First Rolex would like some help

Hello all. I just received my first Rolex from my father for my graduation. I love it and have been very excited about it. I know it is a used one and I was trying to find out what model it was etc.. However I have searched all over the internet looking for this exact model and cannot find it anywhere. On the face it has 2,4,6,8,10 in digits and the rest are just lines. I included some photos but I have been having trouble getting a picture that is not blurry. Anyone know how to take a better picture without the camera reflecting in the face??

On the face, it says Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date
Superlative Chronometer Officially crafted.

Thanks for the help, and sorry for the picture quality

the clasp is in focus in your first picture, so the dial is out of focus because it is too close to the lens...try a few more shots and delete the ones you have attached...

Does it say 'Officially crafted'?

Looks like a 115234 (CDO?) w/champagne face and engine turned bezel.

You can remove the bracelet, and the space between the lugs on the 12 o'clock side should give you the reference number.

Looks to me like an OP date, although it should say Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified.
