Rolex Turn-O-Graph "Thunderbird"

[Emma_Earl]

Does anyone know a good replica of a turn-o-graph?

Sadly, no.

I thought to so.. such a great watch.

This is a sad thread, till this day I regret selling my ref. 116264…

efk95 I'm assuming you're referring to a gen. In which case, that is indeed regrettable.

A question to the old hands... Was the Turn-o-graph ever repped? I'm a relative newcomer to the rep scene, and I don't recall seeing a wristie of anything other than gens (and maybe a Franken or two). Maybe pompompurin would know - this being very much up their street I think.

Yes, Silix had a couple varieties to select from. A cheapy and a better quality version. jmb bought the cheapy to experiment with and found it was a waste of money. I have not heard anyone else’s experience with the “better quality” ones.

These are very easy to build as Frankens as they use the standard DJ case with the ToG bezel installed in place of the regular one.

Here is one I had awhile ago. 16264 with gen ToG bezel and dial.

Trusty still lists some. I almost pulled the trigger on one of the SS ones a couple times. I wish I had. New items for Nov, at the bottom. Yeah right.

I doubt any of them are still available from Trusty.

Michelle (Silix) told me she could get one as recently as last year but I never pursued it.

The cheapie Silix was built in a DJ case. I had bought a gen TOG dial and planned a Franken but found the dial was too small for the case!

Nowdays, it is almost impossible to source a gen. Turnograph bezel. This weekend I have seen one on Ebay for 1200 USD, crazy. I bought the white gold one a year or so ago and paid around 600 UsD for it, please dont ever tell my wife .
