-Description
The Oyster Perpetual is a direct descendant of the original Oyster, launched in 1926, and is the watch that made Rolex famous as the world's first waterproof wristwatch.
Reference 1530 is a model that appeared in 1976 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the release of the first Oyster watch from Rolex.
Not only in the category of Oyster Perpetual, it is a model with an integrated bracelet that is very rare among Rolex watches.
This watch is the origin of Rolex's only quartz model, Oysterquartz.
It features a sporty design with a case with sharp edges and an integrated bracelet.
It looks very similar to the watches called luxury sports like the Royal Oak that appeared in 1972, the Nautilus in 1976, and the Ingenieur.
The case size is 35mm, but it looks bigger than the number due to the design integrated with the bracelet.
One of the features is that it uses a sapphire glass windshield, which was rare at the time.
The dial shows moderate aging. Sunray finish, bar index and bar hand are familiar combinations for Rolex.
This model's unique details differ from this Oyster quartz in that the minute part of the outer circumference of the index is slanted and that the luminous elements are arranged.
The movement is equipped with a self-winding Cal.1570. It has a hack function.
The bracelet is an integrated oyster bracelet 96660, and the length is 13 pieces. You can hardly see any droop.
Not polished in the service. (If you wish, we will accept it separately after purchase)

In order to achieve this, the presence of a skilled repair craftsman is essential.

About Complete Service
Complete service, sometime called overhaul is the work of disassembling a mechanical product down to its individual parts, cleaning and reassembling it to bring it closer to its new state of performance.
Roughly speaking, the overhaul procedure is as follows.
1. Separate into case and movement
2. Disassemble the movement
3. Inspection and pre-cleaning of wear condition of each part
4. Wash parts with a special machine
5. Lubrication and assembly
6. Waterproof test
7. Final adjustment and running test.
Some movements are made up of hundreds of parts, but it is a very meticulous process of disassembling them one by one, inspecting them all, cleaning them, and reassembling them.
If you don't overhaul, the oil will deteriorate just like a car, and the risk of wear and damage to parts increases, causing a decrease in accuracy and, in severe cases, not working.
There is also the reason that it will be very expensive to replace parts after they are found to be damaged, so we recommend overhauling once every 2-3 years for economical and long-term use.
About Polishing
Vintage watches have been used for decades, and even the stainless steel used in many watches has rounded corners that were originally sharp, and has many small scratches even though the mirror finish should be beautiful. state.
At Arbitro, some watches are sold with a new finish, based on the idea that you can purchase them in beautiful condition and use them for a long time.
In particular, gold-cased dress watches are finished to bring out the best of the precious metal case.
The watches sold by us that have been given a new finish are shot in very high definition, so you can see that the edges stand out and the light is reflected by the mirror finish.
Also, depending on the case or bracelet, there are cases where multiple finishes such as mirror finish and hairline finish are mixed, but there are not many craftsmen who can distinguish between them and finish them at a high level.
In addition, the “thinness of the case” is also a part that is greatly influenced by the skill of the craftsman.
A watch that has become thinner and has thinner lugs is far from its original design, and the appearance becomes unbalanced.
It is a very precise work that brings the case closer to the original finish by eliminating scratches and dents while reducing the thickness of the case to the utmost limit.
Of course, there are cases where it is better to use the watch as it is, in order to emphasize the history of the watch and its original condition.
We look at each watch and judge whether it is best to finish it before selling it.
