Why aren't discussing more about rolex quartz??this is my new found pc for last day of year 2013

arg2788610 · 7 January 2014, 02:58 PM

It's a 1978 5.6 mils series 17000
Completed full set..buy in below 2k usd.

Old Expat Beast · 7 January 2014, 03:04 PM

Surprised it is not a one-liner if that early. Great watch either way.

silversurfer96790 · 7 January 2014, 08:21 PM

For some reason Rolex and batteries just don't do it for me, maybe its me but Rolex is all about the movement.

The Oysterquartz movements are terrific, real works of art. And Rolex supplies and installs free batteries for life at any RSC (although some countries' RSCs seem unaware of this). Rolex never made a better case or bracelet, either, IMO.

P.S: OP, have you seen oysterquartz.net?

Nice dial. Is the bracelet clasp code GC? I have noticed a few early OQ models with this clasp code, but not sure why. They (integrated bracelets) don't seem to follow the standard Rolex clasp code series.

arg2788610 · 7 January 2014, 10:06 PM

arg2788610 · 7 January 2014, 10:09 PM

arg2788610 · 7 January 2014, 10:15 PM

My one had gc b also for this 17000 . But two tones ones had 17013-18.gc codings sort of common for datejust n quartz models....
But l was luckily to have the words as patent & registered Swiss made more rarer n desirable....others I don't see clasp having patent prints
