New member - I think this watch is really rare (or fake)

Hi all

So I got given this Rolex as a present:



The back isn't gold plated.

It's an Oysterdate Precision with roman-arabic (california dial).

Some advice would be so great!

Thanks a mil

Welcome. Sorry, don't know about the authenticity. I have never seen a dial with both Roman and Arabic numbers, but I don't have much knowledge of vintage watches
