Hats off to the 1530 Rolex..truly a rare breed!

I just picked up a rare 1530 automatic watch and realized that there are quite a few people who have never seen one and in some cases havent even heard of what they are..
here is a link to catch many of you up on the Rolex OQ's and the 1530/1630
OQ's with automatic movement's(see links at bottom of page)
http://www.oysterquartz.net/
basically,Rolex wanted to test the oysterquartz case design and also see whether or not the case had appeal to their demanding customers..to this end they took the oyster-quartz case/bracelet and installed an automatic movement in it..supossedly there was only between 500 and a thousand ever made,which makes it very rare indeed..
anyways,you can find out much about more about them with a simple search,but I wanted to give people a quick look at one of these rare beauties..this one has a beautiful tropical dial,which to me just adds to its rare and unique appearance..
enjoy!
