Rolex quartz

[willy]

KlausM Skrev:Yes 1970 seems to be the year. I'm not that fond of the ref 5100 design but the later models are very lovely.

Citat:

I am a idiot on a computer so no pictures Klaus.I will try to learn I think the Rolex Q and the Oak have many things in common the way the bracelet flows into the case and the way both watches catch the light.I cannot understand why Rolex did not use this design on all oyster watches or why they put the strongest bracelet on a everyday watch instead of a diver like the sub.Maybe because they were fighting against the Japanese Quartz invasion and they did not dare take the chance or use the money for a radical change of their models at that time.I have read a few theorys about Genta and his design for the Oak no body knows for sure.But when Rolex sold the very first Quartz watches only to a few special customers Gerald was one of them.
