OysterQuartz was a thing for several decades.

[@alexanderstefanov6474]

They made at least 3 movements and another was ready for production (thermocompensated and perpetual calendar) for a new oysterquartz, a prototype (steel Day-date in 17014 case) emerged for sale done years ago and Rolex tried (unsuccessfully) to stop the sale

So many children suffering now. Heartbreaking .

[@craftycri]

Sad part is, throughout human history the majority of children died most times slow and horrible deaths... but no tears shed for them, or for those precious children who died in Europe's Bubonic Plague, or the Tutsi children genocided in Africa, or the hundreds of thousands of children trafficked across the US' southern border, lost and never to be seen again. Well, I suppose tears need shed, if for no other reason than to feel like you've done something, you're a good person and you really care. :)

[@billmoore9148]

Why do i watch? To be educated, check. To watch a master craftsman do his thing, check. To escape this crazy world we live in for a few moments while i watch him, check. Being lucky enough that the man doing it has his humanity in check? Check. Great tribute Joe thanks for being my escape.

You can buy solder paste that would suit this soldering job perfectly. It's the consistency of toothpaste. Just a tiny blob on each connector, (which also helps 'stick' the component in place), then apply heat & the jobs a good one.

[@k__c__]

Quartz movements deserve some love from time to time, it would be nice if you could do a few videos on early quartz and previous tech (before quartz) like electronic and accutrons. Great work.

[@geordiem8496]

“OK I need silence for this bit.” KZbin sticks in an advert for a leccy toothbrush 😅. Nice one. Soldering is always a bit nerve wracking unless it’s plumbing pipe!

I expected the quartz crystal in a Rolex watch to be held in place by screws so that it could be changed without welding if necessary. Thank you very much for your excellent work. Please keep the people of Gaza in your prayers

That’s a beautiful quartz movement! Your solder is too cold, it is working but it will be prone to separating. The solder joint should be shiny when you’re done

A great video, with your unique blend of expertise and social conscience. ❤ A tip for soldering (and you might already do this) is to clean off any flux afterwards with a swab dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Reduces any further risk of corrosion down the line. 👍

Nothing wrong with the quartz rolexes. I inherited a ladies datejust from my grandma, who received it as a gift a long time ago. Pop a new battery in every now and then, still runs perfectly.

[@jatco84]

Another great vid of that quartz..and service to someones ill attempt at being a watchmaker. Wouldn't want to be the person to see you in your office...Always enjoy your vids. Thank you sir.

[@robertd8065]

Always a pleasure watching your interesting new videos. As has been mentioned in other posts...you would have had a much easier time using a bit of solder paste...micro granules of solder balls in a liquid flux which can be heated with a stanmech heat gun to carefully melt the solder. It can be dialed down to a low setting with very precise tempurature that will flow the solder paste and keep everything nice and tidy. Also the look of the solder joint should be shiny. It was hard to tell if you kept the heat long enough but the color of the join was giving the impression of a cold solder joint. This can fail after a time of cycling h/c which will create a fracture over time. I know everyone's a critic but considering your not necessarily a expert in micro soldering then you pass either way. I have done many a micro joint by hand with both Iron and heat gun. Practice is all it takes. Thanks for the video and happy trails!

[@womble321]

Repeat after me. "I will get solder paste'😂😂😂

[@robertd8065]

And a heat gun with a narrow nozzel!

[@Zardwark]

A small knockoff electronic solder station would be useful as well when it comes to lead/tin welding.

Hey Joe . Love the channel, even though my last watch was a Casio calculator . I just inherited my dads Tudor 1960’s 9ct gold that his father got for 45 years working for British rail. I’m not going to wear it but I would like it to work. Can anyone suggest a good repair shop in Glasgow because it’s been in a box for years and I’m guessing it’s probably going to need some recommissioning work.

[@marcografvonpartagas]

Oh wow. I wear an Oysterquartz - never knew there were other battery powered watches made by Rolex

[@yuglesstube]

Always fun!

[@muzkat101]

This is just my opinion: I think it may be important to point out that when Rolex decided to make a quartz watch, it was during a time when quartz movements for watches were a semi-luxury item and not particularly cheap. At the time it was an up-sale benefit to the mechanical watch; a timepiece built on technology, accuracy, and convenience... that convenience factor of not having to worry about everyday winding. But as the costs of making quartz movements began to lower in price, the 'luxury' factor began to lose its appeal, as in the late 70's early 80's, pretty much every cheap watch on the market was now a quartz movement watch. However, as we continue to see, many of the more luxury watch makers are still making quartz movements, and their prices are still relatively high. I am just one of those guys who looks for quartz watches for collectable value, but they are nice watches. However, I would say, by looking at the incredible detail and fine finish on both the dial and on the inside of this Rolex, it most certainly has some intrinsic high value, even if as a dead watch... a fine collector's piece for sure.

[@JxH]

My "Rolex" uses a battery. I bought it brand new circa 1988 for US$10 at a little shop near Time Square NYC. I'm sure it's a genuine Rolex, LOL. ;-) !!

[@johnsrabe]

I have no problem with Rolex making a quartz. Many people prefer them, so why not make a nice looking one? Looking on eBay, the prices don’t seem too ridiculous, like they do for the Rolex tool watches, and the prices seem to reflect the amount of precious metals rather than the Rolex cachet. Joe, I like long videos from you, and short ones. This was a nice video to watch during lunch. Now I gotta get back to work.

[@petersutherland2075]

[@donhuebert9151]

Wrapping a piece of copper wire around the tip is something I would have never thought of. Well done. You might tell the accountant that you need a proper surface mount soldering iron.
