Calling vintage Turn-O-Graph iwners

Looking for a vintage 66 birth year Datejust I prefer the smooth bezel to the traditional fluted bezel but then I came across the Turn-O-Graph model in my research and I'm intrigued Its hard to get a handle on these since they're no longer made Any wrist pics would be appreciated!

Here's a 66 two-tone for sale with alpha hands that looks pretty cool

Very nice watches, that '66 looks clean! Try to gt a shot with the case back off to check for corrosion.

This is a 1968 that got a new mid case during a factory service in 2006...

Here's mine, not 100% sure of the year.

Really happy with it, there is a problem with its winding right now so not using it until I can send it away to the RSC but out of my watches, its the one that gets the most wrist time as a good everyday casual but nice watch.
