    Very nice watch. Rather rare too. Looks very similar to the oysterquartz but has a 1570 movement.

    Back in the day, that was called the “New Style” Oyster. I don”t know whether that was colloquial, or whether that was what Rolex called it.

    Right? Very unusual, not something you see often. And with a sharp case and all the lume dots intact. Attractive piece. And again, that band. It's a clear reaction to the trends and styles of the time, but not an overreaction.

    Thanks @Traveler. Some good info and background here.

    Sidenote: I've yet to see a watch related video of people talking with their hands that works for me. Seems really difficult to do without being self conscious, it actually drives me a little nuts.

    Case in point!

    I love this 1530. But it's hard to plunk down that kind of cash without knowing how it would feel on the wrist with the integrated bracelet/case

    I suppose you could buy the oysterquartz reference as a cheaper alternative to test, but you're still locking in a couple thousand at that point.

    Interesting. Never seen that before. Did not know that Rolex has produced such bracelets.

    Definitely a rare piece :thumbsup:

    Beautiful watch, indeed. The asking price seems a little bit high but that one is a mint specimen. Untouched hands and dial with very nice tritium plots and lightly polished case.

    The integrated case / bracelet combo is a pleasure to wear and sits beautifully on the wrist.

    Mine says hi.
