PRE-OWNED WATCH CONDITION EXAMINATION

This used Rolex watch is in very good condition with only few light surface scratches as well as some slight stretch to the bracelet consistent with age.

used Rolex Thunderbird DateJust 16253

By Paul Altieri

The Datejust "Thunderbird" Turn-o-Graph is characterized by a distinct 60-minute rotatable bezel in precious metal. This feature predates other more well-known Rolex tool watches, such as the Submariner and GMT Master, making it the first timepiece in the brand's catalog to feature a timing bezel. The ref. 16253 is the two-tone variant of the line that also boasts a barked finish on the bezel, a five-piece link Jubilee bracelet secured by a Fliplock clasp, and a champagne dial topped with yellow gold indices and central sweeping hands. As a member of the Datejust family, the Turn-o-Graph also features a waterproof Oyster case and a Perpetual movement.

    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!

    Very happy with the purchase of my 16710 GMT Master. Communication was very good and transaction went smoothly. Buying a used Rolex can be risky at best, I chose Bob's based on their excellent reputation and the peace of mind that reputation afforded me.

    This was my 2nd transaction with Bob's and I'm 100% satisfied with both. You get exactly what you see and the quality is perfect. Look here before you buy anywhere else.
