Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is this Rolex and how does it wear? A: This watch has a 25mm case, giving it a petite, classic vintage look on the wrist. It is a good choice if you prefer discreet proportions rather than an oversized watch.
Q: Will it fit my wrist? A: The current bracelet is stated to fit a 16cm wrist or smaller. If your wrist is larger, you may need additional links or an adjustment before it will fit comfortably.
Q: Is this watch automatic or battery-powered? A: This is a self-winding mechanical Rolex, so it does not use a battery. It winds through wrist movement, and if it has been unworn for a while it may need to be wound and reset before use.
Q: Does it have a date function? A: Yes, this model has a date display, which adds practical everyday functionality to its classic stainless steel design.
Q: What condition is the watch in? A: The overall condition is very good. The case and bracelet show light scratches, the hardware is shiny with scratches, and the internal condition is listed as good.
Q: Can I wear this watch in water? A: As a vintage 1997 watch, it is best to treat water exposure cautiously. We recommend keeping the crown fully secured and avoiding swimming, showering, or submerging the watch unless it has been pressure-tested recently.
Q: What is included with the watch? A: This watch comes with a box. Please use the product information on this page as the full guide to what is included, and do not assume any unlisted items are part of the sale.
Q: How should I care for a vintage stainless steel Rolex? A: Wipe it gently with a soft cloth after wear, keep it away from harsh chemicals and strong impacts, and store it in a dry place when not in use. If timekeeping changes noticeably or the crown or date feels stiff, a service by a qualified watch specialist is advisable.
Q: Is 25mm too small by modern standards? A: That depends on your taste. A 25mm Rolex offers a refined, jewellery-like vintage look and is ideal for buyers who prefer elegant, understated wrist presence.
