Vintage Watch Condition Examination:

This Rolex Explorer is in overall great vintage condition consistent with its age. The case is in good condition with normal signs of wear. The Mark II dial is in great condition with light patina; it has some slight wear on the edge near seven o'clock (this can be hard to notice under the crystal). The lume on the dial has aged to a lovely and even pale yellow color. The six o'clock plot shows signs of slight degradation. The hands have developed patina and the lume in the hands has aged to a matching pale yellow color. The folded Oyster link bracelet is in overall very good condition with normal signs of wear; it has a bit of stretch between the links which is common for this type of bracelet.

Description: Vintage MKII Rolex Explorer 1016

Rolex introduced the 1016 Explorer in 1959 and it was in production until 1989 making it one of the longest running produced references from the brand. At the beginning of the run Rolex made the dials glossy and then switched to the matte style around 1966. Collectors have identified five different matte dial variations for this model and this watch features a Mark II version. We don't see that many Mark II dials compared to other versions so when this came in we got pretty excited. This watch is in overall lovely condition and has that quintessential vintage look and feel with the perfectly aged lume and folded Oyster bracelet.

Good Service

I have been searching for this model with the Jubilee bracelet for a long time. Bob's had the right watch at the right price. Purchased online. No issues and received quickly.
