THE MOMENT YOU ALL BEEN WAITING FOR....! (modem BURNER)

Ok so you all guessed wrong, obviously.
I pulled a brave move.
I bought a watch that was TT (18k/SS as you probably guessed)
AND a champagne dial.
AND it is QUARTZ!

Go figure.
Ah so maybe many of you knew. Anyway
JUST got it, just strapped it on, and for all its marks and swirls i love it.
Its off this weekend for a rolex appraisal (never be too safe) and cleanup.
My next thread will be the TTOUCH that the love of my life got me. My constant every day watch the ttouch has become (awesome and reliable), but my weekend watch will be this beast.
Enjoy!


WHATS THIS?!


The anticipation...


WAIT WEVE SEEN THIS BEFORE!


Wait, whats under the cloth...


Peaking out, hes a bit afraid.


BEAUTY!

Just wondering, what battery does rolex use?

edit: asking because I know seiko makes their own batteries (awesome battery life on those by the way)

That Oysterquartz is probably the most accurate Rolex ever made. My watch runs 5 mins slow. Ten years ago my DJ ran 30mins fast! I always loved the OQ design

Yeh I was eyeing off the Danica Patrick LTD edition T Touch for awhile there... it had a cool white racing type leather band and usual T Touch styling. Cos I love cars so much and now watches, figured it would be a nice one to have! But at $600US I got cold feet.... not sure its really my thing!

Not NASCAR, Amanda, Indy Racing League. She was rookie of the year for 2005, and finished 9th overall for 2006.
