Hello!
I'm Kaneko from Commit Ginza.
Today, I'd like to introduce a rare model of the El Primero-powered Daytona.
ROLEX Daytona El Primero MK3 Dial All Tritium
Ref.16520 Serial.L6 (Manufactured around 1989)
Cal.4030 78360/FF503 Clasp code N4
Accessories: Box and warranty card (400: Hong Kong/stamped 1991)
SOLD OUT!!
It's back in stock! If you're looking for one, please consider it.
The El Primero-powered Daytona "Ref.16520" was manufactured from R-serial to P-serial.
The item I'm introducing today has characteristics of an early model!
Commonly known as the "Inverted 6 Dial."
This is an early dial, manufactured until around the S-serial, where the number "6" on the 12-hour sub-dial at the 6 o'clock position is inverted to appear as a "9," which is why it's called "Inverted 6" or "Reversed 6."
Overseas, it's also called "INVERTED 6."
The buckle is a single buckle.
Since this item has a clasp code of "N4," it has an age-appropriate buckle.
As a characteristic of early models,
an "Inverted 6" dial with a single buckle is an essential point.
The matte stainless steel single bracelet with the inverted 6 dial
looks even cooler with a retro feel!
The recommended point of this individual is, above all, this dial!!
The dial is a rare MK3!
While the floating MK1 and 4-line MK2 tend to get attention,
this MK3 dial is also a rare dial that is not widely circulated.
In particular, the white MK3 is rarely seen!
The "COSMOGRAPH" lettering is not separated by a space,
but the serif lettering, just like the MK1, makes for a subtly cool dial!
The dial condition is exceptionally good,
maintaining a clean state even under a loupe!!
For such a rare dial, this condition is a welcome point!
The luminous material is all tritium.
The condition of the hand lume is also good!
The condition shows somescuffs and scratches from use, but
there are no noticeable scratches, and the condition is good!!
It has been polished, but not overly so,
and the middle case is relatively solid!
As you can see, the lugs are perfectly sharp!
The consistent MK3 bezel has some signs of use,
but the bezel circumference is not worn out, giving it a good impression!
Accessories include the box, warranty card, serial tag, chronometer tag,
Daytona booklet (USA88), Oyster booklet (ENG90), calendar (91-92),
extra links (full set), and a pass case!
The white-lettered early Daytona booklet is rare!
Wrist shot!!
The fact that it's an MK3 dial, if you look closely, is a masterpiece that stirs the hearts of enthusiasts!
