Congratulations. Very nice of you to get for your brother, but what's with the MASSIVE text covering the picture?

"what a first time rolex owner should do in maintaining this watch?"

Take it in 5 or so years from now to have it inspected and serviced if the lubricants have dried or migrated from their normal locations inside. This reduces chance of component failure. But many here have gone a decade or more without needing such a service - so a lot depends upon your brother's usage...in other words, "it isn't the years, it's the mileage"

You are a generous brother. Wonderful watch. I see nothing wrong with a man having a tiny bit of bling markers on their watch
