Rolex 6609 Turn O graph
The untouched dial of this Rolex Thunderbird has beautiful shaped arrow markers, the radium dots turned into a brown color. The patina of the dial is beautiful. It has a roulette date wheel with a red date for the even days and black for the odd’s. The movement is looking clean and runs great, this Rolex 6609 is a true survivor in exceptional condition, the fact it has an even rarer bracelet makes this an interesting watch for collectors and a pleasant watch to wear. The size of the bracelet is pretty long, for the smaller wrist it should be altered at a jeweler but seeing the collectors value of the bracelet we wouldn’t suggest to do.
