Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce some recommended watches!
Today we have a rare dial for the old Datejust/Thunderbird.

Rolex Datejust Thunderbird
Ref.16264 Serial.P (manufactured around 2001)
Cal.3135 78360/FF558B Clasp Code DE5
Accessories: Warranty card (10: Switzerland/May 2001 stamp)
SOLD OUT!!


Today we are introducing the Datejust "Thunderbird" Ref. 16264 with a rotating bezel!!
The nickname "Thunderbird" comes from the captain of the U.S. Air Force's acrobatic team, the Thunderbirds.
It was specially ordered as a model to commemorate Colonel Don Ferris' retirement.
This model features a rotating/engine turned bezel that gives it a retro feel!

The piece we are introducing this time is a rare piece that uses the natural stone "sodalite" for the dial!
Sodalite is called " sodalite " in Japanese.
It is a beneficial stone for achieving dreams and goals, and is said to have the power to strengthen decisiveness.
It's said to be a powerful stone !
Wearing such a natural stone on your arm will definitely boost your spirits!

The index is set with single-cut (17 facets) diamonds!
By the way, when it comes to small diamonds, a single cut with fewer facets is better.
The shine is clearer and visibility is improved.
Sodalite and diamonds go together perfectly!

The dial is in excellent condition with no cracks.

Like shells and meteorites, natural stones have a unique look,
This particular one has a very beautiful dial, neither too dark nor too light
!

There are some small scratches from use, but overall it is in good condition.

There is a small scratch at the 42 minute position on the bezel,
The atmosphere hasn't been compromised at all.

The original bracelet is slightly wrinkled, but is in good condition.

The accessories include a warranty! The Swiss guarantee makes a great impression!

Wrist shot!!
It's a sodalite dial with a very beautiful look!
We hope you will pick up a copy and take a look!

Thunderbird Ref. 16264/Sodalite Thunderbird x Sodalite dial is rare and hard to find!
This product has a good dial condition.
It also comes with a warranty, so I highly recommend it!
This discontinued model that uses natural stones is definitely one to keep in mind!!
Customers looking for a rare Datejust dial,
Please consider it!
