My new to me 1630

Not the first one I put on my wrist but certainly the nicest one I looked at. I am very pleased to add it to my collection. Anyone else out there love the look and style of the 1630? I would love to see some other ones and hear opinions on how rare or common this watch actually is.

Thanks!!

I brought it to my watch guy and he said in 30 years he has worked on four of them. From what I read between this and the 1530 only about 1500 were ever made. I think I was lucky to find an original one with a nice band.

Super watch I just learned about these watches about two years ago and I tried to get my hands on a 1530 that an old man had at the mall but he would not part with it. I think the tutone is fabulous

I would love to have a 1530 as well but they go for a lot more money. The ones I have seen recently are between 7-10K. They are supposed to be the rarer of the two models.
