Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce a recommended wristwatch!

Today we have a superb mirror dial vintage Explorer/Ref.1016!!

ROLEX EXPLORER All Tritium
Ref.1016 Serial.15 (Manufactured circa 1967)
Cal.1570 FF58/7206 Clasp 66.4 Caseback 67.1
Accessories: Watch head only
SOLD OUT!!

 

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

This is a vintage Explorer that has undergone various specification changes during its long production period.

Nonetheless, the recent Ref.1016 models feel very strong right now!!
It has become a very popular vintage model that is currently in demand.

This arrival is a rare mirror dial.

Its beautiful mirror-like luster is attractive,
and it is a rare dial, of which there are overwhelmingly few among vintage models.

Currently, there is a continued shortage of 1016 models,
and a top-condition mirror dial is particularly hard to come by.

Among them, this particular piece is highly recommended for its lustrous mirror dial that retains its beautiful sheen!!

How about it?! This is a beautiful mirror dial that can be called a top-class luster!!

Recently,we've had a string of shining mirror dials, which are hard to find, come in.
However, there are many people looking for well-conditioned pieces,
and all of them have been quickly reserved.

It seems that opportunities to find mirrors of this class on the market have drastically decreased,
so it's definitely a piece to secure if you come across one!

The dial condition has only minor small scratches,
but no noticeable scratches or deterioration can be seen!

The condition of the luminous material on the indexes is also good!

The luminous material is all tritium.
The balance with the luminous indexes is also well maintained!

The gold lettering stands out beautifully against the jet black!
The shine of the logo and minute lines painted in gold is incredibly cool!

Although there are signs of use,
the case and bracelet are solid and in good condition.

As you can see, the mid-case is solid with no excessive finishing.

The edges of the lugs are sharp, making for a very impressive case!

The rivet bracelet is an essential detail for models of this era!!

The buckle clasp is from the 4th quarter of 1966.

The rivet bracelet, matching the era, is in good condition with only slight stretching!

Wrist shot!!
Please enjoy the beautiful luster of this mirror!!

Vintage Explorer "Ref.1016/67"

The market price is gradually rising, so if you're interested, be sure to check it out!
For customers looking for a super cool 1016 mirror dial,
please consider this piece.
