Q: Does it have a date function?
A: No. The Oyster Perpetual family is often time‑only, and Ref. 76080 typically features hours, minutes and seconds without a date window.

Q: How do I wind and set the time?
A: Unscrew the crown anti‑clockwise until it pops free. Position 1: wind the watch if it has stopped (about 20–30 turns is sufficient). Pull the crown gently to the next position to set the time, then push the crown in and screw it down firmly to help maintain water resistance.

Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I swim with it?
A: The Oyster case was originally rated to 100 metres, but water resistance on vintage watches cannot be guaranteed without recent servicing and pressure testing. Treat it as splash‑resistant at best and avoid swimming or showering unless the gaskets have been replaced and it has passed a professional pressure test. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before any exposure to moisture.

Q: What crystal and bezel does it have?
A: Most Ref. 76080 models feature a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal. The bezel is smooth, in stainless steel, giving a clean, understated look. We can verify the crystal type on this exact watch if you’d like.

A: The listed bracelet length is approximately 18 cm. The Oyster bracelet can be sized by adding or removing links; we’re happy to size it before dispatch. Extra links can often be sourced subject to availability—share your wrist measurement and we’ll advise.

Q: What do the serial and year indicate for this watch?
A: The serial K235225 corresponds to around the year 2000. The reference number (76080) and serial are typically found between the lugs; we can verify these details and provide photos on request.

Q: What luminous material is used on the dial and hands?
A: Late‑1990s to early‑2000s Rolex models commonly use LumiNova/Super‑LumiNova rather than tritium. The exact dial printing (e.g., “Swiss Made”) helps identify the lume type; we can confirm the specifics for this piece if needed.

Q: What accuracy and service interval should I expect?
A: A well‑maintained vintage Rolex should keep good time, though performance varies with age and service history. A routine service every 5–10 years is typically recommended, or sooner if accuracy or water resistance is a concern. Keep it away from strong magnets, chemicals and extreme heat, and wipe it with a soft microfibre cloth after wear.
