*The official OYSTERQUARTZ owners thread*
As we have more time in these unprecedented times I have searched for an owners thread for the controversial OysterQuartz, with no findings.

There are websites dedicated to this watch and a ton of history, some great threads to say the least except ...

AN OWNERS THREAD

SO IF YOUR ONE OF THE FEW POST YOUR PICTURE!

I've been an OQ fan since the '80's, but have never owned one. Your's is exactly the one I would get.

I keep hoping they come out with a 39mm version.

Go for one they are great!

As far as size I don’t have any other 36mm watches but I do feel it wears a bit larger than a 36 but still smaller than a 40 so honestly I think your desire for 39 might be already met. Give it a shot, I think many owners will agree with this sentiment.

What a find! Looks stunning with those modern Rolex features (etched coronet and closed number date wheel). I wonder how many NOS may be out there today.

There was this one (wasn't as popular as I'd hoped):
https://www.rolexforums.com/showthre...highlight=5100

Hopefully this one goes better! This reference doesn't get the respect it deserves.
