1956 Oysterdate Precision

I was the lucky recipient of this '56 Precision with Roulette date wheel, at 31mm its obviously small but its running well, and though not in mint shape the case looks very good and it keeps good time. There's something cool about wearing a vintage watch on my wrist that's older than I am

I'm not as up on this watch as the later subs and sports models.... if anyone has any info they know about the watch, I'd love to know it! I have no idea what these go for, or even if they sell very easily now? Its a keeper, but it would be a good idea to have some idea of what the value may be.

Its running great, but if it ever needs a service, is there any particular watchmakers anyone would recommend that are good yet still affordable?

The smaller Oysterdates are definitely not as collectible as the standard 34mm ones (if you would even call them collectible).
