Turn-o-graph Thunderbird?

Saw this today and I’ve never heard of it. The tag said it dates to 2001. Different.

Is there a site I can find that will give me an estimate on value?

I love TOG's. Bummed I missed a 70s one w Sigma dial locally awhile back...rotating bezels are the best.

I have a 18k/SS on an oyster band with white pyramid dial that I bought in 2002. It is really a good looking watch and I’ve never seen another one like it. It’s in a safe deposit box or I’d post a picture of it. Must be pretty unique.

Why should the OP find a watch in better condition? Maybe the OP likes the watch as is. It may not be as nice as yours....but the watch is still very nice and looks like it was worn and enjoyed by the previous owner(s). Depending on what the price is..and what the OP will be using the watch for...it could be ideal!

Contrary to what you say...there is nothing wrong with a well worn watch as long as it is in good mechanical working order.

You can check this site on the Rolex Sale Forum. I think I saw a thunderbird DJ for sale here recently. Also check Chrono24, Ebay, and google search. Good Luck!

Thanks for the compliment......

I'm being honest regarding the condition of the watch......

The watch is heavily over polished.... look at those lugs.....

I don't expect the OP to find a condition like my but I think OP should find a condition that is better...
