Q: What is the Rolex Lady-Datejust 28mm (ref. 279174) ca 2023? A: It’s a modern Lady-Datejust with a 28mm Oystersteel case, 18k white gold fluted bezel, pink dial with Roman numerals, and a date window at 3 o’clock with the Cyclops magnifier. This example comes on a stainless steel Jubilee bracelet and is powered by an automatic self‑winding movement.
Q: Which movement does it use and what is the power reserve? A: Most Lady-Datejust 28 models of reference 279xxx use the Rolex Calibre 2236 (automatic) with an approximate 55‑hour power reserve and Rolex’s Syloxi silicon hairspring for improved stability. If you’d like, we can confirm the exact calibre in this specific watch before purchase.
Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I swim with it? A: The Oyster case is originally rated to 100 metres, but water resistance on any pre‑owned watch isn’t guaranteed unless it has been recently re‑sealed and pressure‑tested. We recommend avoiding swimming or showering unless tested by an authorised watchmaker, and always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before any exposure to moisture.
Q: How do I set the time and date correctly? A: Unscrew the crown anticlockwise. Position 1: wind the watch (20–30 turns if it has stopped). Position 2: quickset the date. Position 3: set the time. Avoid changing the date between roughly 8pm and 2am to protect the mechanism. When finished, push the crown in and screw it down firmly to maintain water resistance.
Q: Will the 28mm size suit my wrist? A: The 28mm case offers a refined, petite profile ideal for smaller wrists. This bracelet currently fits a wrist up to approximately 16.5cm; we can size it for you, and additional links may be sourced subject to availability and a fee—just share your wrist measurement.
Q: Does it have a sapphire crystal and the Cyclops magnifier? A: Yes—modern Lady-Datejust models from this era typically feature a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal with the signature Cyclops magnifier over the date. We can confirm the crystal specification for this exact piece on request.
Q: Can I swap the bracelet or resize it? A: We can resize the Jubilee bracelet prior to shipping. Strap or bracelet changes are possible if the correct lug width and end‑links are used; we’re happy to advise suitable options for this reference and help source additional links where available.
Q: How accurate should it be, and how often should it be serviced? A: Modern Rolex watches are regulated to Superlative Chronometer standards (around −2/+2 seconds per day), though real‑world performance varies with wear and service history. A routine service every 5–10 years is commonly recommended, or sooner if you notice timekeeping issues, moisture, or if water resistance is important to you.
Q: What’s included with this watch and is it authentic? A: This piece is delivered with box, seal and booklets (see the Accessories section). A Retro Tale thoroughly inspects and authenticates every item and provides a 12‑month mechanical guarantee for added peace of mind.
Q: How should I care for the watch day‑to‑day? A: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft microfiber cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals. Keep it away from strong magnets, extreme temperatures and hard knocks. Ensure the crown is screwed down when not adjusting the time/date, and have the seals checked if you plan any water exposure.
