1973 oyster precision

I fell in love with this vintage rolex. The dealer says it's a rare 1973 model. I could not find it anywhere on the web, which got me thinking whether it is a real Rolex at all. Does anyone know this watch? Price is EUR 2500 with 2yr guarantee from dealer. Any advice would be highly apreciated!!!
Thanks! Hendrik

I would stay away. It looks like a redialed frankenwatch. I would not pay 2500 euros.

A frankenwatch at the best. I would not feel comfortable buying for any price.

For that price you could get a really nice all original watch... That's stupid money for a dodgy item.

From what have seen most website's selling pre-owned in Europe will be significantly higher than US.
Some are almost double the price after currency conversions, so even if you get hit by VAT and and customs and what not, it might probably be still cheaper to get it from the US if you are looking to buy online.

An obvious perspective

I might be missing something here, but I don't think Rolex ever released any reference with an inverted 12:00 triangle index.
