Just bought another vintage Quartz!
That's right friends, I now have a collection of (2) vintage quartz watches. First was the 1985 WG Piaget and now this beautiful oysterquartz datejust 17000.
Disapointed with the Tudor I intended to buy, I stumbled upon a 1980 (the year I was born) oysterquartz with a beautiful black dial and in a decent condition. I instantly fell in love with the bracelet and after a phone call with friend, I pulled the trigger. CIMG3599.JPG CIMG3606.JPG CIMG3607.JPG CIMG3603.JPG CIMG3609.JPG |

Your right - the bracelet on the OQ (17000 at least) is a very heavy, proper solid link affair. One of the best Rolex has ever made IMO.
