Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce some recommended watches!
Today we have a vintage Explorer, a late model R number.

Rolex Explorer All Tritium
Ref.1016 Serial.R8 (manufactured around 1988)
Cal.1570 78360/FF580 Clasp Code M2
Accessories: Box, warranty card (400: Hong Kong/stamped May 1989)
Retail price: 3,498,000 yen (tax included)

The third generation Explorer "Ref. 1016" manufactured from around 1959 to around 1990
This is an R-number 1016, a later model year.

Recently, we have seen a rise in 1016 activity at our store.
Before I knew it, the stock of several bottles had been reduced to just a few.
It seems that everyone is attracted to this simple, timeless and excellent design.

Well then!! This particular watch has a dial that matches the era!
This is the final dial produced from around 1986 to around 1990, and it is a well-balanced and popular dial!

The luminous material is all tritium.
The final dial seems to be mostly white with no luminous marks,
This particular model also has minimal tritium luminous burn.

The luminous hands are in excellent condition with no cracks.

The condition of the dial and indexes is also in good condition.

Even so, this one has a really nice face!!

The condition is good with some scratches from use, but no major scratches.
This is a very impressive specimen!!

The middle case in particular is in excellent condition!!

The hairline on the rug feet is beautiful and the edge lines are well defined!

Clasp code "M"
The single bracelet is also perfectly matched in age.

The bracelet is sturdy and has very little crease!!

The accessories for this product are also wonderful and attractive!!
The box, warranty, serial tag, chronometer tag, EX booklet, Oyster booklet, extra links, and the receipt from when it was purchased at a shop in Hong Kong are all still included.

I'm happy that it comes with a punched guarantee and serial tag.
If you look hard enough, you can still find a 1016 with a guarantee attached,
The best part about this great product is that it comes with a guarantee!!

The outer box comes with a reflector seal!

Finally, a wrist shot!!
Wow, it's such a cool model no matter how you look at it!
What do you think, R generation?

The popular vintage Explorer "Ref.1016/R"
The overall condition is excellent and the parts
are in perfect condition.
A product like this with such a complete set of accessories is definitely rare!
This is a 1016/high-year model that is perfect for collections, so
If you are looking for a good specimen that meets all the requirements, don't miss this!
If you are looking for Ref.1016, please consider this one.
