Notes

Signed Dial, case and movement. The word "Blackout" is referring to the black lacquer filled "3, 6, 9" hour markers. Rolex launched the first ever Blackout version for reference 14270 in 1990, and thereafter all Blackouts produced between 1990 and 1991 seem to bear a serial number starting with letter "E" or "X". This example is sold by a Japanese authorized retailer in 1991 and in an almost unused condition.
