Superb-O-Graph

Still admiring this overlooked watch; I had never really considered a Turn-O-Graph until recently... a real 'sleeper' beauty of a Rolex in my opinion.

I love the TOG, had a blue dial one ordered in 05 but it dragged on and on in the end got my tt sub which I love, but I would still love a TOG!

Yep, the TOG is an underapprecited jewel. (I have the reference pictured) It's not popular, overly in demand or colectible but I will never part with mine.

Always thought they were cool, as soon as I heard they were being discontinued got a TT LNIB from one of he sellers here. I also find it wears a little bigger than my 16220

Very nice. I really wish it came in a 40mm ish size range as well.

36mm really doesn't look right on me.

No idea why these never caught on. That red seconds hand would have been enough for me

Love the TOG! It is a shame (and a blessing, as it flies under the radar- especially on an oyster bracelet) that it isn't as popular as I feel it deserves.

One of my docs has one and agree they are under-appreciated. It is so logical to make good use of wasted bezel space to add functionality.

Really awesome watch. I just stated at DJ, TOG, and Air Kings for the past hours and they are beyond classy. Will definitely become my 2nd Rolex....Wear that baby in good health!

Great looking watch, but wears a tad small on me. At 40+ mm it would be ideal for me. Shame we did not get a 'TOG II'

Very under-rated in my opinion. Love the TOG.

had one as above - the bezel is a pain though, its not 'click, click, click'....its more 'sllllllliiiiiiiddddeeee', so you find it moves ALOT when wearing. But looks, yeap have to agree its a beauty.

I think it is a great looking watch. If it came in a 39-40 size, I'd be owning one.
