Hello everybody,

Scrolling through Chrono24, I came across this Datejust 1601 apparently from 1974. The watch seems okay, but when zooming in, the font of the printing seems a bit off. Since it is a fairly old watch, and I know about the existence of straight "J" Datejust dial models, I was wondering if you think this is legit, fake, or a redial. Or if it was common that rolex changed fonts relatively often back in the day.

If you look for a datejust 1601 and filter "Italy" and "1974" you can find it. It's the one selling aorund 4654$.

Let me know your thoughts!

PS: Sorry I can not post links yet. I would apprecite if any user includes the pics so we can discuss.
