Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce some recommended watches!
Today we have an early model of the Daytona/Ref. 16523.

Rolex Daytona White Lettering 4 Line All Tritium
Ref.16523 Serial.L4 (manufactured around 1989)
Cal.4030 FF403/78363 Clasp Code N12
Accessories: Box, warranty card (domestic regular / stamped May 1990)
SOLD OUT!!

El Primero-equipped Daytona/combination model "Ref.16523"
This model is less available than the stainless steel model,
The market price of combination models has been clearly rising recently.
The product we are introducing this time is a rare, early model with a 4-line dial.

○MK2 dial “4 lines”

The 5-line English notation has disappeared from "OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED"
The initial dial had four lines of text.
Like the MK1, this is a rare dial that is very hard to come by.

○ "Reverse 6" dial

At 6 o'clock, the number "6" on the 12-hour counter is inverted to look like a "9".
This is an early dial produced up to the S number, known as the "reverse 6" or "inverted 6".
MK1 dial/floating or MK2 dial/4 lines
will always be “inverted 6”.

Ref.16523/The early models with white dials, such as combination and solid gold models
The circle of the sub-dial scale turns black.
*From around the S number the color changes from black to gold.
This early white dial with a black circle is
Regardless of the four lines, this is a rare dial that is very rarely available.
The dial condition is excellent.

Unfortunately, the bezel on this watch appears to have been replaced in later years.
This is an attractive model that allows you to fully enjoy the characteristics of the early model.

Of course, the buckle is a single buckle that matches the era.

The condition is good, there are some scratches and small marks due to use,
It is in good condition overall with a good impression.

The middle case in particular has sharp edges.

Both hairline and edge line,
This is a very impressive case.

It's rare to find an '89 model like this!

There is only a slight amount of twisting in the bracelet.

The accessories are very complete!
Box, warranty, chronometer certificate, Daytona booklet (88),
Oyster booklet (90) Calendar (90-91) Chronometer tag
Comes with extra sesame seeds and bezel covers!!

The white Daytona booklet included is a nice touch!

Wrist shot!!
The 4 lines/black circle design gives this model an incredibly cool feel!
