It's a nice watch, but it's sort of a cross between a dress watch and a sport watch. The SS/white dial/stick markers lean in the dress direction, while the bezel clearly says sport. Maybe it's good for schizophrenics with split personalities.

That's probably the one of the few new Rolex I'd buy. Oogled over that one at an AD recently.

I do not like the new version of the Turn-O-Graph. I like the old vintage version of the Turn O Graph.

It is a beautiful stunning watch. Gives a sporty dress look. My next watch, and probably final one, will be a TOG with white gold bezel and blue face. Go try one on, and you will agree. Nothing short of great.

I love my TOG however the white gold bezel is a scratch magnet as most bezels are, once the bezel gets the fine scratches it is hard to hide them and they are very noticeable.

I bought mine in 2004 when they first came onto the market, I love it, the watch is different than my SD and LV Sub so it’s a nice change when I don’t feel like wearing a bigger watch. The TOG is not for everyone you like it or you don't. The white dial is very stunning, I like black dials so I went for the black dial over the white. Yes the photo sucks, but you can see the scratches on the bezel if you look.

I like the new style TOG but prefer the older style bezel.

The new TOG with white dial on new style Jubilee looks terrific, I think. Only the 36 mm size puts me off!!







Or if you prefer the BLACK dial...

I'd rock it in white face, for sure, I've just never been a fan of the jubilee bracelet.

I'm wearing the WG/SS white dial TOG. I walked into the AD, saw the watch for the first time and just had to have it. No regrets whatsoever. Looks great and the new jub bracelet is very nice. No scratches on the WG bezel yet. A beautiful watch that doesn't scream "ROLEX!!".

The TOG is a nice watch, no doubt about it.

But do not see me buying one. I'd rather get another DJ or a ND sub. (If I had the extra $ to buy another watch )

The old style TOG was more sporty looking. The old style TOG with the Jubilee dial was purely awesome. I had always wondered if the bezel could be put on a standard DJ.

Frankly, I much prefer the styling of the new TOG.

That said, however, the older TOG had a larger bezel and actually gave the watch a diameter of 37 mm as opposed to the present 36 mm.

That extra mm made a difference in giving the older TOG a larger appearance.
