Final couple hours folks. These sorts of examples don’t go on the market very often and when they do they’re well over $10k. The reserve on this is significantly lower. Best of luck to all.

No, it doesnt, everything is original on the watch. Unfortunately Grailzee randomly blurs numbers out on photos sometimes out of caution I guess, but I’ve asked them to remove it so you should see the new photos soon. In the meantime, it has an original 78360 bracelet with a V clasp which is correct for the year.

Does this have a service band? Looks like something was blurred out in the picture posted

Excited to offer this special Explorer II “Chicchi” dial. It is very hard to find these tritium 16570’s with matching original hands to the dial, but in this case, you get that in addition to the warranty paper and intact caseback sticker. A very rare, unpolished example. Enjoy!
