She has arrived

Rolex 1530 with correct bracelet.
Yes it’s been polished but yeah it’s old.
Dial and hands probably replaced but yeah it’s old.
Why do I love it.
I’m a child of the 1970’s and yeah I’m old.

Great looking watch

Hate the use of ‘she’ to describe watches or cars though

Looks good, I do like Quartz style case on that one! I'm old AF too if it makes you feel any better.

LOL I'm a child of the 70s too but refused to get old.

Beautiful and rare piece you got there. I own an Oysterquartz 17000 with similar bracelet and I have to say it's probably the best bracelet Rolex has ever made.

Ooh, that's spectacular! #Can'tBreathe

Newer hands for sure, but the creamy fade on the dial and outer-track pips make them look original.

Sweet! I've got one too with the 96660 bracelet. Very cool watch -- you may have inspired me to throw mine on tomorrow.
