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

Ref. 16264

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

Hi,
Nice piece, do you have the chronometer certificate?

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 🤦

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
