Hello!
Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce a recommended watch!
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 P6
Accessories: Box, warranty card (430: Singapore/October 1991 stamp)
In-store price: 3,993,000 yen (tax included)
It's back in stock! Don't miss out if you're looking for it!
The "Ref.14270" was manufactured from E-serial to P-serial (around 1991 to 2000).
The model in stock this time is an early "Blackout" model, manufactured around 1991.
Among "Ref.14270" models with all tritium and a single buckle,
this is a rare model with an overwhelmingly small number of early production units.
Even so, the first-generation Blackout is popular!
It's a super popular model that sells quickly every time we get it in stock,
so if you're looking for one, you should definitely check it out!
"Blackout"
This dial, confirmed on the early batches "E-serial" and "X-serial" of "Ref.14270",
has black lines instead of white on the 3, 6, and 9 indices.
Incidentally, as a side note, this model is strangely overwhelmingly common in E34 and E81 serials.
This particular piece is also an E81 serial.
There are two types of crown logo and dial markings:
silver letter and white letter.
The one we are introducing this time has an incredibly cool silver letter dial.
The lettering is thick and bold.
Here's a comparison shot with a Ref.14270 W-serial (right).
Can you see the differences in the index specifications
and letter colors compared to the model on the right??
The silver letter x blackout is a Ref.14270,
but the atmosphere changes so much that it feels like a completely different watch.
Beyond the crown mark and logo,
everything from the minute track to T-SWISS-T＜25 is in silver lettering.
Important point!
The dial condition is extremely good,
maintaining a clean state even under a loupe.
This particular piece has tritium luminous material that has turned creamy,
giving it a semi-vintage feel.
A "blackout" dial that has aged is a rare impression.
The luminous material is all tritium.
The luminous material on the hands is in clean condition with no cracks!
The second hand has the popular dot tip!!
Although blackout models with a dot-tipped second hand are relatively common,
this second hand is still a welcome feature!!
The case and bracelet show minor scratches from use,
but overall, they are in very clean condition.
As you can see, the mid-case
is in superb condition with no signs of thinning!
The lugs are also perfectly defined!
*There is a chip on the glass without the crown etching.
The buckle clasp code is "P6".
The single bracelet is crisp and shows absolutely no stretch,
in top condition!
The accessories include the box, warranty card, serial tag, and extra links (full links)!
Above all, the inclusion of the warranty card and serial tag is a welcome bonus!!
The booklets are missing, but we'll try our best to find them!
While prices for single tritium models and 14270s in general are rising,
the future of the Blackout model also looks promising.
Finally, a wrist shot!!
Patina Blackout!! So cool~!
Please try it on your wrist! You'll understand the charm of this model.
The "Blackout" is an early model of the 5-digit Explorer that is overwhelmingly rare.
The silver letter blackout is always cool to look at!!
This is a superb masterpiece from the early 90s, whose rarity increases year by year.
This piece is an excellent example with attractive features such as its aged tritium and superb dial, case, and bracelet condition! The warranty card is also perfectly complete, so it's highly recommended!
This is a target model that you should secure now, so if you are looking for one, definitely check it out!
For customers looking for Ref.14270/Blackout, please consider it.
