Looks ok to me based on the pictures provided. Does the serial number between the lugs match the date on the case back?

How old is she? How old is the watch? What job, or student?
Does SHE like it?

she's almost a year old. she's already fascinated by my mechanical watches (omega and rolex).
I got my first watch when I was 4. my grandpa, who got me infected with the watch bug, got his at around the same age.
I believe in starting early. I already got her a very nice starter omega watch (70s ladies seamaster, nice and sturdy) and want to get her a nice little starter rolex as well. and one day when she grows up and develops her tastes fully, she'll take it from there. :)

Looks good but not sure how it will look by the time she's old enough to wear it.

ty everyone for your kind and timely input. i have pulled the trigger. my beloved little thing will now have a little rolex in addition to her little omega to one day soon begin to learn the wonders of vintage, mechanical watches that we all are so fond of.
hope it's a little hobby a dad and his daughter can share for a lifetime. like i did with my beloved grandpa while he was alive. :)
