I absolutely love the look of the Oysterqurtz series (especially the day-date models), it reminds me of the AP Royal Oak. I just cant get myself to buy a Quartz watch! I know it sounds "snobby" but I dont want a watch that ticks

! Are any of you guys in the same boat?

Speed · 29 October 2012, 04:36 AM

Same boat as you.

That watch was a failed experiment by Rolex. It does indeed resemble an AP...but I prefer APs.

Apart from a CASIO G Shock, I have no desire to spend big bucks on a Quartz watch.

Agree on the looks. I am looking for a cheap 1630 myself, same case but with a 1570 movement inside.

However, I will probably never get one since they are not cheap...

Love the OQ and have no problems whats so ever by the ticking

MrLee · 29 October 2012, 04:51 AM

Yeh love it, don't really think about the quartz aspect where this is concerned...do with most other watches but the oyster quartz is just special period

jatco · 29 October 2012, 05:33 AM

I agree with most.. Love its look..from the recent pics Ive seen on here...

Vincent65 · 29 October 2012, 06:01 AM

I like it!

zion_rasta · 29 October 2012, 06:19 AM

I like the looks, however I could not stand the non-sweeping hand on a Rolex. It would drive me bonkers and I would probably never wear it. It is the same thing the I do not like about TAG and some of those Quartz Omegas...

Tri-National-Man · 29 October 2012, 07:34 AM

It's The World's finest Quartz watch..

dysondiver · 29 October 2012, 07:46 AM

ilove them too , but ,,, i think they actually did some of them with auto movements , unless its a retro fit , ive seen one somewhere.
best of both worlds.

FeelingTheBlues · 29 October 2012, 07:48 AM

I personally like to have a lot of different movements in my collection and quartz watches have their deserved spot in it. I also happen to love the OQ and hope to have one someday!

Hairdude1 · 29 October 2012, 07:49 AM

I also love the look, but I am glad I have 15300
