I would look to a much newer watch that is complete with box, papers and an active warranty that you would enjoy wearing. The market is great for buyers for a 36 mm Date Just and they are a classic. Go with the fluted bezel and Jubilee bracelet with the classic Blue/Black/Silver/White dial and you will have a watch to wear and enjoy and one that at worst, will be static in the market. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

Very good advice. I wouldn’t recommend a vintage watch for someone as their first Rolex especially as a daily wearer. Too many pitfalls for a newbie to understand.
