Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is this Rolex Lady-Datejust, and who will it suit best? A: This watch has a 26 mm case, which is the classic vintage Lady-Datejust size. It offers an elegant, compact look on the wrist. This specific bracelet is listed as fitting a wrist up to 18 cm, so it is best suited to smaller wrist sizes.
Q: Is this watch automatic or battery-powered? A: It is an automatic mechanical Rolex, so it is powered by wrist movement rather than a battery. If it has stopped after not being worn, it can be manually wound before use.
Q: How do I wind and set a vintage Lady-Datejust? A: Unscrew the crown, wind it clockwise if the watch has stopped, then set the date and time as needed. Once finished, always screw the crown back down fully against the case to help maintain water resistance.
Q: Is the watch waterproof? A: The Datejust family is designed with an Oyster case and, when the crown is fully screwed down, Rolex rates the model line to 100 metres. However, because this is a vintage 1996 watch, it is sensible to avoid swimming or showering with it unless it has been recently pressure-tested.
Q: What features does this watch have? A: This piece features a stainless steel case and Jubilee bracelet, a fluted bezel, a champagne dial with stick hour markers, a date window with Cyclops lens, and a folding clasp closure. Its silver-toned case and bracelet give it a timeless look that works for both everyday wear and smarter occasions.
Q: What product information is included with this watch? A: The listed product information for this piece is a service guarantee from 2006. If any additional items such as a box, authenticity card, or extra bracelet links are not listed on the product page, they should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Does the serial number match the stated year? A: Yes. This watch is listed as reference 69174 with serial number T108672, and the T-prefix aligns with circa 1996 production, which matches the stated year on the product page.
Q: What condition is this watch in? A: It is described as being in very good overall condition. The hardware is noted as shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with careful wear on a vintage watch of this age.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Rolex? A: Wipe it gently with a soft cloth after wear and keep the crown properly screwed down. For deeper cleaning, use only mild soapy water and a soft brush when the crown is fully secured. As with any vintage mechanical watch, periodic professional servicing is recommended to keep it running well.
