Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will be introducing some recommended watches. Today, we have a highly-rated vintage Explorer.

Rolex Explorer All Tritium
Ref.1016 Serial.R8 (manufactured around 1988)
Cal.1570 78360/FF580 Clasp Code M2
Accessories: Box
COMING SOON!!

The third-generation Explorer "Ref. 1016" manufactured from around 1959 to around 1989

The model we will introduce today is an R-number 1016, a later model.
The R number, which is nearing the end of production, is a popular item that always moves quickly in our store!

The dial is MK5, characterized by its sharp logo.
The dial is appropriate for the period.

The matte black dial is in very good condition!

I recommend finding older models as they are relatively easy to find in beautiful condition like this one!

The luminous material is all tritium.
The hands and indexes are evenly colored cream.

The luminous hands are in excellent condition with no cracks visible even when viewed with a magnifying glass.

The dial condition is also attractive,
The case and bracelet are in good condition too!!

There are some scratches from use,
The case is in good condition with no excessive finishing!

The lug legs are thick and have sharp edges.

Buckle clasp code is "M5"

The bracelet is in good condition with only slight wear and tear.

Wrist shot!!
Its exquisite size and timeless design are what make it so appealing!
It's cool no matter how many times you look at it!!

The highly popular vintage Explorer "Ref. 1016/R8"
The dial, luminous material, case and overall condition are excellent, making this a highly recommended watch!
Many people are looking for late-year R-series models, and they tend to sell relatively quickly, so if you're looking for one, don't miss out! We also recommend this as an entry-level vintage model!
If you are looking for a good example of Ref. 1016, please consider this one.
