Hello all , new member

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

Yes, vintage indeed! Welcome to the forum. We have a saying here "every watch has a story" and it sounds like that rings true with your watch. Great to see you wear it daily, :)
