Bought an oyster quartz pyramid day date I don’t think I’ve seen before (grail?)

Really happy with this watch I just picked up. Feels really special and I haven’t seen another one exactly like this. All original parts. Let me know what y’all think ;)

Yeah all original pieces. The piece comes w the papers and the actual receipt and payment breakdown, as in how much he paid in cash and how much card, oldamex number and everything. I have a bark presidential (I like vintage-y, rarer watches the most) and some date Just’s and never had this much paper and details with it.

I honestly don’t think the owner even wore it, I got very lucky.

I’m gonna take more pics in a second and post. It’s such a cool watch.

There's one for sale on chrono 24, I was looking at it the other day. The bracelet is very unique. Looks very nice.

Haha that was actually mines. My dealer tried to convince me to sell it when I bought it months back but I didn’t want it sitting anymore I kinda became obsessed with it so I finally took it home. It’s going off chrono24 that’s for sure ;)

Pyramid bezel as opposed to dial, pretty unique, and bracelet looks like it could do some damage.

Now THAT'S a watch box - thanks for the extra pics.

It's too bad Rolex isn't more "adventurous" these days. Modern Rolex would never release a watch like this.

That is the nicest Oysterquartz Day-Date I have ever seen. That dial is amazing, and I love the pyramid bezel and bracelet center links.

Whenever Rolex does something different/unique they alway do a good job.

The oysterquartz is a really cool watch, and you just dont see many of them around .. Especially with all original parts. The pyramid is even more rare. That is a beauty you have there .... Wear it and enjoy it in great health!!

I think it's obviously not a watch for everyone its definitely unique. the oysterquartz series in general whether datejust or day-date are pretty unique and sort of polarizing, you either like them or dont.

but i did think this watch was unique enough that i found it worth posting. im not sure if i can say it but i definitely feel like i might be the only person in the world with this specific watch.
