Thanks for the link. The 1019 is certainly a very interesting watch. One thing not mentioned in the article is the 1580 movement that is used only in the 1019.

Thanks, guys. Another pic that highlights the crystal. The case is surprisingly low profile and is incredibly comfortable to wear.

Very nice, here's a twin to yours.

Easiest pic I had to share was one from Bob Ridley after he cleaned mine up.

Twins indeed! Yours is a beaut. I don't see this particular non luminous dial with the small "ROLEX" very often. I take it yours is late 60's?

From my limited research (Read: Looking on the internet) mine comes in around 1963-1964 (Serial is 1,636,XXX).

1.6 mil puts it around 1967, IMO. Mine is 1.9 mil, with a III 1968 caseback.
