Iconic 70's design. Nice. I have had a few of these (and the predecessor 1530) and no matter how many times I sell one thinking time to move on I always end up missing it and buying another one 🙄
Fantastic video as always, just one minor point, Genta didn’t design the Oysterquartz, he did, however, pen the Texan (Rolex’s Beta 21 quartz watch) and the King Midas…
Truly enjoyed watching! The whole break down was incredible especially the bracelet! This channel should have way more subscribers, will share this video with all my watch nerd friends!🤓
That’s the key most people just polish material away , when they need to add as you do to get the correct shape ect ! So many badly over polished watches about 👍🏼
Gerald Genta has never said this was one of his designs. If he ever did, the prices will sky-rocket! It can rightly claim to be inspired by his Royal oak but even Rolex don't attribute it to him. Pity. 😕
Rolex mechanical movement, even this one ,quartz… are very reliable. Although, for less of the price, are more options as reliable, and same quality in materials. That being said, 18k gold is really soft … I wish fashion was 14k, that would make a remarkable difference in all brands. Specially for people who buy this pieces for daily use, instead of that one for “special events” that never occur
Not sure I agree. I'm not a rolex fan boy, and never will be, but back in the day, they were made to be worn and not stashed away. This watch has decades of daily wear, and is still not in bad condition considering. Don't also forget that metallurgy has improved significantly since these were made
Wow great job what a craftmanship! And the right tools you have!
Thank you very much!
you don't have to be a watch enthusiast, to appreciate the level and quality of work being carried out here.
Thank you very much 🙏
This might be the most “80’s” watch I’ve ever seen. A Gordon Gecko wet dream !
Thanks 🙏
😂😂😂😂 nice one
That quartz movement is beautifully made. Lovely audible ticks.
Thanks, indeed a great one!
Another case restoration masterclass. Lovely watch but those quartz movement modules spook me. Bravo
Thank you very much 🙏
Awesome job. This is the first time i’ve seen a battery in a Rolex, also love the blue dial
Thank you 🙏
Outstanding again. Such a lovely movement for a quartz.
Thank you very much!
Fantastic video and Amazing work!! 👍👍👍👏👏👏

Gerard Genta makes the Rolex King Midas too!
Really really good work, like it came out of the manufacture

So amazing!!
Thank you 🙏
I am a big fan of your work. I also do watch restoration as a hobby. I am impressed with your skills. Greetings from Poland.
Thank you 🙏

Awesome job! The watch is a real beauty. The second hand not hitting the markers drives me crazy tho. 🤭
Thank you 🙏
Gorgeous Rolex even though it’s a Quartz
Not a regular quartz!
Unique content
Thank you 🙏
Amazing! Do you know how is the microscope looking tool named? The one you used to restore the watch case, 8:09
Thanks 🙏 The tool is an original sallaz holder. Check out my videos, there I restored a 2 axis one.
Thank you so much. I love your work you are an artist besides a watchmaker of course
Bravo pour cette belle carrosserie !
Thanks 🙏
Beautiful! I have an Oysterquartz with the champagne dial. Nice original condition but not as nice as this restored version!
Thank you 🙏
Отличный глянец получился! Поставлю лайк.
Thanks 🙏
grande
👊
Thanks 🙏
All good but need new bezel, or just do smooth and will be great
Apart from the bezel and the date bubble it's not dissimilar to the royal oak ! 🤔
True
Tatsächlich sehr schön geworden.
Stellst du die Wasserdichtigkeit auch wieder komplett bis Herstellerangabe her?
Danke, selbstverständlich teste ich die Wasserdichtigkeit.
@@Vintwatches Auf 3 bar oder 10 bar?

Todo muy bien pero por qué un eslabón está satinado en ángulo y no recto?????????
Warum die Lünette so totpoliert? Der Rest ist gut geworden.
Ich hab die lünette gar nicht wirklich angefasst 😬 leider war diese schon recht poliert.

No work on the movement???
That's not what his channel is about. It's about restorations to the case, the bracelet. It's the difficult stuff.
Amazing of what poor quality Rolex really are & how they dont really stand the test of time
Thank you 🙏
They are very high quality. You cannot do anything about the wear particularly gold pieces….as the metal is soft
