Attn Barkmaster!

This one caught my eye and looking for advice!

Late 1980's
Has a good fairly tight band

Questions:
I noticed the bezel seems a bit different. Maybe engine turned bezel? And cool dial non luminous I think

Do you know if this is factory original available? Or possibly some replaced (although I'm certain it's all Rolex parts)?

Nice watch. Looks as though the bezel texture relates to the bracelet texture.

Yes it's factory original. This type bezel came later on and is usually only found on the later double quick date change models, but many of the earlier models have also been upgraded with the newer type bezels.

I'm starting to like the bark. Retro 70s/80s look and subtle.
