1625 Vintage Turnograph

This is by far the most difficult watch to get a good photo of (for a novice). So many sources for light to bounce off and the dial also picks up the light. Fascinating piece.

Very very nice !!!

Exquisite. Can I ask what model “buckle” (or “clasp”) it wears? My 1967 Turn-O-Graph’s Jubilee wears a 62510H-18 and I’m not sure that it’s correct. At any rate, I compliment you on your bespoke piece. Very nice.

Does the bezel turn on this model?

Awesome watch. If they reissued in 39mm or 40mm the lines would be down the block.:thumbsup:

Really great undervalued watch, one of my favourites.

Really great undervalued watch, one of my favourites. Great variety of dials etc available on the 1625. The newer variation is also cool.:cheers:

Here's a bit of a primer on the Thunderbird...
https://www.grayandsons.com/blog/wha...x-thunderbird/ My personal take is that it's the same model as was given to the Thunderbird team but lack the Thunderbird icon. I'd love to see one with the original icon on the dial. https://www.grayandsons.com/blog/wp-...derbird-Ad.jpg |
Nice piece, hadn’t seen that one before.

Fellas thank you for all the words. It’s a really super piece. This is how I wear it now. Great hybrid of sports/dress
|
Looks as though the modern day Yachtmaster bezel pays homage to the Turn-O-Graph
|
such a nice watch.
|
Very nice:thumbsup::thumbsup::cheers:

I have had my Thunderbird for over 20 years and I concur that I wish it was 40mm. The fact that it is 36mm is why it rarely gets worn.
|
I've had a few 1625's (Thunderbird) over the years. I still have the one pictured below. It's the only sporty two tone watch I own.

^^^^^Lovely dial colour. Nice to see it on an Oyster bracelet, gives it very different look. Well done and enjoy.

No posted on here before but did on the TRF site. hope that doesn't 'classify' me.
My first Rolex was a 1625 Ser No 270176x which I think puts it about 1972 with a white gold bezel. I paid £1600 for it in 2012. The bracelet is in really good nick . Are there some identifying numbers that would indicate the bracelet was original? Not ventured to try posting a pic 944SE ( Sadly sold on my 944Turbo SE as the tin worm required some expensive attention. Now running a Cayman S Gen 1... sadly festering unused due to the lockdown) |
Great to see a fellow “TOG:er”...I have the SS/WG 1625 version:
