A long time ago, I hated the Tbird, now this is by far my favourite Rolex watch with the GMT. I tried this one recently and got a big shook. A killer with a great story, thanks for this review, I love your full gold exemplary ! Francois...

Thanks for the post and the story that I discovered. I didn't know anything about that, probably as I didn't pay any attention to these models which don't suit my tastes. But it is a very nice and educational post and it is always great to learn something...
It was a tough decision...

It was a tough decision After spending so much time getting the watch. I found on my wrist it was a little small so I tried the bund strap to give it some volume. Alas no change. I did the same with a perfect 6536/1 white second hand magnificent dial like...

Serpico y Laino also used to customize TOG dials in some pieces, mainly in gold. This 6609 also belonged to me. This message has been edited by Peppo on 2012-03-03 11:00:07 This message has been edited by Peppo on 2012-03-03 11:02:59...
Thank you Nicolas

but I'm just trying to do my way. Beside kidding, TOG is a reference that always intrigued me a lot, easy to wear and in the same time "complicated", not only a DateJust but a little more a "Sport model" too. This is a good research very helpful in order ...

Excellent review …

Good to read your excellent review Abel and to see the photos of your beautiful 6609 “Thunderbird”. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Rolex revived this watch with very subtle updates. Sadly little chance of it and probably pointless if they can’t deliver them ...
