ROLEX OysterQuartz Datejust 17000 White Roman
Tax Excluded Price
Oyster Quartz Datejust quartz watch, which is extremely rare among many Rolex models.
A model released in 1977 with an in-house quartz movement to compete with Seiko's quartz watches that have swept the world.
Oyster Quartz Datejust was produced until 2001, and there is a record that a total of 25,000 pieces were produced together with the Day-Date produced at the same time.
It is one of the very few watches produced by Rolex, producing less than 1,000 watches every year.
The most important feature is the sporty design with a case with a prominent edge and an integrated bracelet.
Like the Royal Oak that appeared in 1972, Nautilus in 1976, and Ingenieur, it looks very similar to a watch called luxury sports.
This Ref.17000 is the most standard combination of stainless steel case and bracelet, and the bezel is a plain bezel without decoration.
The bracelet is equipped with a triple type oyster bracelet 17000 which is different from 17013/17014.
Oyster Quartz The design that can be said to be the sportiest watch in Datejust.
The case size is 36mm (maybe due to the design of the joint with the bracelet), but it seems to be a little more voluminous than the actual value.
The dial has a slightly smaller Roman index on the white dial. Applied (typesetting) index in silver color, not printed.
This was overhauled at Rolex Japan in 2017, and the crown was replaced at that time, so it is in a state where daily use can be done with confidence.
Also, from the condition of the case and bracelet, It seems that it was stored in a state where it was hardly used.
A box, service warranty, and repair statement are included.
The bracelet has 12 frames. It can be installed up to 18.5 cm.
It will be handed over after the battery is replaced. After replacing the battery, it will be guaranteed for one year.

About Complete Service
Complete service, sometime called overhaul is the work of disassembling a mechanical product down to its individual parts, cleaning and reassembling it to bring it closer to its new state of performance.
Roughly speaking, the overhaul procedure is as follows.
1. Separate into case and movement
2. Disassemble the movement
3. Inspection and pre-cleaning of wear condition of each part
4. Wash parts with a special machine
5. Lubrication and assembly
6. Waterproof test
7. Final adjustment and running test.
Some movements are made up of hundreds of parts, but it is a very meticulous process of disassembling them one by one, inspecting them all, cleaning them, and reassembling them.
If you don't overhaul, the oil will deteriorate just like a car, and the risk of wear and damage to parts increases, causing a decrease in accuracy and, in severe cases, not working.
There is also the reason that it will be very expensive to replace parts after they are found to be damaged, so we recommend overhauling once every 2-3 years for economical and long-term use.
About Polishing
Vintage watches have been used for decades, and even the stainless steel used in many watches has rounded corners that were originally sharp, and has many small scratches even though the mirror finish should be beautiful. state.
At Arbitro, some watches are sold with a new finish, based on the idea that you can purchase them in beautiful condition and use them for a long time.
In particular, gold-cased dress watches are finished to bring out the best of the precious metal case.
The watches sold by us that have been given a new finish are shot in very high definition, so you can see that the edges stand out and the light is reflected by the mirror finish.
Also, depending on the case or bracelet, there are cases where multiple finishes such as mirror finish and hairline finish are mixed, but there are not many craftsmen who can distinguish between them and finish them at a high level.
In addition, the “thinness of the case” is also a part that is greatly influenced by the skill of the craftsman.
A watch that has become thinner and has thinner lugs is far from its original design, and the appearance becomes unbalanced.
It is a very precise work that brings the case closer to the original finish by eliminating scratches and dents while reducing the thickness of the case to the utmost limit.
Of course, there are cases where it is better to use the watch as it is, in order to emphasize the history of the watch and its original condition.
We look at each watch and judge whether it is best to finish it before selling it.
