Rolex Oyster Perpetual 26mm 1998 Serviced 2018 Full Set Watch

Q: Is this Rolex Oyster Perpetual automatic or battery-powered?
A: This model is an automatic mechanical watch, so it is powered by wrist movement rather than a battery. If it has not been worn for a while, it may need a gentle manual wind and time setting before use.

Q: What size is this watch, and how does it wear?
A: According to the product information, this watch has a 26 mm case. It offers a refined, compact look that suits those who prefer a smaller classic Rolex profile, especially on slimmer wrists.

Q: Will this watch fit my wrist?
A: The bracelet currently fits a wrist measuring 17 cm or smaller, according to the product information. If your wrist is smaller, the bracelet may be adjusted for a neater fit. If your wrist is larger, please check measurements carefully before purchasing.

Q: Does this watch have a date function?
A: No, this Oyster Perpetual is a time-only model. That means it displays the hours, minutes and seconds without a date window, which many collectors appreciate for its clean and balanced dial design.

Q: Is this watch water-resistant?
A: The Oyster Perpetual line is designed with Rolex’s Oyster case for water resistance. However, as this is a vintage pre-owned watch from 1998, we recommend treating it with extra care and avoiding swimming, showering or full water exposure unless you have had the water resistance checked recently.

Q: Has this watch been serviced?
A: Yes. According to the product information, this watch was serviced in 2018. As with any pre-owned mechanical watch, future servicing will depend on wear, age and performance over time.

Q: How should I care for a vintage Rolex like this one?
