material is all tritium, but the luminous hands were later replaced with tritium hands.
The dial and index luminous condition are good.
The atmosphere hasn't been compromised at all!

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

The case has some scratches and polished finish.
The condition is good!!

The buckle clasp engraving matches the 3rd period of 1971!!

The final rivet bracelet is included.
This is a piece that exudes a vintage feel!

The bracelet is slightly wrinkled,
This is a rivet bracelet that makes a great impression when you hold it in your hand!

Accessories include box (later), warranty card, chronometer certificate, and extra links.

The fact that it comes with a rare warranty and chronometer certificate is a big plus!

Wrist shot!! This is a recommended item with a unique rivet bracelet!!
Enjoy the beautiful frogfoot dial!!
We're also working hard on the sales price!

The popular vintage explorer "Ref.1016"
This is a highly recommended watch with a very beautiful MK1 dial and beautifully burnt tritium!!
This Ref. 1016 in such good overall condition and with a warranty is becoming less and less available, so don't miss out!!
The overhaul was completed at our affiliated workshop in September 2023.
Customers looking for the Ref.1016/Frogfoot dial,
Please consider this.
