Thank you everyone for the comments, and for reading my post..
Indeed its a divisive model, dress or sports, daily wear or special days...but at 36mm, its beautifully proportioned and with an oyster bracelet that truly is a marvel for comfort. I suspect the jubilee on this model would be too blingy for my taste, and takes the dressier approach.
The bezel is a little thicker than the standard DJ 36, and it glides bidirectionaly without a click. The thunderbird never really had a big following , but that made it all the more reason for me to purchase it from a friend who had it since 2008. It remains my only rolex, but carries the distinctive DNA of the brand, including its very robust movement .

Just a dressy sports watch with a punch , love it more on the oyster bracelet actually. That red seconds hand against the black dial is what catches my eye always... ...
Another watch with a great personality !
It looks great on your wrist and I love the mid of classic and modern, dressy and sporty. Best, Emmanuel
Is that 36mm?
It looks more substantial than I would have expected! Such a handsome watch.
I like the Turn-O-Graphs
The colour, the bezel (that I like the fact is bidirectional), etc. I remember when buying mine probably 20 years back, the sales rep told me "this is not for diving, it's for timing pasta" - true And for me the 36mm size is great - My wife borrowed this ...
Fantastic
I have always loved this watch and the magical feeling of the "floating" bezel. Yes, handy for pasta and waiting rooms as well!
I never really understood this watch, but it's definitely cool
Enjoy it, thanks for sharing!

I know I’m in the minority with this opinion,
but I don’t find the jubilee as dressier. The smaller links seem to hide daily wear better than the oyster polished center links. I just swapped the oyster back onto my Skydweller from the jubilee and I love having the choice, but I’m torn on a preference...
Completely agree with you!
Just wish the 2 tone oyster on mine had the gold centre links brushed
