Considering an Oysterquartz

I love my 17013. The two tone is brushed and oh so subtle.Its a nice alternative both in style and size to my 40 mm sport models.
Rolex Dallas serviced it shortly after i purchased and replaced the stepper motor and circuit board with NOS. Right now its most likely worth what i have into it. Definitely look for a crisply angled case as well as bezel. |

It's Jose bud, not Joe. I see you're from Australia so maybe you don't understand that. I guess Google doesn't like you my friend.
Mechanical watch movements are powered by gears and springs. They're autonomous little machines without the need for electric power sources, whereas quartz watches are powered by batteries that vibrate little crystals Quartz watches are battery powered, while mechanical watches are powered by gears and springs. Mechanical watches can be automatic or manual wind. Automatic watches have a rotor that winds a mainspring when the wearer moves their wrist, while manual wind watches need to be wound regularly by turning the crown. ![]() ![]()

If you look up the movement it’s actually more of a hybrid, part mechanical part quartz.

IMO, if you don't have to wind it to run, it's not mechanical. ![]()
