I see a lot of posts from sport watch guys subs, daytona, lv, etc... Just wondering how many ToG owners are out there. I know it's not very popular in general compared to DJ and Subs.

Maybe ToG owners are more shy or they are not as internet savvy as sport watch owners.

I have ordered a stainless steel, black dial, TOG and merely waiting for the AD to call when it arrives.

I wanted a watch that could serve two purposes: 1) to wear when I must wear a suit but most days to wear when I'm business casual and 2) to wear with jeans. IMO, I think the TOG is a nice blend between the Rolex sports watches and their dress watches.

Your mileage may vary...

Just thought I would post a pic of a black ToG as some eye candy for you

NICE watch, indeed!

Nice picture. Bo, you seem to always have the right picture or answer to any question. I'm going to try to find some obscure Rolex trivia to quiz you!

TOG is a DJ, just with a moveable bezel. I don't buy this business that they don't hold their value. They are gorgeous watches, and so I would buy one in a minute. You are just getting a more functional Date Just...that is all.

marshallr47 · 27 September 2007, 09:25 AM

I have this ToG and love it.

I agree ! That's why I can't understand the difference in MSRP. The TT DJ at over $8 k and the TOG for $7800.

Have a TT Jub Blue Faced T-Bird (1987 vintage), TT GMT Master (with Diamonds and Rubies), and SS Submariner and I can tell you that the T-Bird really gets noticed. You will be able to wear the TOG with blue-jeans or a nice dark suit. Is it my favorite watch?....yes and no as they all are!

ToG Brothers with a datejust between.

I wear a TOGa when I visit my AD. Does that count?

JJ - You'll do just about anything to get the pretty sales rep to bend over and get a watch out of the display to show you, am I right?

Spot on, Larry!!

TOG's are great looking watches. I am going to buy one in the near future

The Professor · 28 September 2007, 11:12 AM

I purchased my ToG (SS blue dial) about two months ago and love it. Besides the fact that I think it is beautiful, that you don't see it around a lot appeals to me as well. I haven't posted a photo because I am a camera idiot!

frostie · 28 September 2007, 07:08 PM

Welcome to TRF kevin. It seems that you really love your TOG. Please post some pics of yout TOG

Arturo · 28 September 2007, 11:37 PM

The TOG has the nicest turning bezel as well. Perfect for parking meters and BBQ timing. Man a TOG in rose gold...that has me thinking.....

frostie · 28 September 2007, 11:39 PM

Parking meter? I never thought of using a sub or a TOG for park meters. Now that's interesting. The sad thing is that in my country we don't have parking meters.

Only if she tries it on and you actually GET the cleavage shots!

eb641 · 29 September 2007, 11:29 AM

Is the ToG discontinued with the smooth bezel? To me, this was the hallmark of the model, and is far more esthetically pleasing than the bezel of many flutes. The style is illustrated on this thread by Marshall47's great pic. #Would be unbelievable in "everose".

frostie · 29 September 2007, 11:37 AM

I am not sure about the TOG with the smooth bezel let's see what the experts will say

Beautiful classic Thunderbird

Arturo · 29 September 2007, 03:53 PM

The problem as I understand it is that the fluted bezel shows dings and scratches less. the original Thunderbird Bezel, beautiful as it is, was hard to polish. There are very fine lines in that bezel. I like both.

frostie · 29 September 2007, 08:59 PM

Both of them are nice but i prefer the flutted bezel.
