You’ve received good sound advice from many above.

I’d say 4 digit or 5 digit Rolex is totally up to your individual preference.

No matter how much you learn in the vintage area, one of the best things you can possibly do is get clear photos of your potential purchase and have people here in the vintage section of TRF and the great vintage collectors site of Vintage Rolex Forum (VRF) help you vet your purchase prior to finalizing it.

Good idea to do this even if buying from a reputable dealer.

It can save you a lot of unnecessary pain and frustration in the end for sure…
