Nice and uniquely nostalgic watch that has risen in price recently.
It is no different to wear that any other 150g or so 36mm president with +/- link adjustments instead of micro adjustments.
It wears larger but comfortable like AP Royal Oaks because of the integrated case/bracelet width.
Since the movement is a hefty Rolex quartz the tick is noticeable which they are known for.
Pay attention to the finish because many out there have been significantly over-polished.
Don’t get stuck with an over-polished case/bracelet/bezel as the look is not the same. (check nice examples on web for comparison).
Better make sure there are enough links to fit your wrist and have extras because they are pricey.
Be sure you check the midnight date change to make sure the day and date snap quickly together.
Service is another story as the movement parts are not cheap to acquire and it’s not good to have serviced by just any watchmaker so sending it to the Beverly Hills Rolex Service Center at some point may be necessary.
Battery change is not hard but it better be done by a trustworthy watchmaker.
That’s my 2 cents, good luck as I like them very much...
