This is the third time I've seen the real thing, the Ref. 114270 Blackout. Yes, it's not 14270, it's 114270. I first saw it over 10 years ago, and last year I got the second one, and it was sold out. I wondered if I wouldn't see it again for about 10 years, and then the miracle was that I got it the other day.
It certainly does exist, the 114270 Blackout. The dial only has white gold plates for the 3, 6, and 9, and the font is white only. There are no silver letters or black luminous 3, 6, and 9 like the 14270 Blackout. So, on the contrary, it is easy to tell.
The condition is almost dead stock, and it's a full set. I think it will be quite a collection. I wonder if it will become like the 1016 SPACE-DWELLER in the future.
PS. The first blacked-out 114270 I saw over 10 years ago was a K number. The one I sold last year was a V number. And this one is also a K number. So I think both exist. Both the previous blacked-out and this one have a good history, and most importantly, the first owner of this one noticed something odd about the 3, 6, and 9 on the dial and immediately had it inspected by J-Rolex (the details remain, and the work involved adjusting the timing).
