Rolex Precision - How does it look?

Curious about this Rolex Precision 6246 I picked up. Tritium on the hands and dial are matching in patina age. Not handled many of these in the flesh so would like some expert opinions on this dial. More pics available if needed. Thank you all so very much!!

Looks good to me, the rivet bracelet might be slightly earlier than the watch though. Would need the SNs tonfigure that out

Thank you so much! I will double check the serial tonight and report back. As I recall it is serial that fits within the 1968 range.

Bracelet should be able to be dated by the clasp

Thanks, yes I doubled checked both numbers. The case serial is 1678xxx and the bracelet is 4/68. Inside case back shows 6427 but I know it was common for case backs during this time to overlap as I believe this is a 6426. Inside case back date code is IV. 67. Movement cal 1225

So I believe all seems to be in order (?)

Cannot thank thank thank you enough for your assistance. I just wanted to double check everything.

You seem to be in good order. I love my 72 oyster precision.
