Stainless steel Oysterquartz Datejust model 17000 from approx 1989 with silver / baton dial. Yes, for a number of years Rolex DID make a quartz watch whose second hand TICKS rather than sweeps, as people would rightly expect of a mechanical model, which this is not. These Oysterquartz models are quite rare and their chunky looks are not to everyone's taste, but this R237xxx case number example is in generally excellent condition and comes with a box set, an Oyster booklet, swing-tag and Rolex service papers from March 2010. We like to point out to customers just how LOUD the ticking sound always is on the Rolex 5035 quartz module. If you enjoy stalking lions, work for the Special Forces or are plagued by fears that a ticking bomb might be under your living room chair, this may not be the watch for you. Sold with a ONE YEAR warranty, since the quartz range is now discontinued. This watch comes with special permission from us to call anyone a daft buffoon who tells you that 'it must be fake because Rolex never made a watch which ticks.' Amazingly, this is a claim often heard in Rolex main agents' showrooms !
