Lets say the price is around 2750-3500$ per watch. Would you pull the trigger? Quartz watches are not bad. Omega sell lotta of them :D

The GMT Master · 3 October 2011, 03:15 AM

Nope. Quartz holds no interest for me beyond the £150 mark

LightOnAHill · 3 October 2011, 03:15 AM

No. I think it's fun to set it once a month.

subtona · 3 October 2011, 03:16 AM

not a chance.
the very reason i bought my first rolex is because it wasn't quartz.

Rolex has made quartz watches in the past and I doubt that the reason you bought your first Rolex was because it wasn't quartz............there are a million better reason for shelling out the money for a Rolex other than its not a quartz watch.

I have Quartz but only to set the automatics to lol

I know most quartz are better at time keeping but I like that fact that I'm keeping the other watches ticking.

Rolex Junky · 3 October 2011, 03:24 AM

No. That would be like buying an automatic FM1 car.

They actually come automatic nowadays...

dddrees · 3 October 2011, 03:31 AM

Nope

ldiggy · 3 October 2011, 03:40 AM

Personally I would buy one, were it not for the fact that if I'm spending that kind of money, the last thing I want is everyone thinking that I'm wearing a fake. To most people that don't know anything about Rolex watches, a ticking Rolex is a tell-tale sign of a fake.

TSW · 3 October 2011, 03:42 AM

No, but i do love to add a nice Oyster Quartz

Like To Watch · 3 October 2011, 03:46 AM

When they start making them it will give me something to think about.

...........................but them again no.

renfield33 · 3 October 2011, 03:50 AM

I have a quartz that is less accurate than my GMT II. The oysterquartz would be interesting if i had a large collection, but i'm not interested right now.

Polemic · 3 October 2011, 03:54 AM

Never.

koc · 3 October 2011, 04:12 AM

I will buy one for sure , but if its much cheaper

brkanand · 3 October 2011, 04:15 AM

Surely. Why not? Provided they sell them for under $500/-

MonBK · 3 October 2011, 04:21 AM

Yes

jamesbondOO7 · 3 October 2011, 04:31 AM

Never.

smallcandle · 3 October 2011, 04:44 AM

No. I like the idea that my 16610 has a "heartbeat"...

Rags · 3 October 2011, 04:58 AM

It would depend on the price. I love my automatic watches but I really have no problem with a quartz movement either. Omega makes both & the quartz sell, so again it would depend on the price.

Java · 3 October 2011, 05:17 AM

For me if it doesn't have a mainspring and balance wheel, it is not a watch.

Danand · 3 October 2011, 05:27 AM

Sure-I'd buy one at the same time as I bought a patek quartz.
Seriously- no I have no interest in a quartz rolex. I think the most I would ever consider for a quartz watch would be a TAG. (I bought one for my wife since she was adamant that she did not want an automatic watch).

firstOwatch · 3 October 2011, 05:47 AM

Never !

Art 1 · 3 October 2011, 05:48 AM

No.

capote · 3 October 2011, 06:05 AM

No I would not. It would cheapen the brand. I do like the old Oyster Quartz though, as a curious anomaly in Rolex history.

It's not about Rolex brand!
It's about US who are wearing them!

Like driving a convertible RACING car with automatic transmission!

Rolex still makes Quartz models you know that right?

Not in the models that you mentioned. The Submariner, Yachtmaster, Milgauss, Explorer II, GMT and Daytona are all AUTOMATIC watches. The only way you're going to find a quartz model of these is if you buy a FAKE. Rolex made a quartz model a few years ago but discontinued them. There may be quartz models in the Cellini line, but that's it.

subtona · 3 October 2011, 06:13 AM

not only wouldn't i buy one, i wouldn't wear one if it were free.
