Hi all!!
I´m very excited these first days at the forum. Is nice to share the same passion for watches with all of you.
I´m thinking in buying a new watch in the near future. I think the BBB is an amazing watch but I think the black turn-o-graph is calling me!! I love both but need to decide... thinking with heart...ETA 2824 high grade or RLX 3135????
Please heeeeelp!!!
Thanks!

WristEnvy · 21 November 2015, 08:36 AM

I'd get the turnograph now. Then maybe add the BBB later? There are great deals to be had with blue or red, and eventually people will start flipping their black which may drive the price down eventually. So they'll always be readily available when you decide you can't live without it.

I already have 3 divers, so that's just me

Personally I'd get the BBB since TOG doesn't "sing" to me but that's just me though.

Seaotter · 21 November 2015, 09:32 AM

Both beautiful watches !
I personally find the Turn-O-Graph something more special. It’s a Datejust EXTRA 😀
I also think that the Turn-O-Graph is not really a bad investment in the longer run.

It is actually a matt gray dial with unique index.

I would go for the TOG, as well. There is still some new old stock available from what I have seen. Based on availability, you can always land a Tudor later. If you want a TOG in great condition, I would go for that first.

PimpStick · 21 November 2015, 10:19 AM

I want a TOG badly, but 36mm is just too small for me. I wish they'd make a DJII in TOG.

PimpStick · 21 November 2015, 10:20 AM

That watch is beautiful IMHO.

Good luck ! You can not go wrong with a TOG 😋

Sometimes Rolex makes nice watches

bkertzer89 · 22 November 2015, 01:25 AM

Does the bezel turn?

Seaotter · 22 November 2015, 01:36 AM

Yes TURN-O-Graph

Bidirectional rotatable non graduated 18 karat gold bezel.

It combined the robustness of the Oyster case with a rotatable bezel – the first for Rolex – and was designed to offer an alternative to the chronograph.
Overall, the "new" model (116264) succeeds not by trying to be a chronograph, but as a simple and elegant watch that allows you to keep track of that parking meter every now and then.

I vote tog. Because I'm on a lookout for one LOL

dominic.warren · 22 November 2015, 02:12 AM

I own a BBB. And this comes down to which one you want to get first IMO. Both at far different so they will look great side by side in a collection. But if you can only have 1 I would go TOG. I had a early 90s TT Thunderbird and regret flipping it. But I do love my BBB!

etp095 · 22 November 2015, 02:14 AM

Turn-0-graph, it's a real cool watch.

SpaceWanderer · 22 November 2015, 05:15 AM

As SeaOtter said, you can't go wrong.

Blingtone · 22 November 2015, 05:27 AM

I thought it was Slate Grey not Black.
I have the T O G in SS / White dial on Oyster (£3070 in 2005 - £3120 on Jubilee when purchased) wished I'd gone blue, but not as trendy back then.
To be honest it's a nice watch, but gets the least wear time of all my pieces and compared to my Explorer and OP (both 36mm) seems to wear smaller, which is why I'm giving it to my daughter for her 21st.
I'd go for the BB

adawil2002 · 22 November 2015, 05:31 AM

Turn-O-Graph is the one to get. Love my Thunderbird, the precursor of the TOG.

dysondiver · 22 November 2015, 05:37 AM

togs are so different , yet so similar , very smart , and a rolex.

Ow11867 · 22 November 2015, 05:44 AM

TOG for sure (if I was spending your cash ;)

HogwldFLTR · 22 November 2015, 06:34 AM

TOG and i'm a Tudor fan; TOG is one I'd really love.

Porter · 22 November 2015, 07:11 AM

Thanks again!!
Is true both are great but now I'm sure TOG is the best option first. I think is a very special watch with very nice history! I'm searching for one now...hehehe. And I'll take the BB later! Hope so!
Really thanks!

PRVPAGE · 22 November 2015, 09:13 AM

Either one is a great choice.

Boothroyd · 22 November 2015, 09:45 AM

Assume you know DavidSW has one for sale on his website, right?

CWIN · 22 November 2015, 09:52 AM

The TOG is my guilty pleasure Rolex. That would be my choice.

robsteve · 22 November 2015, 11:46 AM

I went with a Turn-O-Graph a few years back when deciding on a new Rolex.

lzz73 · 22 November 2015, 12:12 PM

Love my ToG.

I will choose the TOG first. The BBB will be easier to get down the road.

Star Ferry · 22 November 2015, 02:10 PM

I have a major soft spot for black dial TOG. BBB is different enough that it would be worth getting both eventually. I would get TOG first (clearly I am biased) and it seems that you've already made a great decision
