Rolex Date 1530


The watch that got me into vintage in the first place was this one
 automatic Ref. 1530 from the year 1976
The reference 1530 was produced in the mid 70's and suspended in 1977
it comes with a unique Rolex bracelet (ref 96660) very deferent from the common oyster and jubilee bracelets .

1530 is very rare due to its short time of production .
