New to vintage

Hello to all. I'm a long time new Rolex owner (since 2008) and I'm about to purchase a new vintage datejust for the first time ever. Just wanted to have some opinion if you think this is not a fake.
Thank you

Have you done your homework? What is your own opinion? Does that bracelet look period correct for 1970 or is it a later one?

Not really. I just got into this shop that it happened to have lots of vintage Rolexes. As i said, I have no experience whatsoever with vintage watches. I only buy new.
Cheers

Well the bracelet is later but could easily be a service replacement. The rest looks ok from the photos. I would ask to see the movement.

Yes, it's a 1601. Looks legit at first glance and the dial is nice.

Bracelet is later, but that's quite common.
