Why only the JDM? It's not like it has a Japanese movement. That's just plain odd, to me. The Big Three (Seiko / Citizen / Casio) having JDM-only lines: fine. But they're Japanese companies! **Totally Confused.*

The watch was only released in the Japanese market for a 3yr period (1963-1966) as a test after a NASA tour celebrating the US first man in space program.

Always loved this watch. I wonder how many are in the market. Less than a handful I’d imagine.
I didn't know this watch demanded... I could have sworn it was an #rolex Explorer
Yeah very under-appreciated Rolex
Very nice. What size is it?
JDM only? Like another impediment to Rolex ownership was needed.
Tudor Ranger anyone? Remarkably similar!
OMG, I didn't even know about this. I had to look it up. One of these sold for $136k!
Fire photo!

Is that mold on the outer rings? Or just a dirty crystal?
Sorry...JDM??? what is that? thank you
Always loved this. True to form with me, it's almost impossible to find one! 👌

It is an explorer. A rebranded 1016
Never heard of this! As noted already, it looks like a rebranded 1016 Explorer

Very nice. Where did you get the parts?
Very nice. Where did you get the parts?
case with plexi - rafflesdial.com (alpha-1993.com also has them)
dial - rafflesdial.com (Yukiwatch also has them)
Movement and stem - CousinsUK.com
Bracelet - rafflesdial.com
hands - Aliexpress (can also purchase from raffles)
Alternatively, to save time, you can buy a 100 euro explorer 36 from Alpha1993 and swap the dial and crystal and crown.
