Hello all , new member

[Bowzer]

Here is my Rolex date of 1973 with a black dial.
This watch was inherited from my late father
It has now been on my wrist for the last 24 years.
Regularly serviced and occasionally enjoys a swim in the Mediterranean Sea.
Never misses a beat , and of course being owned by my father before, it is a treasure to me.
Does this watch fall in the vintage watch category ?

Thank you all
