Hey guys
All the 1016 I have come across in the past with this dial variation are from circa 66/67... could it be possible that this dial be original to a watch dating from 1969/70 with a 2.1m serial?
Thanks as always
Nick

 

You are permitted to post pictures, y’know!

 

More of a general question ... but as you asked so nicely...

I think I am happy that everything (other than the bracelet) is original so looking to pull the trigger unless anyone thinks there is a problem with a frog foot on a 1-69 / 2.1m serial

 

Any input now pics up ?

 

Look at this -- https://explorer1016.com/matte/mark-1/

The hand lume seems very white and clean compared to the dial lume. Have you been shown pictures of the UV reaction? I'm suspicious those are relumed but it's hard to tell if it's just because the photos are really overexposed.

Also, don't think you should pay a premium for the box unless it comes with punched papers.

 

Yes the pics are over exposed. Have asked for more. But am meeting them with uv light to check the hands as I thought the same

 

Yes the watch was purchased and all is correct... happy customer.

 

Lovely watch indeed.

Forgive my ignorance on these 4 digit explorers, was the Jubilee an optional fitment at point of purchase. I thought they came with large link oyster bracelets?
