Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce you to some recommended watches!
Today we have a rare, late-model vintage Explorer.

Rolex Explorer All Tritium Tip Dot
Ref.1016 Serial.R8 (manufactured around 1987-88)
Cal.1570 78360/FF580 Clasp code M4
Accessories: Box
SOLD OUT!!

The third-generation Explorer "Ref. 1016" manufactured from around 1959 to around 1990

During the long manufacturing period, various changes were made to the specifications.
It's a vintage Explorer.

Recently, 1016 has been very active at our store!!
All of the multiple bottles we had in stock have sold out, and we finally have one in stock!

Today we are introducing an R-number 1016, a model from a later model year.
The R series, which is nearing the end of production, is a popular item that moves quickly every time, so
If you're looking for a high-quality model, be sure to check this out!

The dial is a period-appropriate final dial featuring a sharp logo.

If you look closely at the matte black dial with a magnifying glass,
There is some deterioration due to age, but overall it is in good condition.

The luminous material is all tritium.
There is a very slight chip in the luminous hands,
The condition is good.

The rare point of this individual is,
It's a "tip dot second hand" with a luminous dot on the outside!!
Can you see that the dots are on the outside?

The second hand is mainly found in semi-vintage models,
It also exists in Ref.1016.

I wonder if I'm the only one who feels happy when I see this dot-tipped second hand (lol).

By the way, here is a rare two-shot of a watch with a dot second hand at the tip!!
The individual we are introducing is the R number on the left!!

It is said that this is mainly seen in the R series of Ref.1016.
It's extremely rare to have these two together.

The one on the right is a staff member at our store who has recently been obsessed with keeping globes close to him.
This is gorgeous Otsuka's favorite machine!!

It's a pretty interesting story (laughs).

Well!! This particular watch has a good case and bracelet condition and is highly recommended!

There are scratches from use all over the piece, but it's in good condition!

The middle case in particular is in excellent condition as you can see!

The lug legs are thick and look great!!

Buckle clasp code is "M4"

The bracelet, which matches the time period, is in good condition with only slight wear and tear!!

Wrist shot!! You look great!
It's a watch that you'll find yourself growing attached to and looking at the second hand!

Vintage Explorer "Ref. 1016/R8"
This is a rare piece with a dot second hand at the tip, which is extremely rare!
The case is in good condition and the parts are consistent, so I highly recommend it.
This is a rare specimen that is rarely available in our store,
If you are looking for Ref. 1016, please consider this item.
