Datejust 17013, really pretty watch

Just sharing a watch from my late husbands collection, this one seems to have its original parts more than a couple others but still not sure, though not searching for info on this one just wanted to share it as it is beautiful. (though perhaps not to Rolex purists, not sure if they object to the Quartz movement) (adding the photo in a bit the thread was bugging for me)

OQ is unique Rolex which I love very much. I am searching for full set OQ for quite sometimes and it is getting harder to locate one in good condition.

Do you guys know if it is a quick set? Someone asked me that the other day and I don't know. The model is 17013 then it says B. I believe the year lands it around 87/89. It sure did keep itself well !! (another one that stayed in the safe for a very long time)

That's really nice. These are not that common and I think they will only go up in value. They are certainly under appreciated and undervalued now imo.

The Oysterquartz movement is very good, other than Grand Seiko's 9F movement it's probably the best thermo-compensated analogue quartz ever made. More info here (it is quickset btw) -

Very nice Oysterquartz! Blue is my favourite dial colour on all of these models. And yes, it has a quickset date.
