Rolex 6426 or 6427

Hi, I’ve bought this vintage Rolex Oyster Precision,
do you think this is a good one? Everything seems to fit, serial from the early 1970s…6426 case engraving, although I’ve never seen the machine turned bezel on a ref. 6426, appreciate your thoughts1.jpg 2.jpg

Depending on year, a folded bracelet such as 7835. Or a more modern and sturdier 78350. There is also a 7205.

These bracelets should not be very expensive so do your homework.

6694 has a date feature.

As others have said, the bezel could have been swapped at some point - I think the original came in smooth not engine turn.
