TURN-O-GRAPH: A Datejust Beauty.

The Turn-O-Graph SS/RG Black Dial is the first Datejust I bought. It is a beautiful watch. Some people prefer it with an oyster bracelet. I myself think that oyster bracelets look better on 40+mm diameter watches. The fluted bezel on the Turn-O-Graph is biggar than the ordinary fluted bezel. The dial is not solid black. It reflects a very dark brown colour which goes with the rose gold.
I highly recommend Turn-O-Graphs. They are both classic and sporty at the same time. Work well either on formalwear or jeans.
Just wanted to share this with you guys.
All the best,
Hejab.

Icon6 Thunderbird aka TOG

I like your TOG, Hejab. Bought my tt in 1990 and still have it today (tho my son uses it now).

Darlinboy- A beautiful piece you got on the wrist bro. Wear it in good health.
DCgator- The only thing that would make anything someone wears so special, in my opinion, is the fact that it belongs to someone's parents. Thank you for your comment and I think the tt will be the best watch your son wears because it is his dad's.

Thank you everybody for your comments.

Very nice pair, love the TOG, a very under loved/appreciated Rolex IMO and so classy yet sporty at the same time

How much wider is the bezel on a ToG compared to a normal fluted bezel on a 36mm Datejust? Or, in other words, what is the diameter of the glass face of a ToG vs. a Datejust? Does one actually notice the face size difference? I've never been able to find an answer to this anywhere, and it's hard to see if one would look good since the ToGs are hard to come by.

Beautiful pair.

I for one like the Oyster bracelet for the blue arabic dial DJ you got there since the dial looks more "sporty" or casual to me.

but the jubilee looks great for the TOG's stick dials

You are 100% right. The oyster bracelet goes well with the domed bezel and arabic dial. However, unfortunately I couldn't wear it on a 36mm because it is a bit narrower than the jubilee bracelet and as you can see I have a big hand, so I didn't have a choice.
