A rare Rolex, the Oysterquartz

[@johnnyarsenault9124]

The exhibition back is mighty beautiful(seem to be an aftermarket back), decoration is 👌❤️👍Glad you reacquired your love! Love the slide ruler in the background!

I took the back off of the watch for the video, thinking about an aftermarket back

Beautiful watch

Beautiful piece, please always include wrist shots. Saving up for a black dialed yellow gold OQ to accompany my 17000.

[@TalkingTimepieces]

I'll start doing a wrist shot in videos going forward!

I’m wearing my Rolex 17000 with black dial

[@UnseenHero]

Came here right after your quartz video. Happy to know you serviced it without caring what anyone else says. I looked into getting an OysterQuartz in Blue but I'd want it to be at least 100m water resistance so that I can actually use it all the time. Considering this is a vintage piece, however, it has been serviced by Rolex, would you jump into a pool with it?

[@TalkingTimepieces]

Only a shallow one. I'd trust it to be water resistant, it does have a screw-down crown, but why tempt the devil?

[@Homebous76]

That's a beauty

[@pauldharwar1336]

What is the water resistance rating and does it have a sapphire crystal? I am considering buying one as I think this is an amazing watch. Thanks.

[@TalkingTimepieces]

It is a top-level Rolex, finished better than the mechanical models that product cycle. Sapphire, screw-down crown, the works. Fantastic piece

[@730-buysell4]

On the manual it said 50m (1978), but RSC last month said 100m.

How do you get papers when the original one lost?

[@TalkingTimepieces]

It wasn't cheap. You get new papers with a factory service. But it was worth it.

[@herbertsolliday6678]

How much did the servicing cost. .

[@TalkingTimepieces]

1700 Euros

[@herbertsolliday6678]

@@TalkingTimepieces Wow that seems like a lot. But the new dial must have been a big factor. You basically have like a totally new watch.

[@TalkingTimepieces]

@@herbertsolliday6678 Essentially. The dial, the works, it was completely overhauled. I got a new 2-year warranty card, which was a double bonus because now it has papers

[@user-pn3im5sm7k]

@@TalkingTimepieces Sorry if I missed it, multitasking here while watching. Did you do it through RSC or an independent service?

[@TalkingTimepieces]

@@user-pn3im5sm7k i have a trusted watchmaker thankfully

[@gzw1409]

How much costs this beauty? Sorry , my English is horror :-)

[@TalkingTimepieces]

About 3500 euros

[@inCanada55]

A word about dimensions would have been useful in the review. Wristwatches have dials, not 'faces'. And, a used Submariner for $6K?

[@TalkingTimepieces]

That was the price at the time the video was made. If you want to be a semantics smartass, find another channel to follow. I do my show unscripted for veracity, if you want perfect I can't help you.

[@TalkingTimepieces]

Not to mention watches have faces. You made me check, i was so confused about your inane question. You can use other terms, but face is appropriate. Next time try stop at i didn't give measurements.

[@inCanada55]

@@TalkingTimepieces Should'a figured...the super-sensitive type!

[@TalkingTimepieces]

You wish a used sub cost 6k now, right?
