This is a very attractive Turn-O-Graph, also known as the Thunderbird, with a silver dial, warm tritium lume, and white gold bezel. One of its charms is the balance between classic Datejust elegance and the slightly sportier feel created by the rotating bezel. The white gold bezel turns very smoothly, which adds real pleasure in daily use.

No clear signs of redial, repainting, or relume.

[Case, crown and back of the case] : Good

[Action] : Very Good
Winding, automatic winding, hand-setting, and date change around midnight work properly.
