Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce a recommended wristwatch!

Today's watch is the Ref. 14270 with an exquisite aged dial.

Rolex Explorer All Tritium
Ref.14270 Serial.N2 (Manufactured circa 1991)
Cal.3000 Sub bracelet 93150/FF558B Clasp code R2
Accessories: Box, warranty card (USA)
SOLD OUT!!

 

The popular semi-vintage model "Ref. 14270" of the highly popular Explorer I has arrived, so let me introduce it right away!!

The "Ref. 14270" was manufactured from E-serial to P-serial (circa 1991 to 2000).

This particular model is an early N-serial piece.

This piece perfectly captures the characteristics of an early model with its tritium luminous paint and lug holes.

Above all, it's an incredibly impactful piece with a truly unique aging that you simply must see!

What do you think of this aging?!

While it looks like a spider dial with marble-like deterioration,
the very strong aging gives it an exceptional character!

It seems that a significantly high percentage of early 14270 models show deterioration, but a dial with such strong aging as this is, conversely, quite rare.

In addition, the tritium luminous paint has darkened intensely,

giving it an incredible aura.

The contrast between the white lines of 3, 6, and 9 and the deeply aged tritium luminous paint
is just so cool.

The luminous material is all tritium.

The hand luminous material is in good condition with no visible cracks!!

The condition shows overall signs of use,

but it fully embodies the semi-vintage aesthetic,

giving it a rugged impression.

There's no feeling of over-polishing, and the mid-case is solid!

The lugs are thick and perfectly defined!

While the dial's aging is a distinctive feature of this piece, this one is rare in a way because it comes with a Submariner bracelet.

Since a US guarantee is included, we can confirm that it was shipped with the 9315/Submariner bracelet!

While you occasionally see pieces like the EXII or GMT with Submariner bracelets, it's rare to come across one with a complete US guarantee.

The bracelet has some stretch, but it doesn't detract from its overall character.

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 ref seal.

Wrist shot!!

It's a "クセスゴ~!!" (クセスゴ~!! - an expressive term for something with an extraordinary/addictive charm) piece, but...

The unique aging makes it an exquisitely cool item!!

The popular model, Explorer I "Ref. 14270/N2 serial number,"

is a semi-vintage model packed with charms unique to this era, including its impactful and exquisite aging, the discoloration of the tritium, and the Submariner bracelet!

The case condition is excellent, and all accessories are included, making it highly recommended!!

To customers looking for a Ref. 14270/early model with character, please consider this piece!
