Q: Will it fit my wrist? A: The bracelet currently fits a wrist up to approximately 19 cm. If your wrist is smaller, a watchmaker can usually size it down. If your wrist is larger, additional links would normally be needed.
Q: Is 36mm a good everyday size? A: Yes. The Datejust 36 is the original classic Datejust size and is known for balanced proportions that suit many wrists. It works well both as an everyday watch and as a dressier option.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.

Delivery & Returns
Q: What is included with this Rolex Datejust? A: This watch is offered as a full set and includes the box, certificate, booklet and outer box, as listed in the product information.
Q: What does Rolex reference 16233 mean? A: Ref. 16233 is a classic 36mm two-tone Datejust from this era, combining stainless steel and yellow gold with a fluted bezel. This example also features a champagne dial and Jubilee bracelet.
Q: What condition is the watch in? A: It is described as being in very good condition overall. The case and bracelet show light scratches consistent with careful pre-owned wear.
Q: Will it fit my wrist? A: The bracelet currently fits a wrist up to approximately 19 cm. If your wrist is smaller, a watchmaker can usually size it down. If your wrist is larger, additional links would normally be needed.
Q: Is 36mm a good everyday size? A: Yes. The Datejust 36 is the original classic Datejust size and is known for balanced proportions that suit many wrists. It works well both as an everyday watch and as a dressier option.
Q: Is it water-resistant? A: The Datejust Oyster case is designed for 100 metres of water resistance when the crown is fully screwed down. However, with any pre-owned watch from 2000, it is sensible to avoid unnecessary water exposure unless it has been pressure-tested recently.
Q: How do I wind and set the watch? A: Unscrew the crown to wind and set the watch. After adjusting the time or date, always screw the crown fully back down to help maintain water resistance.
Q: Does the listing include recent service history? A: No recent service history is stated in the product information. As with any mechanical watch, future servicing should be considered based on timekeeping, winding feel, date change and overall performance.
Q: How do you authenticate this watch? A: Every watch at A Retro Tale is carefully inspected by our in-house experts using detailed checks of reference details, serials, materials, construction and overall consistency. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
