    Oysterquartz 17000 and 19019.

    I've always admired the OQ. Here is mine.


    My son has just got this. The white gold 19019.

    It feels heavier than my steel version and the bracelet is exquisite.


    They seem to be quite rare.

    I also love the design of these, but the service costs have so far kept me away from purchasing one.

    An RSC service is around £500, which is a similar cost to a regular Datejust.

    The PM Oysterquartz are stunning but I’ll have to stick with my SS for now, where did he get it from?

    Yeah. A quartz watch with the service costs of a mechanical (best case). That's "value" right there.

    Lovely watches, they feel so solid. Not exactly the biggest success by Rolex (sales wise), but absolutely fabulous IMO in every other respect.

    Who cares that they cost a similar price to service to a mechanical, the movement on these is just a thing of beauty & not your ordinary quartz, more like a mechanical quartz !

    Absolutely. But let's not allow the mech/engineering or the fact that it was designed to be serviced rather than discarded get in the way of puffing on the internet. Always "value" in that

    Had my 17000 serviced by Rolex last year -- first service in thirty years. Cost about £550 (or, less than £20 per year of ownership) and it came back like new. Doesn't seem excessive to me.

    Both nice, but the Day-Dates are a little special :)
    It's just a matter of time...
