Rolex Thunderbird DateJust 16253

By Paul Altieri

Do you dream of owning a Rolex Datejust wristwatch? Consider the 16253 Rolex for sale here. This reference is a stunning take on the legendary dress watch that also includes a rotatable bezel surrounding the case. The Datejust traditionally features either smooth, fluted, or engine-turned bezels. The 60-minute edition that you see here is exclusive to the Datejust Turn-o-Graph - aka Thunderbird. It predates the Submariner and GMT Master, making it a coveted collector's item among Rolex history buffs. At the heart of the watch lies traditional Rolex styling, making it an enduring statement piece that you can wear anywhere you roam without worry.

    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 ! ***
