Vintage Rolex Datejust real or fake

Hello everyone,

Relatively new to the vintage rolex world. Found a vintage ~1960's era datejust at a local dealer that I am interested in. The dealer claims that the entire watch is original. I wanted to double check what you all thought because I have never seen this color watch dial before and am overwhelmed with all of the "fake spotting" resources out there.

Thank you in advance for all of your help!

That sure looks like a redial to me. The printing isn’t right, and the minute track is way off.

Hard pass.

Dial is not original, as already mentioned, hopefully everything else is.
It is heavily polished.

The price would need to be super good to consider..

Agree with the above assessments, dial no good and poor polishing job. Who knows what is inside the case. I'd keep looking.

Thank you so much everyone! I knew that the pretty color green dial was too good to be true! You all saved me a big headache!
