Oysterquartz Datejust 36 17000

Introducing a wonderful Rolex watch. This is the Rolex Datejust Oysterquartz Mark 1 MK1 Silver Dial REF.17000 model. The MK1 dial will be described below. This watch is not one that has been used much and parts have been replaced as it has been rolled around here and there, but has been kept and stored since its release. This watch is in near unused, collectible condition. It is in such good condition that it has not even undergone the usual polishing. Since the back of the watch case has a unique serial number and model number engraved in relief, the value and collectibility of Oyster Quartz products are determined by whether or not they are polished. This is a 100% original watch that was first produced at a Rolex factory in Switzerland and has never been repaired or replaced since. This model is a perfect fit for those who are looking for an Oyster Quartz model in good condition. It is also equipped with the MK1 dial, which is the most valuable and highly collectible of Oyster Quartz models. This model boasts high rarity and collection value among the classic Rolex models. It is a model with a completely different feel from the commonly seen Datejust model. This model has historical value and high rarity, and the case and bracelet are designed as an integrated unit, similar to the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak model, so it is nicknamed the Rolex Royal Oak overseas. (★See photo) This watch has an interesting history. In the 1970s, Seiko was the first in the world to introduce a new technology and genre called quartz to the watch market. This event is called the Quartz Crisis. In other words, it is a very important history in the history of watches, where the watch competition between Switzerland and Japan unfolded. (★See photo) As a result, mechanical watches, which were once the exclusive domain of the wealthy, were replaced by inexpensive quartz watches, causing 60% of Swiss watch brands to disappear into history. At that time, many major watch brands also suffered huge losses, and Rolex also went through a management crisis and was on the verge of bankruptcy. During this time, the technical team took special measures to create in a short period of time the Oyster Quartz that I sell, and it was first revealed to the world in 1978. In the case of the Oysterquartz watches that were produced early on, they were not chronometer certified, so as you can see in the photo, they were not chronometer certified (Chronometer Officially Certified) like other Rolex watches. So, the lower part of the dial has only one word, "OYSTERQUARTZ", and the first half of the dial is called the Mark 1 dial, or MK1 for short. (★See photo) This mark designation is mainly used in the vintage watch market, and is a name given to classify models within the same reference model number, such as Submariner and Daytona. Not only vintage watches, but also the current Fabsi models are still in use today because the bezel color changes depending on the production period of the Fabsi, such as MK1 MK2 MK3. This Oyster Quartz Mark 1 MK1 dial, which was initially produced in extremely small quantities, has gained recognition for its historical value from watch collectors and celebrities over time, and its rarity and collection value are increasing every year due to the principles of supply and demand. The model for sale is 17000, and unlike other Datejust Oyster Quartz watches, the production quantity was small, so over time it has been recognized for its highly complete design and rarity. The movement inside the watch is very complex and sophisticated compared to other watches, and it is the best watch that contains Rolex's unique technology and history. It is the only quartz watch that left its mark in the history of Rolex watches, and at the time of its release, it broke Rolex's pride in insisting on mechanical watches, while at the same time earning it praise as a Rolex. What's really interesting about this quartz movement is that, although it's quartz, when you open it up and see it in operation, it operates exactly like a mechanical movement. It's structurally different from an electronic quartz movement that uses a regular battery. (★See photo) Considering the domestic market, we offer Oyster Quartz products in the best condition in the world at a reasonable price. Rather than watches commonly worn by others or models with many counterfeit products, we highly recommend this product to those who want a special watch of their own and to those who can appreciate the history and value of Rolex. This level of condition is hard to find, even in Korea and around the world, so it is highly recommended for professional watch collectors.
