PRE-OWNED WATCH CONDITION EXAMINATION

This pre-owned Rolex watch is in overall excellent pre-owned condition with no significant or observable signs of wear.

pre owned Rolex Datejust 16253 Thunderbird

By Paul Altieri

This is your chance to add a Rolex Datejust Thunderbird with a textured bezel to your luxury watch collection at an affordable, entry-level price. The ref. 16253 showcases a striking steel and gold finish and presents the time on a matching champagne dial topped with stick hour markers and central sweep hands. The line was developed in the 1950s and was the first serially-produced Rolex watch to offer a rotatable bezel. Also referred to as the Rolex Turn-o-Graph, the ref. 16253 is a widely sought-after collector's item. The ref. 16253 that you see here today has a traditional Datejust feature set and also utilizes a yellow gold bezel with 60-minute graduations.

    I have made several purchases and one sales through Bob’s. The order process, payment, processing, and most importantly delivery have all been absolutely flawless. Very quick and efficient. I never look anywhere else for used Rolex.

    Superb site and transaction, phenominal delivery time. Some slight confusion concerning the special discount at the time. I didn't receive it. No big deal I would not hesitate to purchase another rolex from Bob's ! ***

    The purchasing process was quick and easy once I finally made my selection. Bob’s customer service was excellent. All my questions and concerns were addressed to my satisfaction. But most important of all, my husband loves his new watch!
