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.

    Everything is fantastic, box, papers, warrenty, tags.... But the bracelet has been polished, while it said it didn't, and the watch itself has many more little and light scratches that I didn't expect, for me it's condition 2,not 1,as you said..... Not very happy about it..... Best regards. Jacopo anticoli
