Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce a recommended watch!

Today we have a vintage Explorer with a mirror dial!!

ROLEX Explorer All Tritium
Ref.1016 Serial.15 (Manufactured around 1966-67)
Cal.1570 FF58/7206 Clasp Code 67.1 Caseback 66.4
Accessories: Watch body only
SOLD OUT!! 

 

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

Even among the same Ref.1016, the ability to enjoy different expressions depending on the era is a charm unique to vintage Explorers.

This time, we are introducing a rare mirror dial that can only be seen on early models!!

The mirror dial, which shines with a lustrous sheen like a mirror, has a unique presence that is different from a matte dial, and is a popular specification among Ref.1016 models.

"Mirror Dial"

This is a glossy dial that existed in models manufactured until around 1967.

Among vintage models, which are attractive for their beautiful mirror-like shine, this is a rare dial with an overwhelmingly small number.

The gold-painted logo and minute lines are also features of the mirror dial. It's a dial with an elegant beauty different from current Rolex models! The recessed gold letters look amazing in person.

Mirror dials often show individual differences in the luster of the dial.

Currently, there are many pieces that have cracks and deterioration, but this particular piece has a top-level beautiful mirror dial.

The dial's luster is dazzling and in superb condition!!

The dial condition is also top-notch! Honestly, it's rare to come across such a beautiful mirror.

Please take a look at some photos showing the beautiful luster!!

What do you think?
The expression it shows when the light hits it is absolutely stunning.

One of the charms of a mirror dial is that it can appear jet black depending on the angle, or reflect light to show a beautiful, mirror-like shine.

Although this is a very rare model, we have recently received several mirror dials with top-level luster in a row.

However, this trend could stop at any time.

If you're looking for one, be sure to get your hands on a good one while you can!!

The luminous material on the indexes is also in top-level condition.

The luminous material on the hands shows some aging due to time, but there are no noticeable cracks, and it is in good condition!!

It has some signs of use, but the case and bracelet are in good condition.

The case shows some polishing, but is solid.

This rivet bracelet is essential for a mirror dial!!

The buckle clasp is stamped with 67.1!!

The rivet bracelet is also in good condition and matches the age!!

This is top condition!!
It has a great look!!

Wrist Shot!!
This is an exquisite piece with a stunningly cool, top-level beautiful black mirror!!
Please enjoy the captivating jet-black mirror!!

Vintage Explorer Ref.1016 Mirror Dial 66-67
This recommended vintage model allows you to enjoy a mirror dial in top condition! Such a rare piece with matching parts is hard to come by!
Although the market price is rising, opportunities to encounter such a wonderfully lustrous piece will become increasingly rare in the future!
Customers looking for a beautiful 1016 mirror, please consider it.
