Oysterquartz 17000 (1994)

Hi, Gentleman’s, ))) A few months ago I bough a Rolex OYSTERQUARTZ 17000 (year 1994) perfect condition. It was immediately sent at Rolex FRANCE for a complete service and to have a minimum of documents.

Here are some photos))























The bracelet’s massif, perfectly well the wrist, broad towards the case and narrow towards the clasp, which allows a pleasant freedom of movement of the hand. And I like the design so much!

Details of the bracelet









Surprisingly, the serial number of clasp H correspond to the year 1983 (can be left in stock afterward 11 years? …)





Case number’s details of model 17000 at 3:00, number of model of bracelet 17000B





STAINLESS STEEL at 5h



REGISTERED DESIGN at 7h

[IMG]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3338/3269557599_afc01b1177_o.jpg

Serie’s number S280391 (1994 year) at 11h



Crown’s details





Dial















Caliber 5035



































Glass





The glass had been changed, you can see the letter S (SERVICED) inside the laser graved crown



Somme photos in the dark for see the difference between OYSTERQUARTZ and SUBMARINER DATE











In conclusion I can say that the watch is extraordinary, by his comfort and originality of the design, with dimensions and the dial of the Eighties. Considering, that the bracelets are still available on order (250 euros average), a new one had been ordered at WEMPE Madeleine Paris.

If someone has some information about caliber 5035 it will be great to share it ))

Best regards

Beautiful Oyster-Quartz, enjoy it However your clasp is not original and is incorrect for a 17000 bracelet, yours came from a 78360 bracelet.

Thanks very much for this important precision, Wolfgang
I'll try to find more about this bracelet

Thanks, guys for yours congratulations
I use an old (3-4? years) Sony SyberShot 5.2 MB. With gasp to slip.
Mode auto everywhere, even the zoom. Only chose mode macro and switch off the flash. All the other modes are less detailed and it's difficult to find a correct focus.
I tried different kinds of cameras, but only this one is correct for price between 300 and 450 euros. My point of view, of course

Wonderful watch. I never appreciated the OysterQuartz until I did some research and found out how unique it is.

that is a great looking watch. I'm a little confused.... was the watch left new at the dealer for all of these years? and are you the first owner, or is it pre-loved? could you please tell us what you paid for it?

Also, does the second hand sweep like automatic movements or does it tick-tick like most quartz watches?

Thanks!

OMG, I don't know if I'm more impressed by the watch or your photography!

Congrats Akira on your taste AND your skills with a camera.

I know it's a little rude to ask... but we're all friends here... I'd also be curious to know price?

Great watch!! Hope you enjoy it very much.
I got a similar one, and may be it would be of your interest to read a post I sent some time ago:
http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=63775

Ticking is surprisingly loud and characteritic, isn´t it?

I found the oysterquartz.net web page, a very comprehensive and interesting web site were to find info about this Rolex variant, including about its movement.

Thanks for sharing your new watch!!
Kind regards, Abel
