Q: Is this watch considered a ladies' watch, men's watch, or unisex?
A: The Hermès Profile in this size is often worn as a unisex vintage watch today. On a smaller wrist it wears like a classic mid-size piece, while on a larger wrist it gives a more understated, dressy look.

Q: What movement does this watch have?
A: It has a quartz movement, meaning it is battery powered rather than manual or automatic. Quartz watches are generally appreciated for their ease of use, accuracy, and low day-to-day maintenance.

Q: Does this watch have a date function?
A: Yes. This Hermès Profile features a date window on the dial, which adds practical everyday functionality while keeping the design clean and elegant.

Q: What condition is this watch in?
A: It is listed in good vintage condition. There are light scratches on the case and bracelet, which are consistent with age and normal wear and are reflected in the condition notes for this piece.

Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted?
A: The current bracelet perimeter is approximately 16 cm. Metal bracelets can often be made smaller by removing links, but making them larger usually requires extra compatible links. No extra links are listed in the product information, so buyers with larger wrists should check the fit carefully before purchasing.

Q: Is this watch waterproof?
A: We recommend treating it as a vintage watch rather than as a waterproof everyday sports watch. Even if a model was originally designed with water resistance, seals age over time and should be professionally tested. For that reason, it is best to avoid swimming, showering, or exposing it to water unless it has been recently pressure tested.

Q: Does it come with a box, papers, or other extras?
A: According to the product information, no box, papers, or other additional items are included with this watch. If anything is included, it will always be stated on the product page.

Q: Is this an authentic Hermès watch?
A: Yes. At A Retro Tale, all items are carefully vetted for authenticity. For vintage watches, this typically includes checking details such as the dial, case, bracelet, markings, serial number, materials, and overall construction to ensure they are consistent with the model.

Q: Is this watch a vintage model?
A: Yes, this piece is described as vintage. The exact production year is not stated here, but the Hermès Profile is an older model known for its elegant two-tone design, quartz movement, and classic everyday wearability.
