Rolex Oysterquatz

[gonzagapoor]

I have several questions regarding the Rolex Oysterquartz ((17000 series); hopefully, someone can help me or point me to help:

-Is the location of the S# on all OQ in the same place ?? I've seen some with it on the back of the casing, and some with it between the band lugs.

-Are all OQ dials enscribed the same at the 6 o'clock position (ie, "T SWISS T") ??

-I found one OQ with the s# starting with a "S" followed by 6 mumbers. Does this mean it was manufactured in ca. 1993 ?? I know that the last reference to OQ in the Rolex catalogue was in 1993, but was lead to believe that they had stopped production in 1991.

Thanks for your time,

Welcome.
#1-Yes the serial is always in the same place.
#2-No not all of them, some are luminova and have Swiss Made instead.
#3-The final production was K serial# in 01, not in 93.
