Rolex owners: Do you ever wear Quartz?
Do you ever give your Rolex(s) a break and wear a Quartz?
If so, what Quartz do you own/wear? |

I no longer own any non mechanical watches.
I would consider a Oysterquartz day date 19018 though, nice PM watch with Royal oak looking bracelet. That's definately a Quartz watch I'd consider |

I own a quartz watch, present from my sister.
I also wear G-Shock the day I'm exercising/playing sports! |

I don't currently own any. But there is one I wish I never let go. If I still had it, I'd wear it for sure.

Been trying to find an OQ for a while. Most people doesn't know it is a Rolex or that Rolex even made a quartz watch.

I never owned a high end Quartz watch. I bought this inexpensive beater as a dog walking watch in Brooklyn and an alternative (not that it really compares) to a Panerai, because of the black case and general size of the watch. Best part it was $85! Great bang for the buck here. |

I have a Quartz tag that I got on my 14th birthday from my parents. It's 16 years old. I put it on different natos. I still enjoy it.

I have several USAF issued Gallet Adanac Navigators and a 800 series Movado diver I wear when I go out of country for vacation.

I do have a G Shock that has been through hell and back, and a pathfinder (on nato) I wear for camping and rougher activities. They both get atomic time updates everyday and are solar powered. Very cool watches that can take a beating. Highly recommended

The new rolex movements are so accurate you almost don't need quartz at least non theemocompensated. That being said i like casio and citizen but breitling pacakges a few mean thermocompensated quartz with accuracy ~ +\- 12spy.

I have tried to like quartz watches, but after having automatics had always flip the ones purchased. Only quartz is a cheap Timex I used for exercising.

I own many G shocks and my Suunto Core which is a great ABC watch. But they only get wrist time when I'm working in the yard or something like that. Which is odd considering my dad would wear a Rolex chopping wood. lol.

I have a Sector quartz that I mounted on a leather bund strap. It was a gift from my son. I wear it occasionally. It is currently on my wrist as my Sub is in for a much needed regulation.

The only Quartz watches that I own are the two purchased before my nicer watches. All my other quarts watches were given away. I only wear the ones I have when I'm working on my house.

I wear them so seldom, they always seem to need batteries. I stick with mechanical.

Swiss Army from Costco at $150. Black with black rubber strap. Extremely comfortable, won't scratch, easy to read, and indestructible. I wear it a lot when working in my shop or out in the woods.
Luminox for wearing at night. The tritium never fades. However, it is always fun to dig a Rolex out of the safe. |
