Are the quartz movements found in ladies' models in-house movements?

Yes.

Yep, and they're actually very clever

my watchmaker was also very pleased with R.quartz movements

wow. I never thought Rolex had quartz. Learned something new today.

Some interesting factoids from an earlier review I read somewhere...

• The OQ is an analog thermo-compensated 11 jewel movement CMOS circuitry and a 32khz oscillator.

• The OQ movements are indigenously antimagnetic; in other words as anti-magnetic as a Milguass.

Only in the Cellini range now all others are mechanical.

Today yes, but in the past they offered the lovely Oysterquartz. If you've never seen one, it's worth taking a look online.

The oysterquartz was far from lovely IMO but definatley a cool piece of rolex history none the less.

I love it, but to each their own! I actually really like the Genta style 70's watches from all the different houses (IWC, Patek, AP, and the Rolex OQ).

I read about the OQ movement they developed for the 2000s which likely would have still been in production today had the program not been killed. Probably one of the best quartz movements ever made. Sad that it was never developed beyond a prototype which was stolen. Eventually it was returned to Rolex after it was advertised for auction.

I'm talking abou the cal 5335 23j Quartz movement. A whopping 23j!! The DJ version was the 5335 and was a perpetual calendar. The DD version, cal 5355, was also a 23j. Pretty darn cool if you ask me

Gotta love the OQ

Indeed. I remember when the OQ was the de rigueur Rolex on the TZ site - back before they split the vintage and modern sections.

Does anyone remember the guy who owned a chowder shop on the San Francisco pier? That guy was a character and a big time Rolex fan (who IIRC owned a really nice OQ).
