A good surprise

I'm not very much into Rolex, but I've always liked the design of the Oysterquartz case and the ref. 1530 & 1630 (Oysterquartz case with a mechanical movement), so I wanted to see the Land-Dweller in the metal. I asked to try on the 36 mm ref. 127234

Wearing my Pre-Land Dweller today!

Inspired by the announcement of new Rolex model at Watches and Wonders today I’m enjoying my “pre-Land Dweller” model ☺️☺️☺️. This is reference 1630 c1978 which actually it is not powered by a quartz movement watch but by a mechanic/automatic movement 157

simply excellent

For those of us who are OQ lovers, this new model is like the rebirth of an excellent design, however you want to link it, be it a 1630, 5100, or 17013, it's all the same to me, and now with a new caliber for Rolex, curiously for the same reason that the

wow excellent !

They say the case is thinner than a regular one. That new caliber, which is also exposed, makes it great. Personally, I always wanted Rolex to bring back the OQ case, and I wanted it in an automatic caliber because it was a very unique Rolex case back the

Hello jonrus: Yes, the models 1530/1630 which employ the same case used later in the Quartz model but with fitted an automatic movement reference 1570 are very rare as only 1.500 watches were made.

So they might be considered a "semi prototype". Both the 1530 all steel rerference called Oyster Perpetual Date and the ref 1630 Steel gold variant called Oyster Perpetual Datejust where introduced in 1975 and produced till year 1977 (a few were assembled

It looks good!

If I ever considered such a model, I think I would like to get the best of both worlds (oyster quartz case & mechanical movement) = ref. 1630 or 1530!

The 1970s look

Thanks! When I first looked at it, I found it weird looking comparing it with the regular vintage Rolex series. However, I have decided to take out my prejudices and view it as something non Traditional Rolex and remembering that it was produced in the 19
