Does anyone here actually own a quartz Rolex?
Isn't his like owning a battery operated Ferrari?

Bruce has an OQ, LM. He really likes it. I don't know of anyone else who has one here. I almost got one a couple of years ago, but I let it get away from me when the price went a bit higher than I wanted to go. Had I known then what I know now about them, I probably would have stretched and gone for it.

I own this one. I really do like it. Would not buy it as my first or only Rolex. But as number 5 it fits very nicely in the collection.

Not a real fan of quartz watches, but like the case and bracelet on the ROLEX O/Q.But now with the likes of the high end models from Japan, produced by Seiko and Citizen, making now as good a case and finish IMO, and certainly a more accurate quartz movements

I would get one for two reasons. The intergrated bracelet is awesome and unique and they are not common at all. Like Mark said, maybe not as an only Rolex, but one to fill out a collection.

I have a TT 17013 OQ and it is off less than a second a month. It was my first Rolex actually. I since have added and sold several and settled on the LV and SD as well as the OQ.

Nice Mr. K, Thats the exact one I want.

We love our OQ. Tam wears it alot, and I would wear it if I didn't have to keep resizing the bracelet. The case and bracelet are very unique so it's a non Rolex looking Rolex. And it is very accurate.

I wouldn't buy it as my first Rolex, but it's a great addition to a Rolex collection!

I'm not a fan of the bracelet and case design, but it would be fun to wear it around and listen to people tell you it's not a real Rolex cuz it ticks like a quartz.

Particularly if you go into a watch shop.

Since I don't have an OQ, Bruce, we're all counting on you to do this!

Then we expect a detailed account posted here.
