Datejust 36 Turn-O-Graph 116264

[Product Description] Introducing a wonderful Rolex watch. This is the Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph (Thunderbird) REF.116264 model. It is in brand new, Unused condition and has been kept in a safe for collection and display purposes. This is a Datejust model that has the history and functions of the last pilot's watch produced by Rolex. The watch was produced in 2006, And since then, It has been kept mainly for collection purposes rather than for use. This is the most popular and in-demand black dial, And is close to the charcoal grey dial. At the time of release, It came in three colors: white, Blue, And gray, But the color that has been in the highest demand and popularity over time is black. This watch is in a matte gray color that is very rare to see in Rolex, And the red second hand and red TURN-O-GRAPH numerals are the best combination. This watch exudes tremendous charm with its charcoal gray color and the red second hand and red date window that are symbolic of the turn-o-graph. (★See photo) It is one of the Datejust models that has a considerably high rarity and collection value among watch collectors. This is the latest model of the 4th generation Turn-O-Graph, The last pilot's watch from Rolex, Not a vintage model. It was produced for a short time and then discontinued, So you can no longer buy it new in stores. This is a daily sports watch for fighter pilots. It is not an early model without engraving, But a 2006 production model with D unit engraving. (★See photo) Most turn-o-graphs have little to no engraving, But this one has engraving and has high collection value. Engraving means a unique serial number engraved with a laser on the inside of the watch dial. It is divided into an early type and an improved later type due to the difference in presence or absence, And since the later type had a very short production period, It is currently recognized as having high collection value and rarity. Currently, Unlike other Datejust models, This Turn-O-Graph model is one of those models that is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain every year due to its rarity. In addition, There are not many Datejust models in Korea that actually have one. It is the only 36mm Professional line sports watch from Rolex along with the Explorer, And unlike the regular Datejust, It has a fluted bezel that is fixed, But is designed to measure time by rotating the bezel in both directions. (★See photo) This model is very impressive with its thick 18k white gold bidirectional rotating bezel and red second hand and red date window to aid pilot visibility. The bezel is so thick that the price of the 18k white gold alone is quite high. And the dial is not the usual black color like the Explorer or Submariner, But a very mysterious yet captivating matte charcoal colored black dial, Making it a sports watch. The red triad of the bold red letters TURN-O-GRAPH, The red date window, And the red second hand at the bottom of the dial is very impressive. (★See photo) The Datejust, Which is a regular dress watch, Is boring to look at, And because it is such a common model, You get tired of it relatively quickly, Whereas this watch has a stronger sporty feel than a dress watch, So I think it is perfect as a daily watch. The production volume itself is quite small for a Datejust, And it is one of the rare watches to see on the used market because it was discontinued shortly after production. In particular, It was a watch that was not officially imported into Korea. At the time of its release, This watch was sold under the name Turn-O-Graph, But most people remember it by the name Thunderbird. Thunderbird is not the original name of this watch, But rather its nickname. There is an interesting backstory. The direct translation of 'Thunderbird' in Korean is 'Thunder Bird'. In 1953, Rolex created a special Datejust watch named after the Thunderbirds, One of the first aerobatic flying units in American history. This was the beginning of the Datejust Thunderbird Turn-O-Graph. The watch had the Thunderbirds unit mark engraved on the lower part of the dial, And Rolex gave it as a souvenir to the famous Thunderbirds fighter pilot, Don Ferriss. He was greatly inspired by this watch, And under his influence, All members of the unit ordered Turn-O-Graphs. Since then, In the US Rolex market, This watch was sold under the subordinate name Thunderbird instead of the official name Turn-O-Graph. For that reason, People remember this watch as Thunderbird rather than by its original name. At first glance, It may look very similar to the Dayjust model, But it is a very different kind of watch. First of all, The basic Dayjust general model was released with the belief that it was a dress watch to be used for formal coordination such as suits and tuxedos without any sportiness, But the Thunderbird watch is a sports watch made as a field watch, That is, A professional pilot watch. It is far from being a suit or dress watch in itself. Unlike the fixed fluted bezel of the general Datejust, The Thunderbird watch is equipped with a clickless rotating bezel that rotates 360 degrees in both directions. And to help pilots measure time in 10-minute intervals, The bezel is engraved with 10-minute increments. This bidirectional rotating bezel is made entirely of solid 18K gold-plated white gold, And there are absolutely no dents or dents, Especially on the bezel numerals. In the case of very old vintage models, The tin bracelet and plastic mica glass may be inconvenient for practical use, But the watch for sale is the latest 4th generation Thunderbird model. If you like Rolex watches, This is a Datejust Thunderbird watch that you should definitely own. The sports military tool watch feel that this watch gives is really great. I highly recommend it to those who usually like field watches or tool watches. Currently, The same dial model is being sold overseas for around 15 million won. (★See photo) Considering the domestic market, I am selling it at a good price, And the watch is in perfect condition with no stretching of the strap.[Watch Advantages] - The Datejust Turn-O-Graph 36 with history and tradition - Black dial with high demand and popularity - Time measurement possible thanks to the sports bezel that can be rotated in both directions - A stylish combination of 18K white gold bezel and steel - Pilot sports type Datejust model with high rarity and collectible value - Beautiful red second hand and red font - Attractive red date window display - Watch is in excellent condition* Please order considering that this is an old vintage product. * Although it is an old product, It is still in its original condition and shows traces of time both inside and outside the watch.
