SOLD OUT!!
The third generation Explorer "Ref. 1016" manufactured from around 1959 to around 1989
This is an R number 1016, a later model year.
There is also the E series, which is produced in extremely limited numbers.
The R and L numbers are popular model years that are nearing the end of production.
The dial is the final dial manufactured between 1986 and 1989.
A well-balanced and popular dial!
The dial condition is in good condition even with a magnifying glass.
The index luminous material is also in perfect condition.
It seems that older models are less susceptible to tritium burns,
As expected, the luminous glow on this one is quite subtle.
The luminous material is all tritium.
While many needle luminous watches inevitably deteriorate over time,
This specimen is in excellent condition.
The condition of the case and bracelet is that there are small scratches from use, but no noticeable scratches.
It is an excellent specimen that has been kept in good overall condition.
The middle case is in the condition you see here!
This is a very impressive case without any sense of excessive thinness.
The edge lines and hairlines of the lug feet also look nice.
Although it is a high-year model of the Ref.1016,
It's rare to find a model in such good condition more than 30 years after production!
There are some small scratches on the side of the case,
It is in good condition!!
The bracelet with the clasp code "L11" is suitable for the same period.
There is a very slight wrinkle,
The condition is good and beautiful!
Accessories include a warranty card, international service warranty card, and booklet!
What's attractive is that the manufacturer's overhaul will be completed in May 2024!
Finally, a wrist shot!!
Wow, it's such a cool model no matter how you look at it!
The perfect size is also appealing!
The popular vintage Explorer "Ref.1016/R8"
The parts are well matched and the overall condition is excellent.
It comes with all the necessary warranties and has recently undergone a manufacturer overhaul, making it a recommended item!
It is also recommended for those who are considering purchasing a vintage model for the first time!!
