Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce you to some recommended watches!
Today we have a rare early model of the 5-digit Explorer.

Rolex Explorer I Blackout All Tritium
Ref. 14270 Serial. E8 (manufactured around 1991)
Cal.3000 78360/FF558B Clasp Code P4
Accessories: Box, warranty card (160: UK/open)
SOLD OUT!!

"Ref. 14270" manufactured from E to P (around 1991 to 2000)
This time we have the early model "Blackout" manufactured around 1991.

This is an extremely rare model that was only available in the early production run of the all-tritium, single-buckle "Ref. 14270."

"Blackout"

It has been confirmed in the early lot "E" and "X" of "Ref.14270".
The dial has black lines instead of white at the 3, 6, and 9 indexes.

Although it is a very rare model,
Strangely enough, people come together to commit (laughs).

However, this trend could come to a halt at any time.
If you're looking for it, grab it while it's still available!

The crown logo and dial markings come in two types: silver letters and white letters.
This time we will be introducing a silver letter dial.

The blacked-out silver letters give it such a different feel compared to the regular model that it feels like a completely different item.

Currently, the white letter type is overwhelmingly more prevalent on the market.
Silver letters continue to be scarce.

In addition to the crown mark and logo,
All models, from the Minute Line to the T-SWISS-T<25, have silver letters.

The second hand has the popular dot tip!!

The Blackout model has a relatively high proportion of tip dots,
This second hand is definitely a nice feature!

The dial condition is slightly deteriorated, but
Overall it is in good condition.

The luminous material is all tritium.
The luminous hands are in excellent condition with no noticeable deterioration.

The condition is good, there are scratches on the case and bracelet,
Overall it is a very impressive and relatively beautiful specimen.

As you can see, the middle case is thick and sturdy and in good condition!

The edge lines are firm and sharp!

Buckle clasp code is "P4"
The ages match perfectly!

The single bracelet is also in good condition.
It is in good condition with only a few slight creases.

Accessories include box, warranty card, EX booklet (90), Oyster booklet (90), calendar (89-90)
We have it all!

The British guarantee is very attractive!

The outer box comes with a 14270 reflector seal.

Wrist shot!!
Blackout with silver letters, a great piece from the early 90s!!
The market price is stable at a high level, and it is a rare model with hidden potential.

Shining with a glossy black lacquer dial,
The black line 3, 6, and 9 indexes are irresistible!

Five-digit Explorer early model, Ref. 14270/E8 "Blackout"
Overall condition is good, the second hand has a dot at the tip,
Furthermore, the parts are all perfectly matched, making
this a highly recommended item!
It comes with all the accessories you need, so be sure to grab this Blackout while it's still available!
