Description
This 1985 Rolex Datejust Oysterquartz displays fantastic condition! It is great to place an Oysterquartz on the wrist, without having to wind or set it. The 36.5mm case with 14k gold bezel and two-tone solid-gold and steel bracelet is in very fine shape, fitting about a 7.5″ wrist. The Rolex sapphire crystal has a very subtle chip on the bottom edge, but it is not worth spending the money for a new crystal. This restored deep-black dial is so striking. This Rolex watch has a quick-set date feature for ease of setting. Rolex was known to manufacture these watches with the highest tolerances. In fact, the Oysterquartz was built to the highest tolerances of all watches Rolex made in this era. The electronic quartz movement in this Rolex is finely finished and considered to be the best quartz movement ever produced. Only the Rolex manual winding 1530, which preceded this watch for a very short time, utilized this same case and bracelet. I have never found an overly stretched bracelet on an Oysterquartz, as they are built so well. We wear an Oysterquartz often, because they have such a sleek, modern look and are larger than most vintage Rolex watches (other than the sports models from the same era). This battery operated watch is ticking away very accurately. This watch looks essentially new. The combination of steel, gold, and black is truly stunning.
