Datejust 36 Turn-O-Graph 116264

[Used] Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph Blue[Product Description] Introducing a stunning Rolex watch. This is the Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph (Thunderbird) REF. 116264. The watch boasts a beautiful harmony of a blue dial and red accents. It features a red second hand and date window, A rare sight on Rolex models. The red TURN-O-GRAPH numerals are also a striking feature. Also, While most Turn-O-Graph models are often seen used with Oyster bracelets, The watch we are introducing is a very rare model equipped with Rolex's most iconic Jubilee Bracelet. The most in-demand and popular color is Sunbust Blue, And the blue and blue colors give the steel a luxurious feel of a pilot sports watch. At the time of release, It was available in three colors: white, Blue, And gray, But over time, The blue dial is the most popular and sought-after. It is one of the Datejust models with a relatively high rarity and collection value among watch collectors. This is the latest, Fourth-generation Turn-O-Graph model, The last pilot's watch from Rolex, Not a vintage model. Production was brief, But production was quickly discontinued, And it is no longer available new in stores. This is the Dayjust model, A daily sports watch for fighter pilots. It's a later model with internal engraving, Not an early model without engraving. Most Turn-O-Graphs have little to no engraving, But this one has engraving, Making it a highly collectible. Engraving refers to a unique serial number laser-engraved on the inside of the watch dial. It is divided into the early type and the improved later type due to the difference in presence or absence, And the later type is currently recognized as having high collection value and rarity because the production period was very short. Currently, Unlike other Datejust models, This Turn-O-Graph model continues to see high resale prices due to its rarity, Making it increasingly difficult to obtain each year. Furthermore, This Datejust model is one that not many people in Korea actually own. It is the only 36mm Professional line sports watch from Rolex, Along with the Explorer, And unlike the standard Datejust, It features a fluted bezel that rotates in both directions to measure time. (★See photo) This impressive model features a thick 18k white gold bidirectional rotating bezel, A red second hand, And a red date window to aid pilot visibility. The bezel is so thick that the price of the 18k white gold itself is quite high. The red triad at the bottom of the dial is very impressive: the bold red letters "TURN-O-GRAPH, " the red date window, And the red second hand. (★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 was discontinued shortly after production, Making it one of the rare watches to find on the used market. In particular, It was a watch that was not officially imported into Korea. Although this watch was originally sold under the name Turn-O-Graph, Most people remember it by the name Thunderbird. Thunderbird is not the watch's original name, But rather its nickname. There's an interesting backstory. "Thunderbird" literally translates to "thunder bird." In 1953, Rolex created a special Datejust watch named after the Thunderbirds, One of the first aerobatic flight units in American history. Thus began the history of the Datejust Thunderbird Turn-O-Graph. The watch featured the Thunderbirds unit insignia engraved on the lower portion of the dial, And Rolex presented it as a memento to Don Ferriss, A renowned Thunderbirds fighter pilot. He was deeply inspired by the watch, And under his influence, Every member of the unit ordered a Turn-O-Graph. Since then, In the US Rolex market, This watch has been sold under the nickname Thunderbird instead of its official name, Turn-O-Graph. For this reason, People often refer to this watch as "Thunderbird" rather than by its official name, And remember it as such. 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 that had no sportiness at all, But the Thunderbird watch is a sports watch made as a field watch, That is, A professional pilot watch. Its origins are far removed from those of a formal or dress watch. Unlike the fixed fluted bezel of the standard Datejust, The Thunderbird features a clickless rotating bezel that rotates 360 degrees in both directions. And to allow pilots to measure time in 10-minute intervals, The bezel is engraved with 10-minute increments. This bidirectional rotating bezel is entirely made of solid 18K white gold, And the most important bezel numerals are completely free of any dents or dents. 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're a fan of Rolex watches, The Datejust Thunderbird is a must-have. The sporty, Military-tool watch feel this watch evokes is truly captivating. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys field or tool watches. Currently, The same blue Sunburst Jubilee model is being sold overseas for around 16 million won. (★See photo) Considering the domestic market, We are selling it at a good price, And as it is a rare watch with high collection value, It is a watch that will bring good fortune in the future.[Watch Advantages] - The Datejust Turn-O-Graph 36, Steeped in history and tradition. - Sunburst blue color dial boasting high demand and popularity - Time measurement possible thanks to the sports bezel that can rotate in both directions - A stylish combination of 18K white gold bezel and steel - A pilot sports-type Datejust model with high rarity and collectibility. - Beautiful red second hand and red font - Attractive red date window display - Watch is in excellent condition※ Please note that due to the nature of used products, There may be scratches, Marks, Signs of use, And reduced waterproofing, And an overhaul may be required through a VIVER diagnosis.
