Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce some recommended watches!
Today we have a collector's item: a highly popular semi-vintage model.

Rolex Explorer I All Tritium
Ref.14270 Serial.X8 (Manufactured around 1991)
Cal.3000 78360/FF558B Clasp code S4
Accessories: Box, warranty card (10: Switzerland/March 1994 stamp)
SOLD OUT!!

The "Ref. 14270" was manufactured from the E-series to the P-series (from around 1991 to 2000).
This shipment includes early models manufactured around 1991.

"Side-hole case, tritium luminous hands, single buckle"
There are many people looking for the early models that have these characteristics.
This could be considered a semi-vintage model that's currently attracting a lot of attention.

The market price for the initial models has risen significantly recently.
Many people who were looking at the price a little while ago are probably surprised.

I have the impression that the prices of particularly high-quality specimens with strong tanning have risen considerably.

The specimen we're introducing today is a high-quality example with proper tanning, and we highly recommend it!

What do you think?
This has a beautiful patina!

Compared to the Submariner, Sea-Dweller, and other models,
It seems that there are relatively few Ref.14270 watches that have aged in that way.
It's rare to see a patina specimen this intensely burnt.

This adorable crown logo is so endearing!
The Rolex logo lettering is bold and gives the dial a distinctive look.

The dial is inevitably prone to deterioration over time,
This specimen shows only slight deterioration, at a level only visible under a magnifying glass.
The dial is in excellent condition.

The luminous material is all tritium.
The luminous hands are in excellent condition, with no cracks visible.

The case and bracelet have some scratches from use,
This particular unit is in remarkably rare condition!

As you can see, the middle case maintains its perfect form!

I absolutely love the crisp, cracked case with its finely textured hairline finish.
So cool!

The buckle clasp code is "S4".

The single bracelet is in excellent condition with virtually no signs of wear or looseness!

Accessories include box (with reference seal), warranty card, chronometer tag, etc.
EX booklet (92/torn), Oyster booklet (93), and calendar (92-93) are all included!!

The Swiss/Buffeler Guarantee is a nice bonus!

The outer box comes with a sticker!

Wrist shot!!
Enjoy the amazing burn marks and cracked case!!

A highly popular semi-vintage model: Explorer I "Ref. 14270/X8"
This is an exceptionally well-conditioned specimen with a superb patina!
Make sure to grab these collector's items while you can!!
For customers looking for a top-condition Ref.14270/early model,
Please consider it!
