*The official OYSTERQUARTZ owners thread*
As we have more time in these unprecedented times I have searched for an owners thread for the controversial OysterQuartz, with no findings.

There are websites dedicated to this watch and a ton of history, some great threads to say the least except ...

AN OWNERS THREAD

SO IF YOUR ONE OF THE FEW POST YOUR PICTURE!

There was this one (wasn't as popular as I'd hoped):
https://www.rolexforums.com/showthre...highlight=5100

Hopefully this one goes better! This reference doesn't get the respect it deserves.

I have to say, I have seen the inside of a lot of quartz watches...I never new the OysterQuartz watches were so well built on the inside... I do not know much about the quartz Rolex's but I am quite impressed on the build quality of the engine......when did they stop producing quartz models??

Not an owner, but want to be one day. Beautiful and unique watch that seems to be many steps above the other quartz out there.
