Hello!
Kaneko from Commit Ginza will be introducing a recommended wristwatch!
Today, we have a Ref. 14270 with a dial that has undergone exquisite aging.
ROLEX Explorer All Tritium
Ref. 14270 Serial.N2 (Manufactured around 1991)
Cal. 3000 Sub-bracelet 93150/FF558B Clasp code R2
Accessories: Box, warranty card (USA)
In-store price: 1,892,000 yen (tax included)
We've just received the highly popular semi-vintage "Ref. 14270" Explorer I, so let's take a look!
The "Ref. 14270" was manufactured from E-serial to P-serial (around 1991 to 2000). The one we have in stock now is an early N-serial model.
This particular model perfectly captures the characteristics of early models, such as tritium luminous markers and a case with lug holes. What's more, it's an incredibly striking piece with unique aging that leaves a lasting impression. Please take a look!
How about that aging?
It looks like a spider dial with marble-like deterioration, but the strong aging creates an exceptional atmosphere!
While it seems that a large proportion of early 14270 models show some deterioration, a dial with such strong aging as this one is quite rare.
Additionally, the tritium luminous markers have developed a deep patina, giving off an incredible aura.
The contrast between the white lines of the 3, 6, and 9 and the deeply aged tritium luminous markers is so cool.
The luminous material is all tritium.
The luminous material on the hands is in good condition with no visible cracks!
Overall, it has signs of use, but it fully exudes the atmosphere of a semi-vintage watch, giving it a rugged impression.
There's no noticeable polishing, and the mid-case remains solid!
The lugs are thick and perfectly aligned!
While the dial's aging is a distinctive feature of this particular piece, it's also unusual in that it's fitted with a Submariner bracelet.
Since it comes with a US guarantee, we can confirm that it was originally shipped with a 9315/Submariner bracelet!
While we occasionally see EXII and GMT models fitted with Submariner bracelets, it's very rare to find one with a genuine US guarantee.
The bracelet shows some stretch, but it doesn't detract from its overall appeal.
The accessories include the box, warranty card (USA), serial tag, chronometer tag, Explorer booklet (USA93), calendar (92-93), and extra links (full set).
The outer box has a 14270 reference sticker.
Wrist shot!
It's certainly a unique piece, but the one-of-a-kind aging makes it an exceptionally cool item!
The popular Explorer I "Ref. 14270/N2" is a semi-vintage model packed with charms unique to this era, including its impactful, exquisitely aged dial, tritium patina, and Submariner bracelet!
The case condition is excellent, and it comes with all its accessories, making it highly recommended!
For customers seeking a "Ref. 14270" early model with character, please consider this piece!
