Good morning TRF! It feels like forever since I was able to purchase this Rolex. It's a New Turn-o-graph blue dial with an oyster band. Ref# 116264. Picked this up right before the price increases. Got in incredible deal on it. Took the stickers off last night and sized it up myself. Absolutely LOVE it, the dial is superb - sort of like a brushed finish (like a blue Rhodium dial, if that makes sense

), the pictures don't do the watch justice, I will post better ones later!

As promised:

Wow! Didn't realize how pretty the turn-o-graph was! Congradz on the beauty!

OLJR · 12 May 2011, 03:15 AM

Congratulations on the new watch.

What is the characteristic of a turn-o-graph that distinguishes is from the normal DJ? Am I right in assuming that the bezel turns so that you can monitor the time elapsed since a given time?

Yes, it's a bi-directional bezel. It also has a red seconds hand and a red date. I really like the look of the turn-o-graphs with these features.

I have always had a strong affection for that reference. It is beautiful, and not too common. A fine expression of individual taste and gorgeous as well. Glad to hear you got the good deal!

Well I would imagine since the green is gold on the sub-c
