New to the board,and was shocked to see this posted on the model
1530. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for us!! When my father passed he left me the exact model watch that we are discussing. I am a gemologist by trade,but my store does not work w/Rolex. I have however talked w/ many Rolex reps and dealers and get the same response."I don't know the exact value,but would you like to sell it?? So unfortunately,I have no answer. I'm sure that at some point in the trade I'll find out. Does Jeff Hess have an E-mail? I've got his book on Rolex watches but that model is'nt included. Many thanks for listening and I will do my best to find out and hope you that you will do the same.
