Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is this Rolex Datejust, and how does it wear? A: This watch has a 31 mm case, which is considered a classic mid-size Datejust. It offers more presence than smaller dress-watch sizes while still feeling elegant and understated on the wrist. The bracelet on this piece currently fits a wrist of up to 18 cm.
Q: What are the key features of this specific watch? A: This 1998 Rolex Datejust reference 68240 is crafted in stainless steel and features a white dial with Roman numeral hour markers, a date display and a folding clasp closure. It is a vintage model with timeless everyday styling.
Q: Is this watch automatic or battery-powered? A: It is a mechanical self-winding watch, not a battery-powered quartz model. It winds through normal wrist movement during wear, and if it has stopped you can wind it manually before setting the time and date.
Q: What condition is the watch in? A: The overall condition is good, with light traces of use. The internal condition is noted as good, and there are visible scratches on the case and bracelet consistent with age and normal wear.
Q: Can I wear this vintage Datejust in water? A: Datejust models are designed with water-resistant construction when the crown is fully screwed down, but with any vintage pre-owned watch it is best to be cautious. We recommend avoiding swimming, bathing or prolonged water exposure unless the watch has been pressure-tested recently.
Q: Does this watch come with the original box, papers or other extras? A: No. This specific watch comes with no accessories. If something is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Is a 31 mm Datejust suitable as a ladies' or unisex watch? A: Yes. The 31 mm Datejust is a very versatile size that can work beautifully as a classic ladies' watch or as a discreet unisex option, depending on your personal style and wrist size.
Q: How should I care for this Rolex Datejust? A: Keep the crown properly screwed down when not setting the watch, wipe the case and bracelet with a soft microfibre cloth, and store it in a dry place away from heat, moisture and cosmetics. For maintenance or servicing, use Rolex or a qualified watch specialist.
Q: Does the lack of box and papers matter when buying a pre-owned Rolex? A: For many buyers, condition, authenticity and wearability matter more than original extras. Missing box and papers can affect collectability and future resale, but it can also make a pre-owned Rolex a more practical choice for everyday wear.
