OysterQuartz (19018+17014)

Hello everyone, I finally decided to present you two Rolex that was not too used to seeing, personally, I consider that QUARTZ is not a 'real' watch , nevertheless, forms of these angular Oyster really please me, I would have preferred you to this post with 1530, but, well, we do not win every time ... has
Be attacked with Oyster Quartz Day-Date Full Gold ref 19018 (in 5.6 million), then we will focus on an Oyster Quartz Date-Just Steel ref 17014 (6.7 in Millions)

The on-box


The box, leather, typical of those years


The detail that kills


Papers and warranty


Green tag, red tag, everything 's here.


The beauty, with its dial with Roman index, with four marked "IIII" and not "IV" typical of watches, to preserve a balance between both sides of the dial.


Full Gold, as with all the Day-Date window at noon to see the day, available in 26 languages​​, it is in French.


Similar forms for Date-Just, here in steel + white gold fluted bezel


T swiss T dial ,with gold stick index, open timer, my favorite porn, shame that today we no longer found on DJ, but only on ODP ;(


The DD dial is very readable and comprehensive but not charged, in short: 100% Rolex!


At the two cases, the thickness (fineness can be, I should say) and equivalent, nevertheless, we note a difference in terms of fixing straps


Note the difference of the two straps and their attachments to cases






We can see the different buckle, simple, like the oyster of the era for OQDJ, invisible to the Crown Clasp OQDD (like on jubilée)




Wrist shot



It changes the cases we used to see at Rolex, that's for sure!

For once, I do not thank Nico of Rilogi, which with its two models, I was 'broken' eardrums!!!

The noise of mechanisms is really unbearable, you'd think a Swatch, I presume it must be imposible to sleep with an OQ on the nightstand.

It's a shame they never emerged from models with this type of automatic boxes.

Who knows?

Because, apparently they are able to ride the wave of 'revival', we will dream can be one of these days ....
