First Vintage Purchase - Anything Wrong?

Hi everyone,

I’m purchasing my first vintage Rolex today and would like some piece of mind that the mark V dial looks okay.
Also, can anyone tell me more about date wheel? The font suggests to me that is it a service date wheel?

Thanks.

Looks off to me if its a MKIV open 6 dial. Not sure if there is another open 6 dial variation?

Hi,
I believe Mark V is also slightly open as well that appears the same as my one above.
I’m using the stickied article on red subs for reference.

Is there some chipping on the dial around 7-8 O'Clock? The Bezel pip doesn't look original.
