This is a great watch, Abel.
I had forgotten about its existence and only remembered the ref. 1530, to which I dedicated a thread. It’s great to see this reference in two-tone and I find these mechanical integrated bracelet references really meaningful historically and attractive.
Best, Emmanuel
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...
My big pleasure IDBOT! Glad you like it.
I guess the new Land Dweller is very similar though of course with an improved movement and a bit different central links in the bracelet. Best, Abel
Great creative word creation, dear Abel! LOLLL
I find it very interesting that it has an automatic movement. I have always associated this Rolex model with a quartz movement. All the best, dear Abel Thomas
Thank you Thomas!! This model has an interesting story as being…
… a kind of test model for this case to be used in the Quartz line. Most people viewing it think it is a Rolex Quartz as this version is little known. Thank you for your comments Thomas!! Best Abel
Ha ha ha ha!! Thank you so much dear Tony!!
You made me laugh loudly! A big hug for you my dear friend! Abel

Thank you so much for your comments Emmanuel!
Yes, I remember your post about the 1530. Agree with your comments about these great and very little known watches. I wish you enjoy yours so much! Cheers! Abel
It’s not mine unfortunately!
Just a model which has always felt attractive to me. Cheers, Emmanuel
I don't like the dial at all, nor the rectangular hands.
But I'm almost sure that it looks a little better in real life (it almost always does). But still, aesthetically, I feel more attracted to 1530, 1630 or Oysterquartz. Do you like it?
Hello Quattro! As you well say we need to see a watch in the metal.
Viewing it in person and specially trying it on our wrists allows to better judge it. My personal opinion: I like it overall. Of course I would like a plainer dial without the honeycomb pattern and post indexes or may be with Roman numbers. I like the cas...
Thanks for your answer, Abel.
I agree with what you say: let's wait and see if we manage to try it on and how available it will be be...
