Looks great, I have been thinking of getting one at some point-that is the exact dial and bezel I would get as well.

Update:

I was going to go to Rolex NY on our way home from a week long trip to DC and NC. Instead, I will be taking a train in Wednesday am and leaving Wednesday pm. Will post details including pictures on Wednesday evening.

Well, I started a new thread to detail the service experience at Rolex NY.

I just wated to share a few thoughts about the Oysterquartz in this thread that was started by Subexplorer whose post kindled my desire to find the identical watch. He has also been extremely kind in answering some of my questions regarding his OQ.

This watch is incredible! It has a great, strong appearance and uniqueness compared to any other Rolex. It is one of only approximately 25,000 ever produced. The comfort of the band is unparalleled compared to any other watch I have ever owned, including no less than 10 other Rolex and numerous Omega watches.

In the three days it has been on my wrist it has not gained or lost a second. I have been lucky and have had a few automatic watches, both Rolex and Omega that would be within about 1-2 seconds a day and I thought that was incredible. I realize the reason for the accuracy is the quartz movement, but I have always obsessed over the accuracy of my watches, and now it appears I will have to find something else to obsess over.

If you have thought of getting an Oysterquartz, I can only advise you to run, not walk, to anyone or anywhere that may have one for sale and BUY ONE! They aren't being made anymore and I imagine sourcing one in the future could prove difficult as well as expensive. The prices are still fairly reasonable now, but I suspect that trend will not continue.

I have owned and flipped many Rolex watches...this one is a keeper. I may add to my collection in the future, but this is here to stay!
