Hello, new here! Need help!

Hey guys, I'm Norm. I'm from New Jersey, United States. I'm quite the newbie on watches, so I need to be filled in with a lot of stuff, so I'm hoping this community will help me.

So here's my story. I'm 16 and my dad has given me his favorite watch because he is leaving for his home next week. Since I was 6, he has had many health issues regarding his heart and became paralyzed when I was 7. He has always had an attraction to watches even with his health defect. Lately from a recent visit to the doctor, my family has been told there has been some leaking in his aorta; he gives the watch just in case if anything happens. Me knowing nothing about it, i'm trying to see new places to gather up information on this watch. SO I have some questions...

Photo is at the bottom of my post. On the watch it says "Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust"

1. What is the model of the watch and it's year of make
2. Good ways to clean the watch
3. Is it waterproof/water resistant?
4. How do I make sure my rolex is completely sealed?
5. How would I adjust the time?
