Hello!

This is Kaneko from Commit Ginza!
Today we have the final L model of the Vintage Explorer.

Rolex Explorer All Tritium
Ref.1016 Serial.L2 (manufactured around 1989)
Cal.1570 Hard bracelet 78360/FF580 Clasp code N7
Accessories: Box, warranty card (430: Singapore/September 1989)
SOLD OUT!!

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

The Vintage Explorer has undergone various specification changes over its long production period.
The model we are introducing this time is the L number, which is considered to be the final model number.
There is also the E series, which is produced in extremely limited numbers.
The L number is also a rare item that you rarely come across.
I have the impression that even the R number is becoming less and less common these days.

The dial is the final dial manufactured from around 1986 to around 1990.
It's a well-balanced and popular dial!

There are small scratches on the windshield,
The dial is in good condition even with a magnifying glass.

The luminous index is also in perfect condition.

The luminous material is all tritium.
The condition of the luminous hands is also good.

The colors of the luminous hands and indexes match perfectly!

The condition is that the exterior has been finished and overhauled at our affiliated workshop,
Overall, it is in good condition.

The middle case has a slightly polished feel,
The atmosphere is not particularly affected.

Buckle clasp code is "N7"


The bracelet is in good condition, although it is slightly worn and out of date!

Accessories include box, warranty card, serial tag, chronometer tag,
We also have the Oyster booklet (88) and calendar (89-90).


As this is the final L model, it comes with a warranty and serial tag, which is a nice feature.

Overall, this is the final L-number specimen that I would highly recommend!!

You have a great look on your face!!
The condition of this dial is amazing!

Wrist shot!!
It's simple, has an exquisite size, and is cool and highly valuable!
This is a recommended vintage model with many great features!

The highly popular vintage Explorer "Ref. 1016/L2"
This is a recommended item with excellent dial condition and a warranty!
With all these conditions in place, the market price of 1016 seems to be on the rise.
If you're looking for it, be sure to check it out!!
Thank you for your consideration.
