Driven by curiosity and built on collectability , this is where timelessness meets craftsmanship.
About me
My name is Tugce ( too-Chey) and I am the founder of a boutique vintage watch business built on a deep appreciation for the Rolex oyster perpetual date just. With a background spanning luxury retail and brand storytelling I aim to bring a rare blend of hospitality and knowledge to the world of vintage Rolex.
My fascination with the Rolex Datejust mainly stems from its timeless proportions and enduring relevance, which became the foundation of Fluted London. What began as personal curiosity evolved into a curated offering shaped by rigorous research and a commitment to transparency. We approach each timepiece with the same care we bring to every client interaction with a warm and grounded in genuine respect for the craft.
Known for my hospitable nature and my instinct for making people feel understood, I built Fluted London as a service‑first experience. Every watch is selected with intention, authenticated with precision, and presented with the level of care expected from a boutique brand.
For me, Fluted London is more than a business, it’s a celebration of heritage and the joy of finding a watch that feels like it was always meant to be yours.

Here we have a Rolex Oysterquartz Reference 17000. This particular example dates to 1980 and houses Rolex’s in house quartz Calibre 5035. With its integrated bracelet and sharply faceted case, the Oysterquartz carries a distinctly architectural, utilitarian design that stands apart within the Rolex line up.
The dial :
The dial is named after the renowned watch expert and Rolex fanatic ‘John Buckley’, who collected these dials . This particular example is matte white with printed roman numerals.
Opinion :
In my opinion this is one of the most interesting and fascinating era for Rolex as a brand . Rolex, known for its traditional approach of the sweeping hand, launched the oyster quartz in 1977 as a departure from its traditional offerings. One of the stand out features of the oyster quartz was its high frequency oscillator. Unlike standard oscillators that were used, which was attributable to its accuracy and increased durability in the movement.
