Turn-O-Graph

Dropped by my local AD today, and asked about the T-O-G. Dealer advised that it was no longer being offered. However, I see where it is on the Rolex web site:

http://www.rolex.com/en#/rolex-watch...d-m116263-0018

Dealer showed me the catalog, and there was no T-O-G in it. What's the situation with the T-O-G? Is it no longer available?

Yep, sadly discontinued as I was told the same by my local AD's... it was a very slow seller... I still love mine though...

Can anyone else confirm this? ADs are known to lie a lot.

I just did! Folks I deal with at Wempe and Tourneau (NYC) are extremely reliable, don't fret if you want one I am sure Tony G, DavidSW, and Oscar would be able to help... Good luck!

It's a shame it was a slow seller. The TOG gives a sporty yet elegent look. I like it.

Wow, that's quite surprising. I haven't seen a lot of TOG's around but I didn't know it was going to get discontinued...feels like I heard about this one yesterday!

Heard the same thing from my local AD. I don't think it's in the latest catalog either?

If it is really discontinued, what is the chances of us getting it re-launched as the 41mm DJII variant?

A german AD confirms me that Rolex will stop the production of the TOG soon.

Very interesting Christophe looks like this may have been misinformation provided to me by my AD's, that's promising the TOG is in the 2011/2012 catalog, I am going to show this to them and ask for clarification.

It is somewhat strange to me, since I already own a TOG they were not trying to sell me one, I wonder why they would have told me that Sorry TRF family for reporting bad information, thanks Christophe for clearing things up! The TOG is here to stay

I think they were reading from the Sales Tactics 101 manual. Where does one get a catalog like the one pictured above?

Yes, me too! The white dial/red hand/red date really rocks!

If anyone is looking for a TOG there is one posted in the For Sale section. I would always start there rather than the AD.

I had the same one..Loved it!
My wife told me that the watch was to small for my wrist. Maybe Rolex is making a 41mm to replace the old 36mm model.
I would buy a 41mm Turn O Graph if Rolex came out with one.
