We have restocked! If you are looking for it, please consider purchasing it!

We have just received a Rolex Explorer II Ref. 16570 with a black dial and patina finish, so we'd like to introduce it to you right away!

The model year is L number/an early model manufactured around 1989-90.

This particular one is a patina specimen with strong tritium burns!

When you think of the Ref. 16570, many people probably think of a white dial with patina.
It's surprising how hard it is to find a black dial with patina.
It is also a model that connoisseurs are looking for!

Since it will be the initial L number, the dial will also be the initial dial.
This retro typeface is what I personally like about it.
It's a dial that you can't find when you actually try to look for it.

The dial condition is very slightly deteriorated as seen with a magnifying glass,
The overall shine is perfect and it is in beautiful condition.

The luminous material is all tritium.
There is a clear burn mark on the luminous hands!

There is a faint crack on the luminous hour hand,
The condition is good!

The condition is that there are scratches and scuffs due to use,
The individual condition is good!

The middle case is in the condition you see here!
It is impressive and maintains its original form.

The extra thick lug feet have excellent hairline and edge lines!

The horn-like lug legs are just so appealing!!

Clasp code "O10" A well-balanced single bracelet

It's in good condition with almost no wrinkles!!

The back cover sticker is still there!!

Accessories include box, warranty card (no official name), chronometer certificate, chronometer tag,
We have the EX booklet (88), Oyster booklet (89), and calendar (89-90)!

The earliest EX booklet from 1988 is also quite rare.

Wrist shot!!
The burnt tritium looks great against the black dial!

All tritium/black dial Explorer II "Ref. 16570/L7"
This is a superb example with an attractive original dial and excellent patina finish!!
The overall condition is good and the accessories are plentiful, so I highly recommend it!

Customers looking for the 16570/black letter patina dial,
Please consider it!
