new to rolex

hi everyone,
I am new to this site, i live in london,and have a rolex oyster date from around 1958 (i think) please see pics and if anyone can tell me anything about this watch that would be great as I dont know very much about rolex and have lots to learn. This is my first rolex and is a great watch although a little scruffy it has lots of charm and i love it.

Cheers Sean.

Welcome
Nice vintage Oyster Date.
The red lettered date wheel is cool

Thanks everyone,
I was thinking of getting my watch sorted I.e bracelet tightened, new glass service and a polish.....is this a good idea for a watch like this ? And also is it worthwhile.
Thankful advance Sean.
