What Is On My Wrist: 1969 Rolex Explorer 1 (Ref. 1016) “Frog Foot”

In this episode of "What Is On My Wrist" Cam talks the Rolex 1016 which has become a cult classic in the vintage Rolex sports watch lineup. The Rolex Explorer 1 ref. 1016 references bridge the gap between a dress watch and a sports watch. Without the crown guards and rotating bezels commonly found on sports models offered by Rolex, the Explorer I has a cleaner, sleeker profile while incorporating recognizable sport model features into the dial. The highly visible block indices, luminescent numerals at the 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 9 o'clock positions, and Submariner style triangle at the 12 o'clock position allow for readability under any conditions. The Submariner hands featured on the Ref. 1016 add to the unique feel and appearance.

[@craftandtailored]

heh heh! I get it, my dude!😂😂

[@christianamato4193]

@@craftandtailored That was an awesome episode! Super jealous, hope to one day try one on with the rivet bracelet and really feel what it would've been like buying one back in the day. Keep'em coming.

[@craftandtailored]

@@christianamato4193 the rivet bracelet is killer.. also quite like them on Jubilee as well!!

[@christianamato4193]

Oof love it on a jubilee. I’ve been trying to find one for my 114270, but you know how Rolex is with modern lughole placement. Turns every case into a strap destroyer. If you have any suggestions for straps and bracelets, I’d really appreciate it.

This channel is great and love the relaxed tempo. Thank you for being fun and informative without being obnoxious.

[@craftandtailored]

your welcome

My dad just passed away and my mom gave me his Rolex 1016 that he hardly wore. I was born in Hawaii in 1955 and that was where he bought the watch. It still has the cardboard box and case for it. Unfortunately he had put a leather band on so he no longer had one. I’m going to look into getting one for it. I totally enjoyed this video and learned so much!

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

My brother Cam killing it again! Humor is on point as always. What a watch man, such a clean example!

[@ID-Guy]

It is such a charmer. How can anyone go wrong with a watch like this? Thanks as always, Cam! Big Love

[@craftandtailored]

[@craig2100]

Love this piece

[@craftandtailored]

thanks, my man! it was a great one!

[@julietteahraribas5731]

Amazing video! What is that intro song?

[@JHDC1959]

Ok, I’ve watched a lot of your videos. Again I suggest flipping the image balance from 80% Cam / 20% the watch. It’s great stuff but we need more focus on the watches including stills and up close imagery of the details being discussed.

[@Mister_Phafanapolis]

Agreed, we want more of the thing and less from the host.

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

I can’t wait!

[@craftandtailored]

Its a good one!

[@clepsidra4978]

Tengo uno de mi abuelo en perfectas condiciones. Es insuperable

[@THX-C]

I love my 114270 but the matte dial L or R series 1016 is my grail!

[@444slowitdown]

Its a gentleman's watch .. but a really really sturdy dress watch for me ...

[@ksi40]

Got one 65’s 1016 !!

[@craftandtailored]

Thats rad! great year for 1016's!

[@clepsidra4978]

Cuanto puede costar este reloj con todo original hoy? How much money?

[@tomasinacovell4293]

In the day that would still be luxury, you have to remember most people only around $15.00 up to $50.00 at the top.

[@ddarrenwillsond3620]

Im sure its my fathers watch...

[@mrld3005]

oh boy, I cant wait for mine to arrive from DHGATE

[@gmshadowtraders]

There's a nasty dent at 9 o'clock. More closeups of the watch please, otherwise good content.
