Your thought on this recently purchased vintage Precision?

Hello everybody,

I'm a bit new around here, but am looking for information on a vintage Rolex I recently acquired. It's not working at the moment, but I'm going to do my best to get it back up and ticking again. The patina on the face might not be for everybody, but I think it's quite handsome and gracefully aged.

I don't know much more about it than is included in these photos, but would definitely like to know more. Also, would be curious to hear opinions on the likelihood that it could ever serve as a day-to-day functioning watch again...

If so, any recommendations on watch band type/colors?

Thanks!

It could be as simple as the main spring.

The movement looks well maintained and capable of keeping time again.

Any strap will look good with that watch.

a leather band would suit it fine!
