Q: What size is this Rolex Lady Datejust, and how does it wear on the wrist? A: This watch has a 26 mm case, which is the classic vintage Lady Datejust size. It wears elegantly and compactly, making it ideal if you prefer a refined, petite look rather than a modern oversized fit.
Q: What is special about the houndstooth dial? A: The houndstooth dial is a rare decorative dial variation that gives this Lady Datejust a more distinctive, collectible look than standard plain dials. It adds a strong vintage character while still keeping the watch timeless and easy to style.
Q: Is this Rolex automatic or battery-powered? A: This model is automatic, meaning it is powered by wrist movement rather than a battery. With regular wear it self-winds, and it can also be wound manually when needed.
Q: Does this watch have a quickset date function? A: Yes, Lady Datejust reference 69173 is generally associated with the quickset date feature, which allows the date to be adjusted more easily without cycling through full 24-hour rotations.
Q: Will the bracelet fit my wrist? A: This bracelet currently fits a 16 cm wrist or smaller. As this is a vintage watch, fit is important, so please check your wrist measurement carefully before purchasing.
Q: Does this watch come with box, papers, or other extras? A: No. According to the product information, this watch comes with no accessories. If you are looking for original presentation items or documentation, please note that they are not included with this piece.
Q: What condition is the watch in? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. Externally, it shows light traces of use, the internal condition is also Very Good, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches consistent with careful wear and age.
Q: Can I wear this watch every day? A: Yes, the Lady Datejust is well known as a practical everyday luxury watch. That said, because this is a vintage 1993 piece, we recommend treating it with a little extra care and avoiding knocks, harsh chemicals, and unnecessary moisture exposure.
Q: Is it safe to wear a vintage Rolex like this in water? A: Even though the Lady Datejust line is built on Rolex's Oyster case concept, with a vintage watch it is safest not to assume full water resistance unless it has been freshly pressure-tested. For that reason, we recommend avoiding swimming, showering, or prolonged water exposure unless you have had it checked by a qualified watchmaker.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Rolex without accessories? A: At A Retro Tale, all items are carefully inspected for authenticity by specialists. For vintage Rolex watches, this typically includes checking the reference, serial, dial details, case, movement, bracelet, and overall construction to ensure the watch is authentic and correctly represented.
