Q: What is the Franck Muller Long Island 23mm Ref 902QZREL? A: It’s a Swiss‑made ladies’ dress watch from Franck Muller’s Long Island collection, featuring a 23mm rectangular stainless steel case, a silver guilloché dial with oversized black Arabic numerals, a quartz movement, and a stainless steel bracelet. This piece comes as a full set with original box and papers.
Q: Is the movement quartz or automatic, and what are the benefits? A: This reference uses a Swiss quartz movement. Quartz is highly accurate, low‑maintenance, and ideal for those who prefer a “grab‑and‑go” watch without needing to wind it.
Q: What battery does it use and how long will it last? A: Most Franck Muller quartz models use a standard silver‑oxide cell (commonly 377/SR626SW), but the exact type should be confirmed by a watchmaker. Typical battery life is around 2–3 years depending on use and storage.
Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I wear it while swimming? A: As a luxury dress watch and vintage/pre‑owned piece, water resistance cannot be guaranteed. Treat it as splash‑resistant at best and avoid swimming, showering, or submersion. If light water resistance is desired, have the gaskets replaced and the watch pressure‑tested by a professional, and always keep the crown fully pushed in.
Q: Will the 23mm size suit my wrist and can the bracelet be resized? A: 23mm offers a petite, elegant presence ideal for small to medium wrists. We can size the stainless steel bracelet before dispatch; share your wrist measurement for guidance. Extra links may be sourced subject to availability and may incur a fee.
Q: How do I set the time on this quartz Long Island? A: Gently pull the crown out one click to stop the seconds, turn the crown to set the hands to the desired time, then push the crown back in to restart the movement. Avoid setting near strong magnets and handle the crown carefully to protect the stem and seals.
Q: What crystal does it have and how should I care for it? A: Most Long Island models feature a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal, though specifics can vary by reference. We can confirm on request. Clean with a soft, dry microfiber cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, chemicals, or polishes.
Q: What servicing does a quartz watch typically need? A: Routine battery replacement every 2–3 years is standard. A full service is usually only required if issues arise (e.g., moisture, erratic timekeeping). Keep the watch away from strong magnets and have seals checked periodically if you wear it regularly.
Q: Can I swap the bracelet for a leather strap? A: Many Long Island references can be fitted with a leather strap when using the correct lug/attachment and end‑links. Contact us with your preference and we’ll advise compatibility and options.
Q: What is included and how do you guarantee authenticity and after‑sales support? A: This watch is delivered as a full set with original box and papers. A Retro Tale professionally authenticates every item, provides a 12‑month movement warranty, free insured DHL shipping, 0% customs fees for EU buyers, and a 14‑day return policy. We’re happy to share additional photos or details on request.
