The "Ref. 14270" was manufactured from E serial to P serial (around 1991 to 2000).
This classic 5-digit sports model boasts a stable popularity with its attractive 36mm case.

Similar to the 16520, the market price for this model has been rising sharply recently.
It seems to have maintained a stable market price recently.

This particular item is an early S3 serial number.

It features tritium lume, lug holes, and a single buckle, perfectly capturing the characteristics of an early model.
Above all, it's an incredibly cool piece with a unique aging that makes a huge impact.

Please take a look!

What do you think of this aging?
The black lacquer dial has changed to a texture that resembles frost or ice.

This unique appearance, reminiscent of fine frost crystals,
is apparently called a "frozen dial."

While this type of dial is prone to aging over time,
it's quite rare to see one with such pronounced and strong aging.

Although it's an aged dial, it's surprisingly not just a dirty dial.
That's what makes vintage and semi-vintage Rolexes so interesting (lol).

The glossy texture of the black lacquer remains firm around the outer edge of the dial,
further enhancing this unique aging.

The contrast with the unique aging that spreads towards the center is exceptional,
and it shows a captivating expression that makes you involuntarily gaze at it!

The luminous material is all tritium.
The hand lume is in good condition with no cracks!

The tritium lume has also aged nicely.

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

Observe the condition of the middle case!
It's an attractive case that maintains its original form!

As you can see, the lugs are perfectly defined!

The buckle clasp code is "S6".

The bracelet, which matches the age, is in good condition with almost no stretch!

It comes with the box, warranty card, and serial tag.

It's a nice bonus to have both the warranty card and serial tag!

Wrist shot!
This exquisite piece with its perfectly aged dial is incredibly cool!
Please come and see it in person!
