Crown etching on Oysterquartz
Hi all,
I have an Oysterquartz 17000 manufactured in 1983. I can't seem to locate the crown etching. Did Rolex have them in 1983? Thanks... |

My 2002 GMT doesn't have one. I think they were introduced early 2000's!

I believe that it began 2000-2001 so no need to keep looking. Possibly could have one though if the crystal has been replaced after that time though.

I have several OQ, one from the very last ones. 2001-2002 and no of them have the crown etched and the only I have seen for sale in Chrono24 it was very very wear maybe even the sapphire crystal was not ROLEX.
Regards, Mike |

End of the production run was 2000-2001, but Ive seen them sold as late as 2006 (PM models).
Ive seen some OQ with crowns but those would likely be service crystals :) from the RSC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
