A Rolex I've never heard of?! I know. Huge faux pas for a Rolex Fan Girl. But also, it should be known... I am a dumb-dumb. Let's talk about the Space-Dweller.

Great video! History! American “space race” mania of the 1960s can never be underestimated. My dad traveled a fair amount to Japan in the late 60s and early 70s. Electronic and weird gizmos were plentiful in our home. We were among the first to have Seiko watches, giant spaceman FM radio headsets (with double antennas), kabuki statues, odd carvings, silkscreens, and lifelike rubber amphibians that still look real. Just a guess, but I recall the Japanese guests to our home as being rather short and slight of build. It’s possible that 36mm was just too large for the reserved Japanese gentleman? And a Swiss watch may not have held the appeal of a U.S. model. But yeah, these are crazy cool and I’m going back in time when those ships are ready to pick up the stuff I missed.

This was an excellent topic choice, Britt. I have known about the Space-Dweller for at least a couple years. I read about it in some article I can't recall now. However, have you watched The Hodinkee Rolex Explorer Reference Points video from last year? I happened to re-watch it the other day when I pointed a friend that's wanting an Explorer. I had forgotten about it, but they had a Space-Dweller on there. Eric Wind is so knowledgeable and they just have some amazing models that I had never heard of before that point. Your mind just might be blown if you've not watched it. Anybody else that is an Explorer fan that has not seen it, go now. Just do it.

Of course I’ve heard of the space-dweller, how dare you 😂 But you’re right is rare AF. I’ve been lucky to have seen ONE in my life. Japan loves special editions (look how all their CDs and records have to have extra tracks, especially of western brands). They also had a special edition of the turn-o-graph when it was briefly remade. And I’m glad you’re giving it some shine! I can think of one other person on KZbin who has *cough* rat *cough* so it’s good that you have. I still think a two tone Explorer 1 would suit you so well. Or a 1016!

There’s an additional dimension to this story, in so far as apparently there was a bunch of Space Dweller dials sold at auction at some point in the 00’s, leading to speculation that some of the watches that have come up are in fact regular 1016s that have had the SD dial added. No idea if that’s true but think I might have read about it in a recent Tony Traina piece…?

I had a grail watch for a while which was the Rolex 19028 pyramid bezel and bracelet nicknamed the Egyptian. There are also matching dials with pyramid markers or faces. About a year ago I finally tried one on at a local dealer and the 36 mm dial case looked too small on me so its now no longer a grail to me but I still admire its niche uniqueness. That trying on saved me some future hypothetical 30 to 50k. :)
