Rolex Datejust Thunderbird
Ref.16263 Serial.S7 (manufactured around 1993)

SOLD OUT!!

Today we are introducing the Datejust "Thunderbird" Ref. 16263 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 comes in a wide variety of dial colors, including champagne, black, gray, white, blue, and ivory pyramid.
Since Thunderbird itself is less available than before,
These days, it has become difficult to choose the dial color of your choice.

The black dial we are introducing this time is no exception.
It's been a while since I last handled it, and that's my impression too.

This watch has a black dial, is all tritium luminous and is in excellent condition with no missing parts.

It will have a black dial,
The light reflects off the dial, creating a beautiful brown appearance.

The yellow gold of the rotating bezel and the brownish black dial are a perfect match!

The important point is that the bezel is in excellent condition!

The case condition is also good.

The lug feet are thick and sturdy.

These crisp 162 series Datejusts are becoming less and less common.

The hollow jubilee bracelet is also in good condition.

There is only slight wrinkling of the bracelet.

Accessories include box, warranty card, serial tag, chronometer tag, Datejust booklet (94), Oyster booklet (95)
-Calendar (95-96) and extra frames (full frames) are available.

Wrist shot!! A rare model with a beautiful black dial!!
This is a stylish model that is perfect for the upcoming season.

Rotating bezel Datejust "Ref.16263"
This is a recommended item that has it all: dial color, condition, and accessories!!
This is a wonderful model that exudes a retro feel that is not found in current models!
Let's grab these specimens while we can!!
If you are looking for this, please consider us.
