OYSTERQUARTZ 17000 Mark I
Rolex 17000 Oysterquartz Mark I from 1978, acquired unpolished from the first owner. The shape of the case from the 1970s is reminiscent of Genta designs and is still absolutely modern today and has been taken up again in the Land Dweller. Only around 25,000 Oysterquartz were built over a period of about 25 years. For me, it is an absolute must for a collection as a representative of an era in Swiss watchmaking history.

I like the design of the Oysterquartz
and yours seems to be a very nice example. Best, Emmanuel
I sold mine too

very nice specimen
The Mark 1's are the purest example of OQ, before they started adding text to the dial and also fiddling with the bracelet design.
I always loved that cushion shaped case and I am glad it is back with the Landdweller. 👍🏻🤩
Looks flawless! Congrats to this find! 🍀🚀
