Anyone here have opinions on service dials/hands on vintage watches?

Bought a Datejust 1601 with a service dial/hands - the year of the watch would dictate it should have a Radium dial - but it has a Tritium one (T Swiss T)

Buying this as a present for my dad - brother and I are currently in a back and forth about it - he doesn't like vintage period and wants to spend 2x the price for a new OP. I liked this one because it's his birth year and I ended up getting it for what I think is a decent price ($3500 - threw an offer out there and they accepted)

But wondering what people think about the idea of the service dial on it and how much it might affect the price etc. I feel like $3500 is probably as low as one could get a 1601 (with bracelet) but I'm just looking to get some opinions here. Since it wasn't disclosed it wasn't all original I should be able to return it if I want to.

To me the biggest pain in the ass is the old style jubilee band with folded links since I'll have to pay someone to install extension links on there because I don't trust myself unfolding/refolding the metal lol

My brother however thinks 36mm is a ladies size watch (I have 8 inch wrists and I don't think it wears badly on me) - and that since the watch looks new/polished it doesn't have the personality of a vintage.

idk - just curious about some thoughts.
