Having been parted from my last Rolex, 1986 Datejust by my dear (as in expensive) ex-wife. I'm thinking of squandering some dosh on a Rolex Turn-o-Graph. Anyone had any experience of these. I assume it'll be just as good as my last Rolex was. thanks

Mike, welcome to TRF, glad you have joined up.

As for the TOG, the newer style has the improved solid bracelet, it is awesome. I am a big fan of both the new and old style TOG. best of luck in the hunt.

Hi Mike, welcome to TRF, glad you joined us

I know a couple of guys who have them, the new bracelets and clasps are awesome

It's a great looking watch, I especially like the SS with white dial

Welcome to TRF, Mike. Glad you found us. Stick around and join the fun on our friendly madhouse.

As for the TOG, I don't have any experience with it, but it is a nice looking watch.

Hi Mike,

Welcome to TRF. I have posted these pics before, but here they are again for your benefit. The new imporoved bracelets have ALL solid links and have been vastly improved!! The watch, however, still remains at 36 mm...so if you're comfortable with this size, then go for it!!

Agreed to a certain degree, Adam....advantage being the Oyster still has micro adjustments and a very cleverly conealed ½ link which goes "flip flop" within the confines of the clasp for that absolute perfect fit!!

The new Jubilee, however, is a cracker and very elegant with the concealed clasp. No micro adjustments makes it a bit of a gamble for a perfect fit using the HALF link method as in Omega.

Yes I like the new TOG dress and a bit sporty in the same watch like the red second hand.
