Explorer 2011 · 26 April 2011, 04:11 AM

moviefreak · 26 April 2011, 04:12 AM

A popular model?

Cheaper model?

Can't have been too successful given they no longer do them?

Chris B · 26 April 2011, 04:21 AM

Great pics Jocke, thanks for sharing

PS

Do you still have those pics of replacement sand
from when Rolex ventured into sand-timers? lol

Actually, they still do make a couple of quartz powered models in their Cellini range, although there are, indeed, none in the main Oyster range

GeoGio Greece · 26 April 2011, 04:25 AM

Thank You Jocke ! I had NEVER seen one dismantled !!

I was ready to purchase the specific watch back in '86, model 17013, just as a companion to my then SS DJ, Sub, AK and GMT collection, (

), but all my friends then said

-A Rolex in quatrz ? Never ! It must be a crap !

Now you have just proved the opposite !

Excellent photos, as always

horseco · 26 April 2011, 04:38 AM

you still couldn't pay me to wear a Quartz watch, no matter who manufactured it... great pics though!!!

pawnshopkiller · 26 April 2011, 04:51 AM

Nice pics, Thanks for the indepth look at the movement

SPARTAN2161 · 26 April 2011, 04:54 AM

great pics, Jocke

I wore an OQ 17000 for about 5 years, and I've got nothing but praise for the watch, beautiful, tough, accurate.The design of the case and integrated bracelet is top notch, makes it a very comfortable watch to wear.Wish i never sold it.

Irony, just think the RSC's probably have one watchmaker left who knows how to work on these, and dozens who understand the timeless mechanical movements.

Michael M. · 26 April 2011, 08:41 AM

Nice pics Jocke! Cool watch!

Andad · 26 April 2011, 09:13 AM

Good pix Jocke - thanks for taking the time to do this.

I have put them in my Rolex misc folder - I hope you don't mind.

Rikki · 26 April 2011, 09:17 AM

Actually the Rolex quartz is completely unique in design and function. It uses an escape wheel pallet fork and gearing very similiar to the automatic 3035 series. It uses a stepping motor that makes a very discernable tick tick when running. It is a very fine movement and keeps excellent time, I am servicing one this week so timely photo's and Jocke great shots as usual. Rik

Skullring · 26 April 2011, 09:19 AM

Great photos. Very interesting movement.
