Daveofedinburgh 0 Posted June 13, 2018 Hi guys, Long time lurker, just joined! :-) Wondering if anyone can point me to a good rep Oysterquartz (from a trusted dealer, if possible)? I'd imagine it's a watch ripe for a rep, yet I'm finding it rather hard to track one down... Also interested in a Bulova Royal Oak rep (bit of a long shot I know!) and any Squale reps available. Any help from RWGers greatly appreciated! Regards, David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RUSH2112 11 Posted June 13, 2018 Best bet is to check with the tds. Sending them pics is a good idea if they are a little unusual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FunnyStarSystem 7,538 Posted June 13, 2018 Awesome question bc I like the looks of some of the Oysterquartz too, but it seems like the factories don't think much of them, which is ironic since I'm sure the profit margin would be pretty sweet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,501 Posted June 13, 2018 HAven't seen an oysterquartz yet. And, about squale, they worth the money they cost: a good quale now it's not more than 1500$ so why getting a rep? See this jewel for example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/123102177115 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think there's rep of Squale or Bullova but what is certain is that there's currently no rep of the OysterQuartz, which is indeed weird considering that should be pretty straight forward to make. I guess if that doesn't work in gen, that doesn't work in rep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semperfi55 4,707 Posted June 14, 2018 It's a cool watch to collect, I'd snap up a rep if they made them. But for the majority of the rep market, no one would want a relatively unknown quartz Rolex. Understandably, buyers would predict that people would immediately scream fake at it. On the flip side, I do want a gen Oysterquartz. And rub it in the face of amateur watch snobs who think it's fake because it's a quartz. (Very niche use of that watch) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another stunt would be to purchase a gen Rolex quartz movement (I see one on eBay for $900 ) and insert it into a submariner or any Rolex never made with a quartz movement, and put it up for sale on all the Rep forums for huge money while hyping its gen movement. I can't even imagine the heated discussion which would ensue. I'm sure one of our meticulous, industrious modders will be on this at any moment, it can't possibly be at all difficult /s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
