All looks ok apart from the case back with is from a 1969 1501 which is a different watch and the barcelet is not original to the watch.

Smart looking watch
 But as you might have guessed, I'm a little biased. |

Great watch, good luck with it.
I bought my 15010 new in 86, and it still gets some quality wrist time. dave

The case back was manufactured in 1969 but was probably original to the watch. If you're into the OP Dates, AKs etc you quickly realize Rolex used whatever they had in the parts bin. It's not uncommon at all to see mix-matched case backs.
