Hello!
This is Kaneko from Commit Ginza!
This will be the last event of the year, and as is customary every year,
I would like to introduce the 10 most memorable Rolex models that I recommended on my blog in 2024!
This year, I was once again troubled by the choice, but I have finally chosen after careful selection.
Please enjoy!
So let's take a look right away!!
No.1.
"GMT Master" "1675/3" Root Beer Excellent quality
Rolex GMT Master Root Beer All Tritium
Ref.1675/3 Serial.51 series (manufactured around 1976-77)
Cal.1570 FF480/78363
Accessories: Box, warranty card (stamped Hong Kong/October 1977)
Yes! The first one is the GMT Master, Ref. 1675/3 Root Beer.
Root beer seems to be becoming less and less available these days.
It's really hard to find one that is in particularly good condition and has good matching.
Meanwhile, this one suddenly arrived.
It was a truly treasure-finding piece, with an outstanding presence.
The dial, luminous material, bezel, case, and bracelet were all in top condition.
What I particularly fell in love with was the brown gold bezel insert.
The beautiful insert with the brown color still intact was really attractive and cool!
Furthermore, this particular item came with a punching guarantee.
This excellent product comes with a warranty, making it a real treasure!
No.2.
『Submariner』「5508」Guardless Submariner
Rolex Submariner All Tritium
Ref.5508 Serial.76 series (manufactured around 1962)
Cal.1530 Rivet bracelet 7206/FF80 Clasp 66.4 Back cover 62.2
Accessories: Main unit only
The second model is the Ref. 5508, the successor to the Ref. 6536-1, which was released in 1958 and features a 6mm crown.
The brass bezel and slim case of the Guardless Submariner are extremely cool.
The 38mm size is also appealing.
Even with a Guardless Submariner like this, it is very difficult to find one in good condition.
This particular watch has a shiny dial and is in excellent condition.
The case and bracelet were in good condition.
The beautiful jet black mirror is just too much.
It was such a wonderful item that I wanted one too.
I am grateful to have been able to handle such an auction-class specimen!
No. 3.
"Explorer" "Ref.1016" Exquisite Tropical Mirror
Rolex Explorer Tropical Mirror
Ref.1016 Serial.11 (manufactured around 1965)
Accessories: Main unit only
Cal.1560 FF58/7206 Clasp code 66.4 Back cover 65.1
The third one is the Vintage Explorer "Ref. 1016".
The most attractive feature of this particular watch is the tropical mirror dial with its striking brown color.
This is one of the most aged tropical mirrors I have ever handled.
It is an artistic dial with an exquisite gradation change.
Wow, what a nice color!!
The actual item was an incredibly beautiful piece, shining with a golden glow.
The dial condition is generally good.
It was a wonderful piece with no sign of any luminous activity.
Furthermore, the parts are consistent and the overall condition is good.
It was a rare specimen that was flawless .

No4.
"Milgauss" "Ref.1019" Black Dial
Rolex Milgauss All Tritium
Ref.1019 Serial.61 (manufactured around 1980)
Accessories: Box, warranty card (stamped USA/October 1990)
Cal.1580 FF580/78360 Clasp engraved O8 Back cover 70.2
The fourth one is a vintage Milgauss "Ref. 1019".
The Ref.1019 is available in two colors, black and silver.
The black original dial is extremely rare.
It's rare to see such a thing.
It was not a very popular model at the time,
The black dial, red logo, and red hands are very cool.
The condition of the dial and luminous material of this item was good,
The condition of the case was also outstanding and it looked really cool.
Furthermore, it is a collector's item that comes with the warranty card from that time.
It was such a rare specimen that I thought we probably wouldn't see any more like it in the future.
No5.
"Daytona" "Ref.6265" Black/Big Red Final R number
Rolex Daytona Big Red All Tritium
Ref.6265 Serial.R3 (manufactured around 1987)
Cal.727 78350/FF571 Clasp Code L7
Accessories: Box, warranty card (810: Australia/October 1987 stamp)
The fifth one is the ever-popular hand-wound Daytona.
This particular example was a rare R model, believed to be the final serial number, and was in excellent condition, in what could be described as top condition.
The dial condition was excellent, with the sub-dials in particular in excellent condition.
The luminous hands were tritium hands in later years, but I remember that it was such a wonderful big red that it no longer mattered.
The bezel, case, and bracelet were all in top condition and of excellent condition, and it was a collector's item that also came with a warranty.
It's cool, and with all these conditions, this hand-wound Daytona has a lot of potential!
This was a bold decision that the customer made, and I agreed with it without question.
No6.
"Daytona" "Ref.16520" Patrizio
Rolex Daytona Patrizi All Tritium
Ref.16520 Serial.W6 (manufactured around 1994)

The sixth watch is the El Primero-equipped Daytona "Ref. 16520".
This one has recently been put up for sale,
The royal double cereal, Patrizio,
Above all, the way it was burned was the coolest thing ever.
Wow, it's a deep and beautiful burn.
The exquisite gradation aging is amazing!!
This is a one-owner car.
It was purchased in Guam at the time and was stored without being used for a while.
He said that when he noticed it, it had changed color.
There were scratches on the item, which had no particular repair history,
The dial condition was impeccable, and the crisp bezel and rugged case made it an extremely cool piece!

The retro "TIFFANY & CO." logo that is unique to this era just doesn't cut it.
I was surprised that this piece has the Tiffany double name and is in such good condition!!
Great MK3 insert on a Tiffany dial,
This rare item is especially cool with its impressive, cracking case!

The eighth model is the extremely rare "Porcelain" model, which is the most difficult to obtain among the El Primero-equipped Daytona "Ref. 16520" and is the coveted model among enthusiasts!
The dial has a glossy and transparent enamel look, which is characteristic of the earliest white dials .
This dial has an aura that makes it stand out among the 16520 models.
Wow, so beautiful!!
This dial can be summed up in one word: it is a rare dial that gives off a divine aura that makes you want to stare at it forever.
The number of pieces is extremely small and the dial is extremely beautiful.
It's a must-see for Elpri fans.
The enquiries were also amazing!
We are grateful to be able to handle such a top-of-the-line El Primero model!
No.9.
"Sea-Dweller" "Ref. 16600" COMEX

Accessories: Box, warranty card (119/open)
The ninth watch is the extremely rare Sea-Dweller/Ref. 16600/COMEX .
The demand for COMEX double names has been growing in Japan in recent years.
Currently, there are very few of these models in circulation, making them an extremely rare model that can only be found at overseas auctions or limited vintage shops .
Generally, Ref.16600/COMEX is divided into early and late models.
This is the early model N number.
The atmosphere changes completely when the COMEX logo is added!
The dial and case are in excellent condition.
The luminous material was all tritium, and the dot-tip second hand was an attractive piece.
A COMEX-exclusive 119/shipping country code warranty is also included.
It was truly a collector's item.
Considering the extremely small production volume of COMEX,
This is a model that is sure to receive even more recognition in the future!

Rolex Daytona Low Letter All Tritium
Ref.6263 Serial.37 (manufactured around 1974)

Well then!! The last 10th one is the manual winding Daytona/Ref.6263!
This is a serial number 37, manufactured around 1974.
It is a dial without any Daytona notation above the 12-hour counter!
The unmarked dials are also famous for their wide variety,
This particular example has a dial known as a low lettering, with the words "ROLEX OYSTER COSMOGRAPH" written in three lines slightly toward the center.
This is a very rare low letter dial,
Furthermore, this particular watch has a rare dial that features a large sub-dial known as a "big eye."
The dial condition is excellent,
It is in excellent condition with no scratches,
The luminous material was also in perfect condition.
Furthermore, the case and bracelet are in good condition.
With such a rare dial, it's amazing that it has managed to maintain this condition!!

No11.
"Daytona" "Ref.6240" Black Jumbo
Rolex Daytona Jumbo
Ref.6240 Serial.14 series (manufactured around 1966)
Manual winding Cal.722 7205/FF60 Clasp 66.4
Accessories: Main unit only
Sorry!! I said I would introduce 10 books, but
I really wanted to include this model, so please let me change it to 11 again this year!!
The last one is the Ref. 6240, a special model among the hand-wound Daytonas!
This model was generally a hand-wound Daytona with a pump pusher.
In the 1960s, screw-in push buttons were adopted.
This is a rare model that is also known as the prototype of Ref. 6263.
The most distinctive feature of this model is the brass/MK0 pusher!!
When the gold-colored brass pushers are attached,
That's going to be a really cool face.
The dial features a large "DAYTONA" logo, as well as an MK1 bezel.
The parts were all in good condition and the case was in good condition!
Even so, this particular one is consistently cool no matter how many times you look at it.
Rather than being in bad condition, it was a hand-wound Daytona that was stylish and had a great sense of style.
It was a truly outstanding piece that made me realize just how amazing a hand-wound Daytona can be with such presence, even with just one pusher.
This is definitely one of the models we would like to carry again next year.
