Q: What model and year is this watch?
A: This is a Swiss-made Rolex Oyster Perpetual, reference 67180, dated 1997. The case diameter is listed as 26 mm.

Q: Is a 26 mm watch right for me?
A: A 26 mm case offers a compact look rather than an oversized style. Compare the listed diameter with a watch you already wear to help judge your preferred proportions.

Q: What wrist size does this watch fit?
A: The bracelet is listed as fitting an 18 cm wrist or smaller. If you need a smaller fit, ask about bracelet adjustment before purchasing. Additional links are not confirmed in the product information.

Q: What condition is this watch in?
A: This watch is in Very Good Condition. The exterior has light traces of use, the internal condition is rated Very Good, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches. It is a pre-owned watch, so some signs of wear should be expected.

Q: What is included with the full set?
A: The product information describes this watch as a full set and explicitly lists a box and outer box. Ask for confirmation of the exact paperwork and any other included items if these are important to your purchase.

Q: Does this Oyster Perpetual need a battery, and how do I wind it?
A: The Oyster Perpetual uses an automatic mechanical movement rather than a battery. Wrist movement winds it during wear. If it stops, Rolex advises unscrewing the crown and turning it clockwise at least 25 times for an adequate partial wind, then carefully screwing the crown back down.

Q: Can I swim or shower with this vintage watch?
A: Current water resistance is not confirmed in the product information. Do not assume that the original water-resistance specification still applies to this 1997 watch. Keep it out of water unless a qualified watchmaker has checked the seals and confirmed its suitability for the intended use through pressure testing.

Q: Has this watch recently been serviced?
A: A service date or service history is not supplied. The Very Good internal condition rating should not be taken as confirmation of a recent service. Ask for any available service records and have a qualified watchmaker advise on maintenance.

Q: How should I clean and care for this watch?
A: Gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. As current water resistance is unconfirmed, avoid washing or immersing it until it has been checked. Keep the crown properly screwed down after winding or setting the time, and arrange professional servicing when needed.
