    Hello Everyone

    I have ‘For Sale’ a classic Rolex ‘Turn-O-Graph’ 16264, Oyster Perpetual Datejust, from 2002

    An earlier iteration of this Rolex Turn-O-Graph, was originally adopted by the U.S. Air Force’s Thunderbird aerobatic squadron, as their official pilot’s watch……Hence the common nickname, of a ‘Rolex Thunderbird’

    I bought the watch directly from the original owner, about two years ago

    The watch comes with a nearly complete full set - Outer Box, Inner Box, Hangtag with the watches serial number, Rolex Calendar Card, Datejust Instructions, ‘Chronometer Certificate’ translation booklet …and plastic Bezel protector

    The watch is missing the ‘Chronometer Certificate’

    The Bezel is 18k White Gold, can be rotated…is in absolutely excellent, unmarked condition

    The Saphire Crystal & Dial, are unmarked

    The case has minor ‘swirls’- As does the bracelet

    The watch has a full ( 13 links ) Rolex Bracelet, which will fit an 8 inch wrist

    The watch was also given a full service treatment, by Rolex in 2010 - There is an official Rolex service card / wallet / receipt for payment, to support this

    In summary

    Rolex Datejust Turnograph
    36mm Case Diameter
    Ref. 16264
    With Rolex Papers + Calendar + Hangtag with serial number + Rolex polishing cloth
    Original 13 link Rolex Oyster 78360 Bracelet, + 558 B endlinks

    Black Stick Dial
    Date Feature
    Sapphire Crystal
    Screw down Crown
    Luminescent Hands
    Date Feature
    Automatic Movement

    Plus Rolex Service paperwork in 2010 - Rolex Service Card included

    The price is £3,100 / €3530 / $4100. …Payment to be made in Sterling, by Bank Transfer

    This price includes UK Insured Shipping, - EU & ROW is negotiable

    Perfect happy to meet F2F as well…I am based in the NorthWest of the UK…oscillating between Manchester, & our other House on the Fylde coast

    As someone who is a prolific buyer,… I do not often sell,…but I now, have to rationise the Collection, before it gets out of hand…So I will moving about 12 watches, over the next few weeks

    Whoever is the buyer ?…My integrity is very important to me, & I want them to be happy, and content with their investment,… so I will take returns within a 3 Day inspection period…If there is a return, then the Buyer pays for fully insured shipping, back to me please

    I have sold both Rolex, and Omega on this Fora, sometime ago…perfectly successfully

    My eBay ID, is ‘thegirlandi’ where I have a consistent 100% feedback, for exclusively, vintage watch sales

    High definition Images taken, in natural ambient light, & colour balanced studio flash…Please excuse the occasional random dust !……The very last image was also taken my wrist, in a private bay, North of Barcelona

    No…I do not have the ‘Chronometer Certificate’

    The paperwork that I do have, …is shown in the original images - I do also have the ‘Rolex Service’ order from Goldsmiths, image shown below, & the first owners visa card slip, for payment of that service…which, for privacy, I have not shown

    To be quite honest,…it never registered with me, that the Certificate was missing,…from the set ::facepalm2::

    Therefore,… obviously I will amend the description in the Sales Post,… and also make a value reduction, for the missing paperwork

    The price, I am now seeking is £3,100

    If there any other questions ?…Please just ask
