My Oysterquartz 19019

I bought it here on the For Sale forum here a couple years ago and have only worn it once for fear of scratching it up. It's in unpolished condition and as sharp a 19019 that you'll ever find, if you can find one. I also have the correct boxes, hang tag, booklet and two extra links.

Think I'll take this one to my grave.







Notice the linear brushing on the case.


Bracelet has almost no stretch

I love these!!! (The 19018 too)
Larry K. used to have a similar. It doesn't get better than this as far as design.
Do you also find the bracelet is more comfortable than standard president bracelet?

I feel the same about my ref. 1630 (quartz case but auto movement). I love the squared-off case and bracelet links. And my example is in mint condition, so I never handle it by the faceted bezel for fear it will make my fingers bleed.
I personally don't appreciate quartz movements but I have read that the Rolex quartz is the highest quality over-the-top quartz movement ever made. And the case/bracelet seem so much higher quality than the usual Oyster Perpetuals.
Congrats on a fine looking, no, the FINEST looking Rolex made!

Forgot to add a picture. I think the polish is original, but check out the different grooves on the lug tops:

Always a stunner, Woody! I wore my 19018 to Sea Island last weekend.

Don't know, never owned one.
