Awesome Rolex - has a cool Art Deco look to it. More originality that the average Rolex. Congrats & Enjoy a fine timepiece!

Rolex sure makes some nice watches. I'm not a big fan of any quartz version, but I like the design of this one.

Thanks 2 all of you! Certainly, an automatic would be preferable, but the classy kind of "Bauhaus" design and the awareness that within this quartz mvt 20 patents are comprised (it is widely regarded as the most "overengineered" watch movement, and is considered "semimechanical") I can live with it....the automatic version was built only during a very short period and easily reaches prices in the 6k EURO area....

@toecutter : It somehow parallels some design elements of your swiss legend

Cheers

Congrats on your new OysterQuartz! :c

This is my favorite Rolex model. I've owned a few. I wish they would have never stopped making them. My pair were the most accurate watches I've owned to date.

I hope you have years of enjoyment from your!

Thanks! Yeah it is a special model....in Germany a run has started already on these watches....I guess they willget a second "spring"soon.

I lovemy new watch!:c

Good gravy! An Oysterquartz! One of my all-time "wish I had that one" favorites, to be sure, for about six different reasons. Holy Hannah...

Green with envy. NICE job!!!

I have always loved that particular watch!

You picked up what is, IMHO, the classiest quartz timepiece ever made!

And your GREAT pix really capture ALL of its grace and under-stated elegance!

 

imported post

Thanks to all of you!! The design is indeed unique...but timeless IMO. The "Tick" is so loud and sound so "fad" that it is just unbelievable

Great pics! :c


If I may . . . here are the 2 that I owned (pics aren't so great, but . . . )

GREAT! The last one is a 170014 right? Very rare and great bracelet! You sold them?

 

imported post

It's a 17014 on Jubilee, correct. I sold them both in 2005.

i'm not a big fan of Rolex, but i very much like this and the smooth bezel (JMO) looks better than the edged one.

Thanks! Here is a wristshot from the distance....sorry it is a bit blurred

And BTW: Prior to the RLX I tested the design (integrated bracelet) with this watch (it is larger though 44mm): http://www.watchfreeks.com/view_topic.php?id=7930&forum_id=35. As I now do not have any need for it anymore....it is open for trades

My thoughts exactly. Great pickup. Congrats!

Good pick up! The Oyster Quartz is a rare bird. You don't see a lot of them, and they had a short production run.

 

imported post

Hi, Yeah, it is a "rare" piece Let's see how they are pricewise in 10 years

Congrats on your new Rolex! It looks great especially on the wrist. Enjoy and wear it in good health. ....Bob

Thanks! Yeah, due to the integrated bracelet it really is great wearing it!
