Should Rolex revise the Turn-O-Graph dial?
Some people I talk with say the new (2004 to present)
Turn-O-Graph is not an eye catcher.

I like the TOG bezel, it is awesome as it is multi-directional and very quiet. I think most people don't like the stick dial and the lack of strong night time visibility I love the red second hand and the red lettering. What do you think?

SPACE-DWELLER · 23 November 2007, 09:38 AM

Well, I for my part really LOVE the red lettering, but you're right that the dial could benefit of getting better lume.

SSD · 23 November 2007, 09:52 AM

I definitely prefer lume, but I'm addicted to Sub and Maxi-Dial lume, so I'm spoiled. JMO, the Turn-O-Graph is beautiful as-is! Especially SS/WG w/ a blue dial...

I know you want to put the Sub's dial for the TOG.

Nup, I love the TOG the way it is. The dial looks nice in Roman style also.

The TOG is way better than the Sub & GMT

again. Happy ThnxGiving to all.

They already DID recently revise it to it current state.... Rolex went from the Thunderbird design with the highly scratchable WG bezel to a fluted bezel and larger design witht the red second hand. The new one is wonderful as was the Thunderbird. No need to change it 4 years after the last change.

I love my new T-O-G with the White dial. It would be nice if the lumes were a bit larger as it is hard to see at night when compaired to my SD. Is that what you ment Rich when you suggested a dial change?

vukotab · 17 December 2007, 11:36 PM

I don`t have problem with current TOG,actually I like it the way it is,it still looks fresh to me.I mean,why change it now,after only 3 or 4 years of production?

Tombstone · 18 December 2007, 10:51 AM

Yes operator that is my issue, I wish I could see it better at night. I agree with Vukota 3 to 4 years may be too soon for a change but ini the future more lume would be nice.

DATEJUSTSS · 18 December 2007, 12:54 PM

The dial has horrible night visibility. I still find it beautiful but sometimes wish that they made one with romans- still no lume, but what a stunner that would be with that hunk-o-white gold bezel.

marshallr47 · 18 December 2007, 01:27 PM

I have the older model ToG. I like it better than the current version even though the current version is very nice

rolexlover · 18 December 2007, 01:55 PM

By all means, they should a true classic. However, not really like by many.
