Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is this Rolex watch? A: This watch has a 26mm case diameter, giving it a refined, classic wrist presence. It is a traditional smaller Rolex size that suits those who prefer an elegant and discreet look.
Q: Will this watch fit my wrist? A: The bracelet on this specific watch fits a wrist of up to 17cm. If your wrist is smaller, a watchmaker may be able to adjust the bracelet for a neater fit.
Q: Does this watch have a date function? A: Yes. This Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date features a date window at 3 o’clock, magnified by the Cyclops lens for easier reading.
Q: Is this watch automatic or battery-powered? A: This model is automatic, meaning it uses a self-winding mechanical movement powered by wrist motion. It does not require a battery.
Q: Is the watch waterproof? A: Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date models are designed with a waterproof Oyster case. However, as this is a pre-owned watch from 2000, we recommend treating it with extra care around water unless it has been pressure-tested recently by a qualified watchmaker.
Q: What condition is this watch in? A: This watch is listed in very good condition overall. The external and internal condition are noted as good, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches consistent with careful pre-owned wear.
Q: What is included with this watch? A: This watch includes its box and certificate. Please refer to the product information on this page for the full included set.
Q: What are the key design details of this watch? A: This piece features a stainless steel case and Oyster bracelet, a blue dial with silver-tone hour markers, an engine-turned bezel, a date window with Cyclops lens, and a folding clasp closure.
Q: Is 26mm a good everyday size? A: Yes, if you prefer a classic and jewellery-like watch profile. A 26mm Rolex wears elegantly and comfortably, especially for those who like a more understated everyday watch rather than an oversized look.
Q: How should I care for this watch? A: To help preserve it, wipe it gently with a soft cloth and keep the crown properly secured. For long-term maintenance, periodic professional servicing is recommended, especially for a pre-owned mechanical watch.
