Pre-owned Rolex Datejust ref. 1630 (1976) is a bit of a curious watch because it resembles an OysterQuartz (with its angular case and distinctive, integrated bracelet), yet is powered by an automatic mechanical movement. Furthermore, unlike the bracelet found on its quartz-powered counterpart, ref. 17013, it features three yellow gold center links instead of just two, and the dial has a noticeable flange around the perimeter that slopes downward. This model is decorated with minute and half-minute hashes, suggesting that the dial is original and not a service replacement. These watches were born just a few years before the OysterQuartz. As the story goes, it took Rolex five years to develop the in-house quartz movement that would go inside the OysterQuartz watches. However, the cases were already made. Rather than letting them sit, they housed them with automatic movements and sold them under references 1530 (stainless steel) and 1630 (two-tone). They were only produced for a short time and offer collectors in the market for unusual Rolex watches a lot of value.
I purchased this because it is such a unique Rolex. I don't understand why they aren't more money. Great watch and in two tone! Arrived right on time and looks nice.
