Sniff test passed.
Do you have dad's box and papers for the Monte Carlo? If not, have a rummage around for them if that's an option. It's very much worth keeping the set together.
BTW, you need a vintage-sympathetic restorer for this. On no account should you let Rolex service it - they'll want to swap out all sorts of parts, which will ruin its vintage value and its history. Check where the jeweler has sent it, and if they've sent it to the Rolex Service Centre, request its immediate return with no service.
