Wrist shot with my 1530
Not an OysterQuartz but the integral oyster case/bracelet design was the prerequisite to the 17000 OQ. Only 500 to 1,500 ref. 1530's were ever made and it was the first all steel Rolex oyster with solid centre links and a sapphire crystal. Very rare and unique given that it houses the calibre 1570 automatic movement (the only all steel oyster with an auto in an integrated design) which Rolex replaced in 1977 after just three years with the analog-quartz 5035 which ran until 2001.
