This is a tritium luminous model of the reference 14270, which can be said to be the prototype of the Explorer 1, which was downsized from 39mm to 36mm in April last year. After this U-series, it will be the A-series Tritinova, so this should be the last tritium specification. It's a small change, but in the world of Rolex, something may happen in the future. This is a watch that you would want to buy while dreaming of such a thing.
One thing to be careful of is that there is a good chance that the dial and hands have been replaced, so be careful.
The watch itself is very simple, and I personally like it very much. It's the best standard among Rolex sports watches!
As you can see from the images, both the exterior and movement are in very good condition, but we plan to perform some maintenance before delivering the watch.
